Dance

Pre-Primary and Primary levels, develop students' physical skills, stamina, creativity, expression and musicality using a range of sounds

and musical styles. This strong foundation prepares students for a successful transition to ballet and other dance genres.

These levels are appropriate for girls and boys 5-8 years old.

Ballet classes will cover the basics of ballet following the Royal Academy of Dance Syllabus. In all ballet classes, students will

work on strengthening their flexibility, co-ordinate steps, patterns, and changes of direction. In the more advanced classes we will continue to work on mastering the technique of more challenging ballet steps, and

continue to improve on progressive dance movements.

Graded Syllabi, Royal Academy of Dance Grades 1 - 6 Award, provide a broad practical dance education, progressively developing the

technical, musical and performance skills of the student. They incorporate Classical Ballet, Free Movement and Character.

Classical ballet is the core of the syllabus. Free Movement incorporates movements in common with dance genres such as Natural Movement,

Contemporary and Classical Greek. Character is the theatrical presenta-tion of national dance using ethnic dance and music, which has been

freely adapted for the theatre. Three styles have been selected for study: Hungarian, Russian and Polish. These levels are appropriate for students from the age of six years and upwards, and can provide challenging

and rewarding training to the end of high school.

is a Royal Academy of Dance certified teacher and has been dancing for the past 27 years. She has danced with such stu-dios as Les Grandes Ballets Canadien Co in Montreal, the George Randolf School in To-ronto and Centre State Perfmance Co. in Vancovuer. She started out with ballet at a young age and soon branched out into modern dance and jazz. In 1995, Ga-brielle moved from Cambridge, Ont. to Vancouver where she earned her teacher training certificate and began her career as a dance instructor. She has been teach-ing in Ucluelet since moving here in 2003.

The Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) is a non-profit organiza-tion based out of London, England. It is known worldwide for its solid structure in developing the fun-damentals of classical ballet.

YOU WANT ME TO COOK WHAT?! A CULINARY JOURNEY THROUGH FORGOTTEN FOODSThursday, October 7 @ 6pmThere are certain foods that more often than not illicit a response of "How in the world do you want me to cook that"? Strange Squashes, awkward root vegetables, octopus and certain game meats fall into this category for many of us. This class will give you the opportunity to experience foods that do not sit in your common grocery store but should because of how tasty they are.

5 WAYS WITH BC FISH Thursday, September 30 @ 6pmAge: 16+We will be cooking and tasting some of the beautiful fish that we are privileged to have here on the west coast.

Culinary Programs

NEW!

Bobby Lax moved across the country to Tofino, B.C. five years ago where he began an unconvention-al culinary path working on a gourmet food truck. Cooking directly under the watchful eye of CIA grad Lisa Ahier at SoBo, he had the privilege of working with some of B.C.'s best in-gredients while in a very fun environment. Bobby's desire to work with new fresh and regional products then led him to the Bounti-ful Okanagan where he found Joy Road Catering. This fall, he will split his time between teaching cooking classes, working on an oys-ter farm, helping out with the newly formed Ucluelet and Tofino Culinary Guild & cooking for friends at any opportunity.

In Bobby’s classes, you will celebrate, honour and

share food while learning valuable kitchen skills. As one student commented

“Bobby’s classes are nourishment for both the

body and soul.” Come see for yourself.

Instructor Profile

GRAPES AND GRUB: FEATURING JOIE FARM WINES $60 + HSTThursday, September 16 @ 6pmAge: 16+This class will be a relaxed lesson in why some food and wine pairings are a beautiful marriage and why some are just a first date. We will focus on B.C. wines while also trying wines from the more established regions of the world. In addition, Bobby will demonstrate some simple dishes so all participants can confidently go home and share a similiar evening with family and friends. Check out Joie Farm Wines at www.joie.ca

WHAT DO I DO WITH ALL OF THESE TOMATOES?!Thursday, September 23 @ 6pmAge: 16+Whether you consider tomatoes a fruit (scientifically, true) or a vegetable (it is used in savoury cooking) it is one of the most versatile and wonderful foods we have. This class will demonstrate how to utilize the abundance of tomatoes you have in your garden or grocery store at this time of year. We will indulge ourselves in this gift of fall by making a refreshing salad, a warm-ing soup, a west coast bruscetta, and a few other surprises that will make you wish it was tomato season all year round.

Your Actions Make a Difference!

A Guide to Living with Our Bears• NEVER store garbage outside - store indoors in a bear-proof facility. • NEVER store fish/meat or other food in outdoor fridges or freezers.• Bring pet food and feeding dishes inside.• Dispose of all fish offal in a bear resistant container.• Burn barbeques clean after each use. Clean and store them covered out of the wind, preferably

indoors (without propane tank). • Do not use any type of birdfeeder in bear country. As an alternative, plant red or pink native flowers known to appeal to birds or use birdbaths to attract birds without attracting bears.• Do not leave garbage, groceries, animal feed, coolers, or any odorous item in your vehicle or in the back of a pick-up truck. Bears can easily pry open car/truck windows and doors to access food.• Do not feed bears; feeding wildlife in BC is illegal and subject to fines up to $50,000.• Do not yell, throw objects or otherwise harass bears in their natual setting.• Do not stop your vehicle to view roadside bears.

To report wildlife-human interactions where public safety may be at risk, call the Conservation Officer Service at 1-877-952-RAPP (7277)

Ucluelet Children’s Centreopening October 4th, 2010!

Ucluelet Family Ties is a program open to all expectant parents and new parents in Ucluelet and area. We're located in the Coastal Com-munities Services Hub, part of the new Ucluelet Community Centre!

Family Ties runs a weekly drop in at the Hub, where parents can gather to chat, visit and participate in a discussion on a topic of interest. There's snacks, toys for little ones, an outreach worker and the Public Health Nurse is also on hand. Got a question? There's an answer; from the nurse, the outreach worker, or an experienced parent in the group. Got a concern? The

outreach worker can help gather information, attend appointments, follow up with you. Celebrating a milestone? Baby's first smile, rolling over, first tooth? Come share with the group!

Expectant parents have an added challenge living on the coast, because birth services must be accessed outside our commun-ities. Family Ties can be a source of support before and after your little one arrives. Prenatal classes are arranged as needed; if you're expecting please let us know if you'd like to attend a series. Information is tailored to west coast parents' needs.

Experienced parents are welcome too; come visit, chat, share your wisdom!

Contact: Family Ties 250-726-2224 or call the Public Health Nurse at 250-725-2172Drop ins: Tuesdays 10:30 to noon in Ucluelet, outreach worker available afterward, no appointment necessary
