Youth Classes
Tykes On Bikes
Who wants to learn how to ride a bicycle, without worrying
about falling? Does pedaling define riding? Downhill
mountain bikers don’t pedal, road bike riders descending a
back road don’t pedal, BMX riders in a halfpipe don’t pedal,
and motorcyclists don’t pedal. They are all riding. What
do they all have in common? The ability to balance on two
wheels, and lean through turns regardless of what put them
in motion. For children, walking and running are motions
that come natural. The simplicity of Strider bikes allows
children to concentrate on the fundamental skills of
balancing, leaning, and steering while propelling the bike in
a natural way. PLEASE NOTE: Deadline to register is April
27, max of 10 participants.
For ages 2-4 years.

danc
Do you like to cheer? Want to meet some new friends? Then this exciting cheer team is for you, as
you will perform at local events such as parades, festivals, the fair and other special events. This
two-part season runs April through May and picks back up in August and runs through November,
registration fee covers both. Practices are every other Tuesday for one hour. There is an additional
uniform fee of $25 (shirt, shorts, hair bow, poms) which applies if you are new to the Shenandoah
Cheer League performance team, this fee is paid to the instructor once you start practice. The
performance cheer team is a fun way to show off what you learned in classes each week, this is not a
competition squad. PLEASE NOTE: Participants may register at any time throughout the year. You
can visit www.shenandoahcheer.com for more information. For ages 7-12 years.
Dance warm ups and cool downs promote a flexible body and calm mind. Relaxation helps with
focus and concentration. Modern Dance builds confidence, inner strength and grace. Rhythmic movement improves balance, opens
channels of self-awareness, and brings the feeling of inner harmony. A mind-body connection is made. Today, more than any other time
in history we need to connect to our bodies. This class creates a positive attitude, empowers believing in possibility, and
encourages having no judgment of self or others, and finding our inner bliss. We will work in bare feet and flexible sneakers.
PLEASE NOTE: Deadline to register is February 20. For ages 6-16 years.

Understanding how your camera makes an exposure will help you decide which settings to use for
the photo you are taking. Learn which settings will help you freeze or blur motion, how you can
purposely blur the background behind your subject, how to capture the tiny details when taking
close-up shots and what each of the auto scene modes do in regards to exposure. YOU, not the

is designed for those who are comfortable with their cameras but want to learn more about
photography and exposure settings and want to take the camera off the auto mode. Appropriate for
digital SLR cameras and digital Point & Shoot cameras with manual exposure settings. PLEASE

HOW TO WATCH A GOOD PROGRAM BE ELIMINATED
Nothing eliminates a recreation program faster than residents who wait until the last minute to register! There is a point when a program must be
canceled or modified if there is insufficient registration. All programs require a high level of coordination, often including facility scheduling, staffing,
volunteer recruitment and purchasing of supplies.
DON’T LET THIS HAPPEN TO YOUR FAVORITE PROGRAM! Please register by the posted deadline.

“9 to 5” At Riverside Center
Pushed to the boiling point at their workplace, three female co-workers concoct a plan to get even with
the sexist, egotistical, hypocritical bigot they call their boss. In an ingenious conspiracy to gain control
of the company, the girls discover that there’s nothing that they can’t do – even in a late 1970s man’s
world. Adapted from the hit movie with music and lyrics by Dolly Parton, this outrageous, thoughtprovoking, and lightly romantic mixture of friendship and revenge in the “Rolodex era” provides a
glimpse into taking care of business with a not-so-soft feminine touch. We are pleased to have the return
of TV and film star Sally Struthers to enhance a stellar cast belting out songs varying from the hilarious
to the downright suggestive. Price includes dinner, show and gratuity. PLEASE NOTE: We will pick up at
8:30am at the Mt. Jackson Food Lion with stops northward and return to Strasburg at 5:45pm. Deadline to
register is March 5. For ages 55 and over.
