It's another rainy Tuesday...but the birds keep on singing!
Our feathered friends know we're on the precipice of Spring, and that's a reason to be excited about the days to come. Another reason is all of the exciting things happening at the Park this week!
Dancers, beginners and pros alike, take note! We have three brand new dance offerings this week: On Saturday, check out DanceFit and Afrocuban Workshops, and enjoy Good Vibes Sunday before you dive into the new week!
Saturday from 4:00pm - 6:00pm, join Photoworks for an opening reception celebrating their new youth photography exhibition, So It Goes. The exhibition, featuring works by students who attend five different area high schools, will be on view through May 26.
We hope you'll help spread the word about the Park by nominating us in this year's Montgomery Magazine Readers' Choice awards! See below for specific categories.
Read on for more of this week's happenings, including upcoming classes. We can't wait to see you at the Park soon, and as always, we appreciate your support!
