Madsen Arts Centre is just a bit different. 1. We do not exclude adult dancers from regular classes. Levels Intermediate Foundation through Advanced 2 are open to minimum age of 11 and through to 106! If you have the ability and desire, we will teach you. 2. We cap our younger classes at 12 students and our older classes at 15. We want to give every student the attention and feedback they need and deserve. This cannot be accomplished in large classes. Someone is inevitably left behind. 3. We are focused on teaining. Our classes are not choreography or exam syllabus classes. They are set up to tearing every student and offer the modifications and challenges needed to help every student gain a deeper understanding of the technique and strength needed. Not every student dances to compete, perform or enter exams, but every student deserves the best training possible, whether they dance once a week or many hours. 4. Because of our class structure, exams and competitions are not mandatory. These are extra and outside of the regular class schedule so that it is available to those who want to pursue those options. Want to know more? Come to a free class on Wednesday, June 26! Pre-register to guarantee a spot. Classes are by age group, not ability. We can help everyone! https://lnkd.in/gjqRA2EC

How to enhance the provision of the Arts in your primary school 🎨 Limited financial resources and a lack of expertise in art, drama, and music can contribute to a decline in the quality and quantity of these subjects in your primary school. However, there are effective strategies that can address these challenges. ➡️ Implement Cross-Curricular Learning- Art subjects provide a unique opportunity to foster creativity. Discover innovative ways to incorporate drama into literacy lessons or integrate music into modern foreign languages. ➡️ Seek Inspiration from your Surroundings- Art can be created using everyday materials, such as old cereal boxes or sticks from the playground, which are readily available at no cost.

When is a hearing loop necessary? (Share this post!) ℹ️ A hearing loop is used in locations in which groups of people gather for an event or activity and stay for an extended time. In these types of spaces, the distance between the wall or ceiling-mounted speakers and the seats can be significant. This causes the sound quality to deteriorate prior to arriving at the hearing instrument in the ears. Therefore, speech intelligibility is seriously compromised. Additionally, reverberation or echo can be very problematic in these areas. There are many types of venues that fall under this category but below are a few very common ones. ⏩️ Theatres, Cinemas, And Performing Arts Facilities ⏩️ High School and College Auditoriums and Classrooms ⏩️ Houses of Worship - Sanctuaries, Fellowship Halls, and Worship Centers ⏩️ Government Chambers and Libraries ⏩️ Sports Arenas and Stadiums ⏩️ Airport Terminals Over the last 14 years, we've installed hundreds of hearing loops throughout Florida.
