1 July 2010 New Tai Chi Classes Time: 6:00pm - 7:30pm Location: Rose Center The Taoist Tai Chi Society of Tennessee is offering three new beginner classes at the Rose Center in Morristown starting in June. Beginning Tai Chi classes will meet on Mondays from 6:00 to 7:30 P.M. beginning June 7; Wednesdays from 9:00 to 10:30 A.M. beginning June 2; and Thursdays from 6:00 to 7:30 P.M. beginning June 3. The courses will each continue to meet every week until the entire set of 108 tai chi moves is learned, usually about four months. New students may join at any time. A Continuing Class is held on Saturday mornings from 9:00 A.M. to 10:30 A.M. for those who have completed a beginning class. Members of the Society pay a one-time $20 registration fee and a monthly donation of $30, $20 for seniors or $50 for families. The exercises can be performed in any comfortable clothing. Shoes that offer good support and balance, such as comfortable walking shoes or sneakers are required, but there are no special uniforms. People of all ages can learn the slow, gentle, continuous movements of Taoist Tai Chi, and it can be adapted to match any level of ability. Taoist Tai Chi (taijiquan) is a centuries old exercise that promotes health and reverses the effects of ageing. While most of us think of tai chi as an exercise for able-bodied adults, the benefits to those with health challenges are substantial. Physicians studying this ancient art have reported improved balance, stronger bones and lowered blood pressure. It helps a wide range of chronic ailments, and in some cases improves short-term memory, sleep habits, and reduces stress. Those suffering from debilitating disease and injury receive great benefit. The Society’s purpose is to make Taoist Tai Chi available to all, to promote its health benefits, to practice charity, and promote cultural exchange. All of the Society’s instructors are accredited volunteers who donate their services. To learn more about the Society call 318-0889 (Morristown), 865-482-7761 (Oak Ridge), 865-577-1665 (Knoxville) or visit www.ttcs.org.

6 July 2010 New Sections Of Zumba Fitness Class Time: 10:00am - The Zumba® program fuses hypnotic Latin rhythms and easy-to-follow moves to create a one-of-a-kind fitness program that will blow you away. The goal is simple: To inspire you to want to work out, to love working out, to get hooked. The routines feature interval training sessions where fast and slow rhythms and resistance training are combined to tone and sculpt your body while burning fat. Add some Latin flavor and international zest into the mix and you've got a Zumba® class! Ryan Kelley is adding new morning Zumba classes at Rose Center on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 10:00 A.M. beginning on July 6. Classes are continuing on Thursday evenings at 6:00 P.M. and 8:00 P.M.

Students may attend any of the classes. As a former contestant on NBC’s “The biggest Loser” (Season 2), Ryan Smith-Kelley certainly knows what it feels like to struggle with her weight (she has lost almost 100 pounds). Following the show, she was crowned Mrs. TN United States 2006 and competed in the Mrs. United States pageant. While she was excited to be part of such a prestigious event, she found that it only added to her already existing insecurities about her body and weight. It was not long after that period that she began to resort back to some of her former ways. Because of this, she knew that she was going to have to find something different and out-of-the-ordinary if she planned to stay conditioned and in shape. She began to seek out new ways to exercise other than the traditional gym experience that had grown monotonous for her. That’s when she was introduced to a new exercise craze called Zumba - a high-energy Latin dance aerobic class that required no previous dance training. Before long, the enjoyment she found in her experience began to carry over into her conversations with friends. When she realized that not many people had heard about it, but wanted to participate, she decided to obtain her Zumba instructor’s license. That then encouraged her to go even further and obtain her personal trainer’s license with Aerobics and Fitness Association of America (AFAA), as well as her CPR and Automated External Defibrillator (AED) certifications. She now hopes that her love and passion for genuinely having a good time while exercising will be a contagious experience for her community. To pre-register or reserve your spot for any of these classes or personal training sessions, call Rose Center at 423-581-4330 or Ryan Kelley at 423-523-2303 or email her at kelleyryan78@hotmail.com.

Your child will begin with simple images and progress to detailed compositions. Learning the elements of design (line, shape, mass, color, space, texture, and pattern) will help each child develop the ability to recognize how to execute a drawing. During the second semester watercolor will be taught. Watercolor is a very forgiving medium that teaches the use of color and mixing color. In this class your child will learn the basics of color and its uses by applying the knowledge directly into their artwork. Oil paint will be introduced in the third semester. Oil Painting takes the techniques learned in both pencil drawing and watercolor to create more detailed and controlled artworks. This step will really showcase your child’s abilities. To register your child for art lessons or for more information, call Sandi Starnes at 423-585-5936 or Rose Center at 423-581-4330. Click here to return to calendar

14 July 2010 New Tai Chi Classes Time: 9:00am - 10:30am Location: Rose Center The Taoist Tai Chi Society of Tennessee is offering three new beginner classes at the Rose Center in Morristown starting in June. Beginning Tai Chi classes will meet on Mondays from 6:00 to 7:30 P.M. beginning June 7; Wednesdays from 9:00 to 10:30 A.M. beginning June 2; and Thursdays from 6:00 to 7:30 P.M. beginning June 3. The courses will each continue to meet every week until the entire set of 108 tai chi moves is learned, usually about four months. New students may join at any time. A Continuing Class is held on Saturday mornings from 9:00 A.M. to 10:30 A.M. for those who have completed a beginning class. Members of the Society pay a one-time $20 registration fee and a monthly donation of $30, $20 for seniors or $50 for families. The exercises can be performed in any comfortable clothing. Shoes that offer good support and balance, such as comfortable walking shoes or sneakers are required, but there are no special uniforms. People of all ages can learn the slow, gentle, continuous movements of Taoist Tai Chi, and it can be adapted to match any level of ability. Taoist Tai Chi (taijiquan) is a centuries old exercise that promotes health and reverses the effects of ageing. While most of us think of tai chi as an exercise for able-bodied adults, the benefits to those with health challenges are substantial. Physicians studying this ancient art have reported improved balance, stronger bones and lowered blood pressure. It helps a wide range of chronic ailments, and in some cases improves short-term memory, sleep habits, and reduces stress. Those suffering from debilitating disease and injury receive great benefit. The Society’s purpose is to make Taoist Tai Chi available to all, to promote its health benefits, to practice charity, and promote cultural exchange. All of the Society’s instructors are accredited volunteers who donate their services. To learn more about the Society call 318-0889 (Morristown), 865-482-7761 (Oak Ridge), 865-577-1665 (Knoxville) or visit www.ttcs.org.

20 July 2010 New Sections Of Zumba Fitness Class Time: 10:00am - The Zumba® program fuses hypnotic Latin rhythms and easy-to-follow moves to create a one-of-a-kind fitness program that will blow you away. The goal is simple: To inspire you to want to work out, to love working out, to get hooked.

Students may attend any of the classes. As a former contestant on NBC’s “The biggest Loser” (Season 2), Ryan Smith-Kelley certainly knows what it feels like to struggle with her weight (she has lost almost 100 pounds). Following the show, she was crowned Mrs. TN United States 2006 and competed in the Mrs. United States pageant. While she was excited to be part of such a prestigious event, she found that it only added to her already existing insecurities about her body and weight. It was not long after that period that she began to resort back to some of her former ways. Because of this, she knew that she was going to have to find something different and out-of-the-ordinary if she planned to stay conditioned and in shape. She began to seek out new ways to exercise other than the traditional gym experience that had grown monotonous for her. That’s when she was introduced to a new exercise craze called Zumba - a high-energy Latin dance aerobic class that required no previous dance training. Before long, the enjoyment she found in her experience began to carry over into her conversations with friends. When she realized that not many people had heard about it, but wanted to participate, she decided to obtain her Zumba instructor’s license. That then encouraged her to go even further and obtain her personal trainer’s license with Aerobics and Fitness Association of America (AFAA), as well as her CPR and Automated External Defibrillator (AED) certifications. She now hopes that her love and passion for genuinely having a good time while exercising will be a contagious experience for her community. To pre-register or reserve your spot for any of these classes or personal training sessions, call Rose Center at 423-581-4330 or Ryan Kelley at 423-523-2303 or email her at kelleyryan78@hotmail.com.

The series consists of three semesters with each focusing on a different medium including pencil drawing, watercolor, and oil painting. The classes will meet from 4:00 to 6:00 P.M. for eight weeks. This gives your child 16 concentrated hours in one medium. The next semester will begin on Tuesday, July 13, 2010. Each child must begin in pencil drawing. The classes are open to children between the ages of 7 and 12 who have an interest in art. Each session is $20 (two hours). The 8-week semester cost is $160, which is due in full at the beginning of the semester. The class size will be no more than 10 students allowing for plenty of one-on-one attention for each child.

When she realized that not many people had heard about it, but wanted to participate, she decided to obtain her Zumba instructor’s license. That then encouraged her to go even further and obtain her personal trainer’s license with Aerobics and Fitness Association of America (AFAA), as well as her CPR and Automated External Defibrillator (AED) certifications. She now hopes that her love and passion for genuinely having a good time while exercising will be a contagious experience for her community. To pre-register or reserve your spot for any of these classes or personal training sessions, call Rose Center at 423-581-4330 or Ryan Kelley at 423-523-2303 or email her at kelleyryan78@hotmail.com.

27 July 2010 Art Classes For Children Time: 4:00pm - 6:00pm Location: Rose Center Sandi Starnes is continuing her series of in-depth art classes for children at Rose Center. The series consists of three semesters with each focusing on a different medium including pencil drawing, watercolor, and oil painting. The classes will meet from 4:00 to 6:00 P.M. for eight weeks. This gives your child 16 concentrated hours in one medium. The next semester will begin on Tuesday, July 13, 2010. Each child must begin in pencil drawing. The classes are open to children between the ages of 7 and 12 who have an interest in art. Each session is $20 (two hours). The 8-week semester cost is $160, which is due in full at the beginning of the semester. The class size will be no more than 10 students allowing for plenty of one-on-one attention for each child. A supply list of necessary materials for each semester will be available to pick-up at Rose Center. The pencil drawing section will introduce a person to the basics of art and design: drawing shapes, objects, creating shadows, and full compositions. Your child will begin with simple images and progress to detailed compositions. Learning the elements of design (line, shape, mass, color, space, texture, and pattern) will help each child develop the ability to recognize how to execute a drawing. During the second semester watercolor will be taught. Watercolor is a very forgiving medium that teaches the use of color and mixing color. In this class your child will learn the basics of color and its uses by applying the knowledge directly into their artwork. Oil paint will be introduced in the third semester. Oil Painting takes the techniques learned in both pencil drawing and watercolor to create more detailed and controlled artworks. This step will really showcase your child’s abilities. To register your child for art lessons or for more information, call Sandi Starnes at 423-585-5936 or Rose Center at 423-581-4330. Click here to return to calendar

As a former contestant on NBC’s “The biggest Loser” (Season 2), Ryan Smith-Kelley certainly knows what it feels like to struggle with her weight (she has lost almost 100 pounds). Following the show, she was crowned Mrs. TN United States 2006 and competed in the Mrs. United States pageant. While she was excited to be part of such a prestigious event, she found that it only added to her already existing insecurities about her body and weight. It was not long after that period that she began to resort back to some of her former ways. Because of this, she knew that she was going to have to find something different and out-of-the-ordinary if she planned to stay conditioned and in shape. She began to seek out new ways to exercise other than the traditional gym experience that had grown monotonous for her. That’s when she was introduced to a new exercise craze called Zumba - a high-energy Latin dance aerobic class that required no previous dance training. Before long, the enjoyment she found in her experience began to carry over into her conversations with friends. When she realized that not many people had heard about it, but wanted to participate, she decided to obtain her Zumba instructor’s license.

People of all ages can learn the slow, gentle, continuous movements of Taoist Tai Chi, and it can be adapted to match any level of ability. Taoist Tai Chi (taijiquan) is a centuries old exercise that promotes health and reverses the effects of ageing. While most of us think of tai chi as an exercise for able-bodied adults, the benefits to those with health challenges are substantial. Physicians studying this ancient art have reported improved balance, stronger bones and lowered blood pressure. It helps a wide range of chronic ailments, and in some cases improves short-term memory, sleep habits, and reduces stress. Those suffering from debilitating disease and injury receive great benefit. The Society’s purpose is to make Taoist Tai Chi available to all, to promote its health benefits, to practice charity, and promote cultural exchange. All of the Society’s instructors are accredited volunteers who donate their services.

10 August 2010 New Sections Of Zumba Fitness Class Time: 10:00am - The Zumba® program fuses hypnotic Latin rhythms and easy-to-follow moves to create a one-of-a-kind fitness program that will blow you away. The goal is simple: To inspire you to want to work out, to love working out, to get hooked. The routines feature interval training sessions where fast and slow rhythms and resistance training are combined to tone and sculpt your body while burning fat. Add some Latin flavor and international zest into the mix and you've got a Zumba® class! Ryan Kelley is adding new morning Zumba classes at Rose Center on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 10:00 A.M. beginning on July 6. Classes are continuing on Thursday evenings at 6:00 P.M. and 8:00 P.M. The cost is discounted to $75 for 10 classes if you pre-register with payment by July 2. Walk-ins will be welcome at a fee of $10 per class. Bring two friends and your class is free! Students may attend any of the classes. As a former contestant on NBC’s “The biggest Loser” (Season 2), Ryan Smith-Kelley certainly knows what it feels like to struggle with her weight (she has lost almost 100 pounds). Following the show, she was crowned Mrs. TN United States 2006 and competed in the Mrs. United States pageant. While she was excited to be part of such a prestigious event, she found that it only added to her already existing insecurities about her body and weight. It was not long after that period that she began to resort back to some of her former ways. Because of this, she knew that she was going to have to find something different and out-of-the-ordinary if she planned to stay conditioned and in shape. She began to seek out new ways to exercise other than the traditional gym experience that had grown monotonous for her. That’s when she was introduced to a new exercise craze called Zumba - a high-energy Latin dance aerobic class that required no previous dance training. Before long, the enjoyment she found in her experience began to carry over into her conversations with friends. When she realized that not many people had heard about it, but wanted to participate, she decided to obtain her Zumba instructor’s license. That then encouraged her to go even further and obtain her personal trainer’s license with Aerobics and Fitness Association of America (AFAA), as well as her CPR and Automated External Defibrillator (AED) certifications. She now hopes that her love and passion for genuinely having a good time while exercising will be a contagious experience for her community. To pre-register or reserve your spot for any of these classes or personal training sessions, call Rose Center at 423-581-4330 or Ryan Kelley at 423-523-2303 or email her at kelleyryan78@hotmail.com.

10 August 2010 Art Classes For Children Time: 4:00pm - 6:00pm Location: Rose Center Sandi Starnes is continuing her series of in-depth art classes for children at Rose Center. The series consists of three semesters with each focusing on a different medium including pencil drawing, watercolor, and oil painting. The classes will meet from 4:00 to 6:00 P.M. for eight weeks. This gives your child 16 concentrated hours in one medium. The next semester will begin on Tuesday, July 13, 2010. Each child must begin in pencil drawing. The classes are open to children between the ages of 7 and 12 who have an interest in art. Each session is $20 (two hours). The 8-week semester cost is $160, which is due in full at the beginning of the semester. The class size will be no more than 10 students allowing for plenty of one-on-one attention for each child. A supply list of necessary materials for each semester will be available to pick-up at Rose Center. The pencil drawing section will introduce a person to the basics of art and design: drawing shapes, objects, creating shadows, and full compositions. Your child will begin with simple images and progress to detailed compositions. Learning the elements of design (line, shape, mass, color, space, texture, and pattern) will help each child develop the ability to recognize how to execute a drawing. During the second semester watercolor will be taught. Watercolor is a very forgiving medium that teaches the use of color and mixing color. In this class your child will learn the basics of color and its uses by applying the knowledge directly into their artwork. Oil paint will be introduced in the third semester. Oil Painting takes the techniques learned in both pencil drawing and watercolor to create more detailed and controlled artworks. This step will really showcase your child’s abilities. To register your child for art lessons or for more information, call Sandi Starnes at 423-585-5936 or Rose Center at 423-581-4330. Click here to return to calendar

23 August 2010 New Tai Chi Classes Time: 6:00pm - 7:30pm Location: Rose Center The Taoist Tai Chi Society of Tennessee is offering three new beginner classes at the Rose Center in Morristown starting in June. Beginning Tai Chi classes will meet on Mondays from 6:00 to 7:30 P.M. beginning June 7; Wednesdays from 9:00 to 10:30 A.M. beginning June 2; and Thursdays from 6:00 to 7:30 P.M. beginning June 3. The courses will each continue to meet every week until the entire set of 108 tai chi moves is learned, usually about four months. New students may join at any time. A Continuing Class is held on Saturday mornings from 9:00 A.M. to 10:30 A.M. for those who have completed a beginning class. Members of the Society pay a one-time $20 registration fee and a monthly donation of $30, $20 for seniors or $50 for families. The exercises can be performed in any comfortable clothing. Shoes that offer good support and balance, such as comfortable walking shoes or sneakers are required, but there are no special uniforms. People of all ages can learn the slow, gentle, continuous movements of Taoist Tai Chi, and it can be adapted to match any level of ability. Taoist Tai Chi (taijiquan) is a centuries old exercise that promotes health and reverses the effects of ageing. While most of us think of tai chi as an exercise for able-bodied adults, the benefits to those with health challenges are substantial. Physicians studying this ancient art have reported improved balance, stronger bones and lowered blood pressure. It helps a wide range of chronic ailments, and in some cases improves short-term memory, sleep habits, and reduces stress. Those suffering from debilitating disease and injury receive great benefit. The Society’s purpose is to make Taoist Tai Chi available to all, to promote its health benefits, to practice charity, and promote cultural exchange. All of the Society’s instructors are accredited volunteers who donate their services. To learn more about the Society call 318-0889 (Morristown), 865-482-7761 (Oak Ridge), 865-577-1665 (Knoxville) or visit www.ttcs.org.

24 August 2010 New Sections Of Zumba Fitness Class Time: 10:00am - The Zumba® program fuses hypnotic Latin rhythms and easy-to-follow moves to create a one-of-a-kind fitness program that will blow you away. The goal is simple: To inspire you to want to work out, to love working out, to get hooked. The routines feature interval training sessions where fast and slow rhythms and resistance training are combined to tone and sculpt your body while burning fat. Add some Latin flavor and international zest into the mix and you've got a Zumba® class! Ryan Kelley is adding new morning Zumba classes at Rose Center on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 10:00 A.M. beginning on July 6. Classes are continuing on Thursday evenings at 6:00 P.M. and 8:00 P.M.

Students may attend any of the classes. As a former contestant on NBC’s “The biggest Loser” (Season 2), Ryan Smith-Kelley certainly knows what it feels like to struggle with her weight (she has lost almost 100 pounds). Following the show, she was crowned Mrs. TN United States 2006 and competed in the Mrs. United States pageant. While she was excited to be part of such a prestigious event, she found that it only added to her already existing insecurities about her body and weight. It was not long after that period that she began to resort back to some of her former ways. Because of this, she knew that she was going to have to find something different and out-of-the-ordinary if she planned to stay conditioned and in shape. She began to seek out new ways to exercise other than the traditional gym experience that had grown monotonous for her. That’s when she was introduced to a new exercise craze called Zumba - a high-energy Latin dance aerobic class that required no previous dance training. Before long, the enjoyment she found in her experience began to carry over into her conversations with friends. When she realized that not many people had heard about it, but wanted to participate, she decided to obtain her Zumba instructor’s license. That then encouraged her to go even further and obtain her personal trainer’s license with Aerobics and Fitness Association of America (AFAA), as well as her CPR and Automated External Defibrillator (AED) certifications. She now hopes that her love and passion for genuinely having a good time while exercising will be a contagious experience for her community. To pre-register or reserve your spot for any of these classes or personal training sessions, call Rose Center at 423-581-4330 or Ryan Kelley at 423-523-2303 or email her at kelleyryan78@hotmail.com.

24 August 2010 Art Classes For Children Time: 4:00pm - 6:00pm Location: Rose Center Sandi Starnes is continuing her series of in-depth art classes for children at Rose Center. The series consists of three semesters with each focusing on a different medium including pencil drawing, watercolor, and oil painting. The classes will meet from 4:00 to 6:00 P.M. for eight weeks. This gives your child 16 concentrated hours in one medium. The next semester will begin on Tuesday, July 13, 2010. Each child must begin in pencil drawing. The classes are open to children between the ages of 7 and 12 who have an interest in art. Each session is $20 (two hours). The 8-week semester cost is $160, which is due in full at the beginning of the semester. The class size will be no more than 10 students allowing for plenty of one-on-one attention for each child. A supply list of necessary materials for each semester will be available to pick-up at Rose Center. The pencil drawing section will introduce a person to the basics of art and design: drawing shapes, objects, creating shadows, and full compositions. Your child will begin with simple images and progress to detailed compositions. Learning the elements of design (line, shape, mass, color, space, texture, and pattern) will help each child develop the ability to recognize how to execute a drawing. During the second semester watercolor will be taught. Watercolor is a very forgiving medium that teaches the use of color and mixing color. In this class your child will learn the basics of color and its uses by applying the knowledge directly into their artwork. Oil paint will be introduced in the third semester. Oil Painting takes the techniques learned in both pencil drawing and watercolor to create more detailed and controlled artworks. This step will really showcase your child’s abilities. To register your child for art lessons or for more information, call Sandi Starnes at 423-585-5936 or Rose Center at 423-581-4330. Click here to return to calendar
