TREE PROBLEMS Learn about insects and diseases that affect our trees and about the most common problems people create by incorrect cultural practices. Learn to identify the problems and get suggestions on how to correct them.

TREE SELECTION AND PLANTING Planting incorrectly is one of the most common reasons for tree failure. Unfortunately, sometimes the problem isn’t evident for 10 or more years. Once you’ve chosen the perfect tree for your area, learn the correct way to plant (or what to look for when someone else plants) to ensure the tree’s long-term success.

BALLET – Beginner This class is for those who have always dreamed of learning ballet but have never had the chance. This unique class will give you the opportunity to enter the world of classical ballet for the first time and from the most basic level. No special clothing required, just come ready to move and dressed comfortably.

BARRE EXERCISE Barre is a fun and empowering class set to great music. The ballet barre is used to sculpt the lower body, abs and for flexibility training. In this class we will use full body exercises, light weights and other props. There are modifications and challenges for all levels.

FLAMENCO Class time will be spent learning basic steps, body positioning, and the flow of arm/hand movement. As class progresses, we will begin

working on percussive steps and brazeo (arms) and how to coordinate them into a short dance piece. Through a fiery Flamenco song list, we will keep our focus on dancing for fun while building our self-confidence and coordination. All levels are welcome to join. No partner needed!

TAP These classes are fun, challenging and guaranteed to make you feel like you had a great workout! The BEGINNER class is for those who have never tapped before or tapped when very young. The INTERMEDIATE class is for dancers who have tapped awhile and are ready for the next level of skill sets. If you have had tap recently or have been in our program for at least two years, the NEXT STEP class is the one for you. If you are unsure what level is best for you, feel free to speak with the instructor.

TAP ADVANCED MASTER’S CLASS If you are a serious tap dancer with six or more years of tap training and you want to be challenged, push yourself, learn some different tap choreography and have some great fun, then this is the class for you! Choreography learned will be anything from blues tap to rock to jazz tap and musical theater tap.

TAP DANCING DIVAS AGES 55+ Dancing has no age limit! Move your feet and make your spirits soar! BEGINNER is for those who have never tapped before but always wanted to or tapped way too many years ago to count. INTERMEDIATE is for those who have tapped recently and have had at least two years’ experience. For those who are serious, the ADVANCED class is the one for you. The choreography is low impact yet challenging.

BOISE DEPOTThe Boise Depot is a unique venue for weddings, parties, corporate and fundraising events. A beautiful historic Spanish-style structure, the Depot was opened in 1925 to elaborate fanfare in the capital city.

The Great Hall, a 3,542-square-foot space with a soaring multi-story atrium, once served as the building’s waiting room. The original 1925 Barkalow Brothers Newsstand has been slightly restored and is featured on the west wall. With a splendid panoramic view of the Boise Front, the grounds include Platt Gardens, a lovely park with pathways, a gazebo and ponds.

The Great Hall may be reserved 365 days in advance. Maximum occupancy is 300 or 165 for sit-down events.
