Belly Dance Class Lakes Area Recreation Auxiliary Room
Instructor: Jeana Rolseth
Raqs Sharqi, also known as belly dance, is an age old dance with
a history as rich as it is diverse and widely misunderstood.
Using natural movements, belly dance is an excellent low impact
work-out. Jeana has been studying this dance form for many
years, and is a solo dancer, a member of Alexandria‟s Ziva
Gypsies, and St. Cloud‟s Noctua Belly Dancers. Classes are for
ladies ages 16 and up.
Beginner Basics & Beyond: Monday evenings are structured
towards ladies curious about the dance, as well as ladies wanting
to brush up on basic moves. Each night will provide something
new including the following: Dance 101 for belly dance,
Beginner Basics & Beyond, Shimmies & Undulations Level 1,
and Traveling & Veil dancing.
Isolations & Combinations: Step it up with belly dance
isolation drills, combinations, and layering. These classes will
lead you into the intricate beauty of belly dance with easy to
understand instruction for some of the most popular intermediate
to advance dance moves. (Upper & Lower Isolations, Shimmies
& Undulations Level 2, and Layers & Progressions)

Dog Obedience Training Classes Sponsored by Lakes Area Recreation
Lakes Area Recreation Gym
Lifetime learning experiences are as
important for the canine family
members as for the human members.
Three experienced volunteers provide some of this
continuing education for the canine family members
(and their owner/trainers) by conducting a series of dog
obedience training classes. Each series of classes runs
for six consecutive weeks, and each weekly session has
a separate kindergarten class for puppies and another
class for adult dogs. Only “gentle and reward” training
methods are used.
The curriculum will include socialization, basic
obedience, and when appropriate, behavior problems
will be addressed. The final fifteen minutes of the hour-
long classes include a “recess” period, during which the
dogs and the trainers will develop confidence by having
fun on the agility course, consisting of hurdles, ramps,
tunnels, and a teeter-totter.

Preparing to Volunteer With Dogs
LAR Auxiliary Gym Instructor: Holly Bushard
If you love people and have a friendly and
confident dog, therapy dog work might be
right for you! Therapy dogs visit people in a
variety of settings such as nursing homes, schools, and
hospitals. The goal of the team is to bring comfort and joy
to animal lovers who are separated from their pets. This
class is designed to help owners decide if their dogs are
appropriate for volunteering and to give them the skills
needed to make sure that their visits are safe and rewarding.
Basic obedience skills and a gentle dog are all that you
need to get started. We will practice the obedience skills
that are needed to volunteer and talk about the various
therapy dog organizations that participants can test with
and join. Volunteering with your dog can be one of the
most rewarding things you can do together.

Rally Dog Obedience
LAR Auxiliary Gym Instructor: Holly Bushard
If you love training your dog and have
already accomplished basic pet manners,
Rally Obedience is the class for you! Rally obedience picks up
where basic obedience leaves off. Rally obedience takes teams
through a constructed course of obedience moves such as sitting,
laying down, turning, and halting. No experience is necessary!
This class will be informal and fun and is intended for people
who have never tried anything like this before. All that is
required is a sense of humor and a love of dogs. By the end of
the class, dogs will be more focused on their handlers, better on
a leash, and able to perform a wide series of commands.
Training for rally obedience requires very little space, making it
an ideal hobby for keeping you and your dog challenged and
engaged through the upcoming winter months. If you have any
questions, please call Holly at 320-491-3671.
Equipment required: A dog, a collar, and a leash!

A note about your child‟s class placement: Please understand that all children acquire skills at different rates. Age is often a
convenient marker used to understand and measure motor skill development, however an increase in age does not automatically
result in improvement or acquisition of a skill. Differences in body size, knowledge, skills, learning styles, personalities, and
experiences all affect individual skill development. It should be expected a child will repeat any given level several times
before fully mastering all skills required at that level.
2012 Swim Lesson Information - Dates
and Times on Page 11 - Page 15!
The swim lessons offered through Lakes Area Recreation are designed to teach participants lifelong swimming skills and
provide training in basic water safety and how to help a swimmer in distress. In
addition to the skills outlined under each level, swim lesson courses are intended to provide a positive learning experience so participants can feel comfortable and enjoy
the water safely.
Because our courses are progressive, with each level building on the skills
previously learned, the prerequisite for each level is the successful demonstration of
the skills from the preceding level, with the exception of Beginner 1. To ensure participants are placed in the appropriate swim level, the first day of lessons is for
skill level assessment. Participants will be expected to successfully demonstrate all
of the completion requirements for the previous level before being able to continue on in the level they are enrolled in.
Participants will be transferred up or down a level that is more appropriate and better suited to meet their skill level and needs if the prerequisite skills are not met the first
day of class. Please try to place your child in the appropriate level! Lakes Area
Recreation does keep track year to year - if you are unsure of your child‟s placement, please call the LAR office and speak with the Aquatics Director.
Swim Lesson Policies: There are no make up lessons.
Minimum enrollment for each class is four students. Classes may be
cancelled or combined due to low enrollment. Lakes Area Recreation
reserves the right to make program and schedule changes, or to cancel a
class with an insufficient amount of participants registered.
All fees are nonrefundable except in the case of illness documented by a
physician or cancellation by Lakes Area Recreation. A transaction fee of
$2 will be assessed for transfers to other sessions or class times that
are not the result of a decision made by Lakes Area Recreation staff.
Parents are not allowed on the pool deck at any time during the course of
lessons – the Aquatic Manager and instructors are available before and after classes for questions and comments.

Softball practice sessions begin the week of June 11th. Games will start the week of June 18th. League playoffs
will finish the week of Aug. 2nd. Teams and schedules will be posted on-line after the June 6th coaches meeting.
It is the philosophy of the softball program to provide the participant an opportunity to play on a regular basis.
Through game situations the players gain experience, knowledge, techniques, and sportsmanship. It is not the
program's intent to provide individual instruction. (5th & 6th grade girls - All games are played under the
traditional “Fastpitch” format with some modified rules. Pitchers will be pitching to batters and the games are intended to be a
moderate competitive experience with the opportunity to have fun and learn softball fundamentals.) Registrations must be
completed no later than May 18th. T-shirts and hats included. Additional $20 fee after May 18th.
Schedules will be posted in
all schools prior to the last
day of school. Schedules
will be available at the
Recreation office after
June 1st or at the playing
fields starting the week of
June 11th. Playing dates
subject to change based on
number of participants registered by June 1st.

Instructor: Reggie Ronning
(Bethel University Student)
After playing tennis for Alexandria as a
two year varsity captain and graduating
from JSHS, Reggie continued pursing
his tennis career at Bethel University.
Reggie will be a senior at Bethel in the fall of 2012. He
has dedicated many hours to teaching individual and group
lessons to younger athletes.
Reggie states: “Tennis is a life-long sport that can be
enjoyed by all ages, especially youth. The main focus of
this program will be learning the basic fundamentals of
tennis and having tons of fun in the process. The more that
I am around tennis, even at the college level, I believe that
enjoying this game is the best thing you can accomplish as
a player. I also agree that personal improvement of
individual skills is a vital aspect of enjoying tennis.”
