Emerald Coast Dancesport- Studio Dance Party

Studio Dance Party

March 11,2011

We have Studio Dance Parties at least 2 times each month.....not only are they so much fun...they are also an opportunity to meet and connect with people who have a similar hobby.

The environment is different than a private lesson and very different from a club. Although the lights are dimmed and there are alot more people, you also have the opportunity to practice with your instructors in a social setting. We play music representing all the dances we teach here, from Salsa to Tango.....from Swing to Waltz...and announce what your dance choices are as each is played....so it's still a teaching environment, but in a social setting...a stepping stone for some...a personal, private club for others.

We serve wine and beer, complimentary, in case you'd like to have a glass or two :)

What to wear: Anything from nice jeans and shirt/top to nice dress or slacks

Hours: 2 Fridays each month from 8 pm - 10 pm

How Much: $20/person or $30/couple at the door (If you attend the parties regularly, we also have a 5 party discount package available) ... The cover charge not only helps cover expenses, but also helps ensure quality attendees ... always a good thing. Only people that really want to be here are here...so the environment is positive and energetic and all contribute to a fun evening for everyone.

Passage | February 12th - April 10th, 2011

JENNIFER DIAZ

Photographer Jennifer Diaz presents her solo show “Passage” on February 12 - April 10, 2011.

“Passage” features a photo collection reflecting the artist’s view of the simple details in a complex world.

Jennifer Diaz’s exhibition focuses on the passage of time in relation to simple items often overlooked, due to life’s distractions. Her focus on minute details along with the method in which she chooses to frame her subject matter, gives her audience a micro and fragmented view. This leaves viewers wondering and imagining what makes up the rest of the scene. Jennifer’s work also shows us the beauty of change resulting from natural decomposition. Example pieces include: a water droplet falling from an aged faucet and an air conditioner slowly consumed by the progressive growth of petals and vines. The intrigue of Jennifer’s work lies in her perception of mundane and, some might say, unsightly objects. Jennifer says of her work, “I shine a light on natural beauty and detailed complexity that others may not be able to see.”

While Jennifer’s works are derived from her personal experiences of growing up in Miami, caring for her ailing grandfather, and most recently her travels as a member of the United States Air Force, they are also open to individual interpretation.

SHOTS FOR A GOOD CAUSE!

Less than a year after enlisting in the Air Force, Jennifer’s grandfather, Beni, passed away. Although challenged with Multiple Sclerosis (MS), Beni always laughed and joked as if the debilitating effects of MS did not exist. Not a day goes by where Jennifer isn’t thinking of Beni and his spirit of strength and humor. She continues to remember him through her photography. Every shot taken is an opportunity to help others challenged with MS. In memory of Benigno Q. Diaz, the artist’s profits are donated to the National MS Society, North Florida Chapter.

“IN THE LIGHT OF REVERENCE” - March 18th

HPCC Hosts PBS P.O.V. Film

“IN THE LIGHT OF REVERENCE”

The City of Fort Walton Beach Heritage Park and Cultural Center will host a screening of the P.B.S. documentary film “In the Light of Reverence” by filmmakers Christopher Mcleod and Malinda Maynor. This event will be held on Friday, March 18th at 6:30 PM inside the Indian Temple Mound Museum Lazarus Education Center during Downtown Art Walk in Fort Walton Beach.  It is free and open to the public. This event is in collaboration with P.O.V., a PBS’ award-winning nonfiction film series.  The screening is part of a free program of film screenings and artist discussions titled P.O.V. Film Screening and Event Series hosted by Heritage Park and Full Circle Art Gallery.

Film Synopsis: Devils Tower. The Four Corners. Mount Shasta. All places of extraordinary beauty — and impassioned controversy — as Indians and non-Indians struggle to co-exist with very different ideas about how the land should be used. For Native Americans, the land is sacred and akin to the world's greatest cathedrals. For others, the land should be used for industry and recreation. Narrated by Peter Coyote and Tantoo Cardinal (Metis), In the Light of Reverence is a beautifully rendered account of the struggles of the Lakota in the Black Hills, the Hopi in Arizona and the Wintu in California to protect their sacred sites. An Independent Television Service (ITVS) & Native American Public Telecommunications (NAPT) Co-presentation and a Television Race Initiative (TRI) Selection.

POV (a cinema term for "point of view") is television's longest-running showcase for independent non-fiction films. POV premieres 14-16 of the best, boldest and most innovative programs every year on PBS. Since 1988, POV has presented over 275 films to public television audiences across the country. POV films are known for their intimacy, their unforgettable storytelling and their timeliness, putting a human face on contemporary social issues.

Heritage Park & Cultural Center is located at 139 Miracle Strip Parkway SE.  Museum operating hours for the fall are 12:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, 10:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Saturday, and closed on Sunday. For further information please call 850-833-9595.
