Back by popular demand! Stand out from the crowd with a self taped audition! Learn how self taping auditions helped me go from booking 9 acting jobs in 2013 to booking 35 (and counting) jobs in 2015! This workshop will take place on Sunday, November 8th from 12pm - 3:30pm at the Houde School of Acting in Cleveland Heights. For more information (watch the video) and to register, please visit this website http://www.smallmarketactor.com/cleveland2015/ In a recent seminar hosted by the SAG Foundation, Pippa Harrison, head of casting at Spotlight, had this to say "More and more, you will get jobs based on auditions you've taped yourself. Even if you're the most techno-phobic person out there, you have to get really good at self taping." To learn how to get really good at self taping, come to the workshop on November 8th! http://www.smallmarketactor.com/cleveland2015/ -Kurt Yue

5 week, group, swing dance classes start this Monday and Tuesday, Nov 2nd & 3rd at the Brecksville Center for the Arts
by Valerie Salstrom via NEohioPAL 01 Nov '15

01 Nov '15

Lindy on Mondays from Nov 2-30 Beginner classes from 7-8 Intermediate classes from 8-9 Jitterbug on Tuesdays from Nov 3-Dec1 Beginner classes from 7-8 Intermediate classes from 8-9 $60 per person or $100 per couple. We make learning how to partner dance FUN! No need to sign up with a dance partner because we rotate partners in class. (This is not mandatory. If you would like to dance with only your partner you may do that.) Please dress comfortably and wear shoes that allow you to pivot easily. Lindy Hop began in the ballrooms of Harlem in the late 1920s/early 1930s. It is a conglomeration of dances that each group of immigrants brought over from their native lands put to what was the latest craze in music-Jazz! Lindy is often featured on TV shows like "So You Think You Can Dance" and "Dancing With The Stars.” Jitterbug is the easiest partnered dance you can do. It is also known as East Coast Swing or Swing. This is the dance that was done to big band swing and early rock and roll in the 1940s and 50s. Learning to swing dance is a great way to meet people and get some exercise too! Brecksville Center for the Arts 8997 Highland Drive Brecksville, Ohio 44141 www.brecksvillearts.org You may register and pay online or on the first day of class. Checks and cash are accepted the first day of class. Credit cards payments can only be made online. For more information please see www.GetHepSwing.com
