Martial arts are an ancient method of training your mind, body and spirit to act as one. Martial arts practitioners strive for harmony, but also learn effective and often devastating self-defense techniques. Children who get involved in martial arts reap many benefits in several areas of life. Most martial arts originated in Asia and include karate, kung fu, jiu jitsu, aikido, tae kwon do, judo and muay Thai.

Fitness: Fitness is a crucial element to all martial arts classes, especially where children are involved.

Dance Works offers many styles of dance in a positive family friendly atmosphere.

While providing a strong technical foundation is important to us, having fun & sharing our love of dance is key to our studio! This past June, in our annual recital, Dance Works celebrated “30 Years of Love”. And that is who we are! We have a lot of passion for dance and love sharing our knowledge of this beautiful art form with our students. We also have a tremendous amount of pas- sion for our students. We want to help them achieve their goals to become the dancer they desire to be. At Dance Works we have both competitive and recreational classes that are taught by the same staff. And we have a unique system where the teachers alternate classrooms which allow them to teach each student in the studio. We also have large viewing windows so parents can watch the progress of their child at any time. We believe in building a strong foundation for our students. Through the years our dancers have won many awards, scholarships and titles; however, it is their character both on and off the stage that we are most proud of. Over the years many of our dancers have gone on to dance professionally. Some of their credits include; New England Patriot Cheerleader, Legends In Concert, Britney Spears “Piece Of Me” Show, The Voice dancer, Dancing With Stars, in commercials and videos as well. Some of our other students have been on their college dance teams and some think of us when they dance on their wedding day. Dance can give a child so much more than the skills that are learned. Students gain self-confidence, determination, setting goals, counting on others and being counted on in return and respect. Dance is a place of self-expression and freedom. Many of our students have also made amazing friendships at dance. In a way it becomes a home away from home for many of our students. Our recreational classes are on our website as well as on- line registration.

The Many Health Benefits of Dancing

Dancing is becoming one of America’s favorite pastimes. There is even National Dance Day, which was started in 2010 to “encourage Americans to embrace dance as a fun and positive way to maintain health and fight obesity.” Dancing provides physical, psychological, and social benefits galore, so put on your dancing shoes and follow along.

Better balance, improved mooD: Many studies have found that dancing can improve balance, even in frail elderly people. Some have shown improvements in gait, walking speed, and reaction time, as well as cognitive and fine motor performance. Dance studies have included jazz, ballroom, tango, folk, and a series of slow, low-impact dance movements—though any kind of dancing would likely be beneficial. Interestingly, dancing may help people with Parkinson’s disease, which is characterized by rigid muscles, slowed movement, and impaired balance. Dancing may also be good for your mood. It has been shown to reduce depression, anxiety, and stress and boost self- esteem, body image, coping ability, and overall sense of well-being, with the benefits lasting over time. In one study, it even helped control “emotional eating” in obese women Punch Fitness club Whip City Tai Chi Classes who eat as a response to stress. 15 College Hwy., Unit C

DADDY’S HOME Tony Rubino and Gary Markstein YOUR Contract Bridge HOROSCOPE By Jaqueline Bigar

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Wednesday, Aug. 8, 2018: This year you might experience mood swings, fluctuating from extraordinarily happy to sad. Be glad that you can feel a range of emotions instead of being numb or frozen. If you are single, you might meet someone who could consider this unpre- dictable quality to be exciting and authentic. DUSTIN By Steve Kelley and Jeff Parker You will be appreciated for being yourself. If you are attached, your sweetie might find the seesaw ride you are on a bit intense, but he or she will adjust to your frequent changes of mood. Your sweetie also will be delighted by the way you reveal more and more of yourself. You can trust CANCER with your vulnerabilities.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH You might harbor some strong feelings. In fact, you might not even know SCARY GARY Mark Buford or recognize these feelings if you have a tendency toward suppression. You put your best foot forward, and others recognize your positive attitude. Tonight: A loved one wants to spend time with you. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH Speak your mind and be willing to hear opinions that might not be accept- able in some way. Go with the flow with an offer involving property and real estate. A potential partner or a loved one could make an offer that you might not want to decline. Crosswords Tonight: Stay close to home. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH Be aware of the costs of proceed- DOGS of C-KENNEL Mick and Mason Mastroianni ing as you have been. Be willing to say what you feel, but know that you can expect an over-the-top reaction from someone. A new beginning becomes possible when you fully assess the situation. Tonight: Expect to appease a key individual. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHHH The Moon in your sign allows greater give-and-take. You have a unique method of assessing a person and turning a situation around. You understand others bet- ter than most when you move away from your preoccupations and simply detach. Tonight: Honor your feelings. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) B.C. Mastroianni and Hart HHHH You sense once again that some- one might not be giving you the whole story. To find out what is going on, you might want to dig around some. What you hear might be only a small piece of the story. Honor a change of pace. Tonight: Be prepared to change gears quickly. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH You will want to have a discus- sion with someone you care a lot about. Know that this person might not be able to tolerate any fast changes; in fact, he or she tends to shut down when life seems to spin out of control. Tonight: Take a midweek break with your friends, if you can. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ONE BIG HAPPY Rick Detorie HHHHH Events catapult you into the limelight, which suits you at the moment. Someone might be somewhat reactive to all the attention being focused only on you, and could pull away. Understand the problems that this person could be dealing with. Tonight: Get in rare form. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH You could be at the top of your game and wanting to try a different approach. Your sense of well-being helps you brave any path. You are unusually for- tunate on this point. Knowing that you have a rabbit’s foot in your back pocket, act accordingly. Tonight: Feed your mind. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) ANDY CAPP Mahoney, Goldsmith and Garnett HHHH You could be a bit off-kilter, not knowing which way is best for you. Work toward a long-term project with the advice and help of a key associate. Together, you make a great team. Your ability to identify with others is heightened. Tonight: Be posi- tive when interacting with others. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH You could face a problem when dealing with a close friend or a partner whose mood changes with unusual fre- quency. Your method of dealing with this Cryptoquip person might need to change. Lecturing or scolding will not work. Tonight: Let the other party make the first move. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Your personality diminishes oth- ZACK HILL John Deering and John Newcombe ers’ resistance, but does not help you move a relationship to where you want it to be. Playing games, such as distancing yourself, won’t work. Be more forthright in your decisions. Share your process with a friend. Tonight: Accept your role. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHHH Your imagination is at its peak. It might be challenging or difficult to move a situation forward, as you could be dis- tracted by various thoughts. Reach out to someone who understands the situation better. Tonight: Hang out with a favorite person and do something spontaneous.
