  • Careers in Dance
    Careers Fact Sheet o o o o o o You are the future of dance! Careers Fact Sheet You are the future of dance! Careers Fact Sheet Careers in Dance ‘When I grow up I want to be a dancer! If I don’t dance I will die!’ Ever found yourself saying this? Now to the reality of the dance world! Unfortunately, dance is not like other subjects where hard work = dream job. It takes dedication, an open mind, flexibility, adaptability and a thick skin to survive the dance world. The information summarised in your talk should help give you a glimpse into the competitive industry of dance. What can you actually do? Few people are able to sustain a career doing one area, and variety is more stimulating and gives a sustainable income. Dancers live what we call a portfolio career. The top three things that an Artist will do is perform, choreograph and teach, but many do a combination of a variety of careers. Pathways How do we get from student to professional? There are infinite possibilities, and no set way.

  • A Boy, His Life, and Growing up in Glen Rock, New Jersey from 1945
    A Boy, His Life, And Growing Up In Glen Rock, New Jersey From 1945 to 1963 by David A. Lamken A compilation of breezy, not literary, e-mails written to the Class of 1963 over a twenty-one year period ending in 2018. Introduction – My childhood hometown is Glen Rock, New Jersey, and is situated 22 miles northwest of New York City’s Time Square. It covers 2.7 square miles and lies in the foothills of the Goffle Mountains. Glen Rock is home to a community of about 10,000 people (or at least it was when I resided there). The Borough of Glen Rock consists of a wonderful, two-block long downtown area with two other smaller shopping venues located at its outer borders, three elementary schools, a Catholic school, and a junior-senior high school. There were no school buses back then and everyone walked to school and no one seemed to mind. There are also parks, playgrounds, a wonderful brook, and even a community pool in which we all fully occupied ourselves. Although I have not lived there for the last 45 years, I have been writing my classmates and relating to them what I remember about my childhood experiences. In no discernable order, I have tried to recall the various youthful activities I was engaged in from my pre-school years through high school, and though most of the experiences I write about pertain only to me, they could just as well have happened to anyone my age who lived in Glen Rock during that same time period of 1945 to 1963.

  • Speaker Profiles 2018
    SPEAKER PROFILES 2018 Simon Bailey Simon became National Chaplain to Horse Racing in the U.K. in August 2014, continuing the work and partnership between Racing Welfare and Sports Chaplaincy UK. Before taking on the chaplaincy role, Simon was Pastor at Kilburn Christian Fellowship in North London, having previously filled pastoral and youth work posts in Arbroath, Scotland. Mental health in elite sport has been highlighted in recent years and especially in horse racing the demands of the sport can be pressurised throughout the year. Simon is married to Lesley and is the dad of two daughters, Sarah and Laura. Emma from Epsom Laughter Club Hi, my name is Emma. My first encounter with Laughter Yoga was when it was featured in an episode of BBC’s “Trust me, I’m a Doctor”. I was immediately intrigued by the positive effects of laughter. I loved the way laughter made me happy and lifted my moods - and the effect lasted for hours afterwards. I went on to train with a Laughter Yoga Ambassador - which was an euphoric experience - and am excited to bring Laughter Yoga to Epsom and the surrounding areas. I have a Doctorate in Chemistry from University of Oxford and previously worked in the biotechnology industry.
