Trails Cultural Arts Center FAQ's
What should my child wear to dance class?
Your child should wear loose, comfortable clothing that allows for free movement without causing a tripping hazard. Tap classes and Sampler classes need Tap shoes; ballet and Sampler classes need ballet slippers, and all other youth dance classes need tennis shoes. We do sell ballet and tap shoes at the Trails Recreation Center.
What adult dance classes do you offer?
We offer Ballet, Burlesque Meets Broadway, Belly Dancing, Heels, Line Dancing, and Dance Workshops for adults.
When can my child start taking a cooking class?
Cooking classes begin at age 9 because students need to be able to see above a pot sitting on a hot stove, and students will learn knife skills. We do not allow younger students in our cooking class. However, we do offer Cooking and Crafting, which is for students as young as age 5. This class does not use an oven or sharp knives.
Do you offer art supplies for classes, or should participants bring their own?
We do supply our art classes with different materials. The exception is our pottery class, where adult students need to buy a bag of clay as well as the firing fee, which is sold separately. If you fire your items in your own home kiln, you do not need to purchase the firing fee. This fee covers every piece of art you can create with your 25 lb. bag of clay.
Are there opportunities for local artists to showcase their work at the recreation center?
Currently there are not any opportunities, though we hope to expand this in the future.
Are there cultural arts programs specifically designed for individuals with disabilities?
We are happy to accommodate any individuals with disabilities. Please contact Paige Rogers at [email protected] or (303) 269-8402.
