Happy New Year! Our online classes are back for a six week Winter session. In case you are burnt out on zoom and schedules, we’re continuing our video tutorials from last spring. If you never got a chance to take some of our classes, take a look at our WilliamGrantStillAC page or follow our IGTV to catch up on everything we offered once we had to close up the art center physically and go virtual.

Our offerings for this season are a continuation of Drums and Percussion with Delton Davis, Keyboard with Kevin Goode, a new class, Vocals with Cydney Davis, African Martial Arts with Professor Jahsun Olufemi and Low impact workout with Byron Mapp. One class, Line Dancing with Nawili Gray will be offered every Friday at 11am on Zoom.
