A day of arts and culture.
1.) First stop - Yale University Art Gallery located at 1111 Chapel Street, New Haven. Park your car at the Chapel/York Garage and you are ready to go! The gallery is located across the cross walk from the garage.
This museum, founded in 1832, and more than 100,000 pieces in its permanent collection, is the oldest university art museum in the country. The gallery offers an excellent overview of art history, ranging from ancient to modern. There is an exquisite collection of American paintings, and an extensive display of 20th century European paintings. Classic objects from ancient Egypt and the Middle East, and treasures from the South Pacific and Far East are also on display. Guided tours, lectures, family programs and concerts are all ongoing.

Jimenez says Zumba is the best way to workout for people who don't like the gym. In addition to working out, Zumba helps raise students' endorphin levels. "Zumba helps make positive changes in people's lives," Jimenez says. "It makes you feel good. I like to give people their confidence back and make them love themselves... I know what it did for me, and I know what it can do for other people."
ReplyDeleteThere were about 25 students in my class, all of whom were women, with the exception of one man and one boy. They are pay attention to fitness .The class ranged in age, with some college-age students and some mothers there with their children. Most of the students were intermediate level. No one was above messing up the occasional move, but most in the class really knew what they were doing and looked the part in their official Zumba gear.http://www.zumbaslendertone.com/
