Are you looking for a positive, fun and safe outlet for your middle schooler? Louisiana's arts conservatory is offering dance auditions on Saturday, August 23rd. The students that are accepted get tuition-free dance lessons after school and/or on Saturdays. What an amazing opportunity. Here is the appropriate info for those interested:
• Come dressed in dance clothes (girls: black leotards, pink tights; boys: black tights, white T-shirt). Girls should bring pink ballet slippers. Boys should bring black ballet slippers. Those not appropriately dressed, will not be allowed to audition.
• You will be judged on your demonstration of the following skills: mental ability; energy within the classes; flexibility of back, legs and hip sockets; feet and foot articulation; musicality and phrasing; rhythmic accuracy; quick recall of combinations; presence and carriage; and ability to perform given combinations with style and grace. Since this program is not for basic beginners, you will be assessed on your acquired skills in all areas of dance and personal fitness for dance.
• Do not prepare choreography for this audition. You will take instructions from dance faculty.The NOCCA Institute 2800 Chartres Street New Orleans, LA 70117 504 940 2840 (t) 504 940 2870 (f)
Ogden Museum of Southern Art
This museum is definitely worth a visit. Current exhibitions include "Ed McGowin: Name Change (One Artist, Twelve Personas, Thirty-Five Years)"; "Art and Paradise: Self-Taught Art Selections from the Permanent Collections of Ed McGowin and Claudia DeMonte"; "Richard Sexton: Terra Incognita," works by the well-known New Orleans photographer; and "Letters From My Father: Photographs by David Rae Morris and Letters from Willie Morris- from 1976 through 1999."
Exhibits are staying put until December and it is also just $10 to get in!

Here are the best reasons of all:
Ida Kohlmeyer: Cityscape New Orleans
Ellsworth, Woodward: Cabildo Courtyard, 1935
Cafe Maspero
If all that art makes you hungry, head for the French Quarter. Cafe Maspero is a great local restaurant which boasts the biggest sandwiches in the Quarter. The prices are so low you'll be doing double takes until you decide upon a huge deli sandwich, including Muffulettas and roast beef with gravy. There are plenty of beers, wines and cocktails to choose from too, so there is no reason to end the party early!
Happy evening,
