If you are interested in introspective movement, you will like this class. Feldenkrais Method is an educational system centered on movement, aiming to expand and refine the use of the self through awareness. You will often be lying down yet sometimes sitting, kneeling or standing. You will be outwardly moving the whole time, while simultaneously exploring a given inward focus. Some of the movement will feel familiar, but many may not. Yet there will be variations on the theme of familiar movements. You will also learn more about anatomy. Feldenkrais increases your awareness of yourself. Over the sessions you are likely to find that you are more relaxed, nagging pains are diminishing, you are feeling more limber and energetic, and that new options are opening up for you. Bring a bath towel to cover the County-supplied mats and if you desire, a small pillow. (You can take a one-day workshop on Feldenkrais. See more information on page xx.).

Attention Pool Lovers! Arlington County is proud to provide lessons that are based on the Red Cross Learn-to-Swim Program. When registering please make sure participants can complete all necessary prerequisites prior to beginning the class. Student who are not at the right level hinder the classes’ ability to function. Everyone progresses at different speeds, so it is typical to repeat courses. Public Health requires pools to close when contaminated. Swim diapers or snug-fitting plastic pants must be worn by anyone who is incontinent. Also please do not eat with 30 minutes of swimming. Children under nine years old must be accompanied by an adult at all times in the building. Children under five must have a guardian in the water with them when class is not in session. If the pool is open for public swim after class, children can swim up to 15 minutes but a guardian must be with them in the water at this time.

Pre-Fin

For beginners, this class requires no experience in the water, but children must leave parent willingly. Tots will become more comfortable in the water with an instructor and group of children. By the end of the course participants should be able to submerge face comfortably and float on the front and on the back without support. Inst: Staff Wakefield Pool.

Signing Smart strategies integrate more than 130 American Sign Language (ASL) signs into songs, games, and activities developed to engage very young children and their parents. Research has shown that Signing Smart with hearing babies and toddlers allows communication and spoken language to happen earlier and faster, while reducing frustration and tantrums. Most children have 2-3 words by 12 months, whereas, Signing Smart children typically have 25 signs and 16 words! Most children start combining words into 2 word sentences by 20 months, whereas Signing Smart children typically do this by 11-14 months and some as early as 6 months! NIH even found a 12-point IQ increase for eightyear-olds who used signs as young children. More research, class pictures and family quotes at www.ParentChildU.com.

Autumn Moon Vietnamese Children’s Festival   Vietnamese Cultural Society of Metropolitan Washington

Thomas Jefferson Center, Noon – 4pm www.vcsmw.org   

September 20

Speedy Tolliver Fiddle & Banjo Contest Madison Recreation Center, 3829 N. Stafford Street 11 – 12, Registration, Event: Noon – 4-ish www.arlingtonarts.org

Free

Come to play, or just to listen! Once again Arlington honors old time music master Speedy Tolliver with his very own event, in this, his 91st year. The event has become a tradition in Arlington, a tribute to Speedy's lifelong achievements and dedication to traditional music. A respected presence at any American roots music gathering, Speedy Tolliver is known for his versatility, having mastered various fiddle and banjo styles including old time, bluegrass, Dixieland and swing. In Speedy's book, anyone who plays music - master or novice - is "all right"; so in the spirit of the man, the Fest isn't really a contest at all, but rather a noncompetition that invites fiddlers and banjo players to perform in celebration of their love of the music.

Free

The annual Autumn Moon Children's Festival (Tê't Trung Thu) is an opportunity for everyone to learn about and celebrate the Vietnamese culture and heritage. The Festival is thousands of years old and is celebrated in many Far East Asian countries that once used the lunar calendar like Vietnam, China and Korea. The summer harvest was over by September (August in the lunar calendar) of each year. While harvesting, the adults were busy and left their children to play on their own. Once the harvest had been completed the adults celebrated by offering thanks to the gods for providing them a good harvest. The festival also made up for the lost time with their children, held under the full moon which falls on the 15th day of the 8th month in the lunar calendar, and was first held during the Han Dynasty under the emperor Wu Di around 156-87 B.C.
