NYR STUDIOS EXTENDS OFFER FOR DISCOUNTED RATES; NEW CLASSES ANNOUNCED:
In the spirit of cultivating a large artistic community, NYR Studios has decided to extend its offer of discounted rates for its rehearsal studios through the month of October. NYR Studios recently transitioned to a new, arts-oriented management in an effort to create an artistic community in conjunction with its rehearsal spaces.
Many artists and organizations are already taking advantage of the friendly and accommodating environment NYR Studios offers. Kinesis Project dance theatre is the resident dance company, and has begun offering weekly classes at the NYR Studios facilities. These classes include: a Samurai Sword class, a Capoeira class, a Lindy class, a Lunchtime Yoga class, and a Latin dance workshop for beginners. All of the movement instruction offered through Kinesis Project are open and beginner friendly. Each class is a full-body experience aimed at staying fit, creative, and social.
The Samurai Sword Class, began on September 24th and takes place every Thursday from 6:00PM to 7:00PM. The price per class is $15 and is taught by Raab Rashi, a certified black-belt. The martial art, called “Siljun Dobup” (a.k.a. Real Sword Training) was developed by Grand Master Jin K. Seong and focuses on the drawing and sheathing of the blade, and making “the perfect cut.” The class is appropriate for teenagers and adults. Any interested parties are invited to attend a free introductory lesson.
