This class will be a continuation of what was learned during beginning ASL. The student will take the vocabulary skills already learned and begin to use that in a more conversational way. While new vocabulary will be gained, our main focus will be on the ability to produce and understand full sentences. This course will have a portion each week where students won't voice and instead will only sign together. This allows for a more immersive experience and a better grasp of Deaf culture.

Join us as we journey into the art of reflexology. The theory behind this ancient practice is that areas of the hands, feet and ears correspond to organs and systems of the body. Some people believe that pressure applied to these areas positively affect a person's organs, benefits their health and reduces stress. In this class, you will learn how it works and the formulas for dynamic results. This class is designed to give instruction that will allow you to work on yourself, friends and family. It does not certify you as a reflexologist..
