Based on a classic French fairy tale about a beast who falls in love with a young woman trapped in his enchanted castle, Disney’s Beauty and the Beast is a captivating and colorful story filled with singing, dancing, zany characters, over-the-top costumes, dramatic moments, and heartwarming scenes. It’s guaranteed to be a great evening of entertainment that will enchant and amaze you.

Hoorah Starting in October

Laurie Farquhar

New dance classes in tap and jazz are returning to the Tuscany Falls Fitness Center.

PebbleCreek choreographer, Karyn Horst, is happy to be offering new tap classes for anyone who has never tapped before, or for anyone who wishes to brush the dust off of their old tap shoes from years ago and get back into tap.

Beginner jazz classes will be offered to those who love to move and want to increase their strength, flexibility, coordination, and endurance. Karyn uses upbeat music, along with fun movements that help relieve stress, ease blood pressure, and possibly provide some pain relief. The pattern work even helps keep the brain young.

These classes are a great way to meet new people, have fun, and get your feet happy!

Classes start:

Monday, Oct. 11: Tap class from noon to 12:45 p.m.

Wednesday, Oct. 13: Jazz class from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

For information and to sign up, call Karyn Horst at 623-535-0587. Class size will be limited.

COVID protocol will be kept in class with social distancing and the option to wear masks.

It feels so good to be singing together again! With new and returning members, we’re eager to present our annual holiday concert.

The chorus is waltzing into holiday music as Santa Claus comes to town singing carols among glowing candles. Our winter nights are barely winter, but what is sweeter music than holiday jingles? Holiday Fanfare takes to the stage Wednesday, Dec. 1 through Saturday, Dec. 4. The goal is to bring us into the holiday spirit with beautiful arrangements of great variety.

Opening day of ticket sales will be online on Monday, Nov. 1, beginning at 8 a.m. Mark your calendars for The PebbleCreek Singers’ Holiday Fanfare, under the direction of Jerry Drake.
