Class Descripton
Art Class
All art begins with a few skills; here’s a chance to build your student artist’s “tool-kit” and confidence with uncomplicated, contemporary projects based on classical techniques for life drawing, perspective, portraiture, animal studies, abstract
composition…and plenty of imagination! Media will range from conventional drawing and painting to collage, printmaking and “accidental art.” Each assignment is “stand-alone” and potentially ready to take home the same day, but the skills being taught lead to an accrual of art understanding and problem-solving skills if attendance is consistent.

Bollywood Dance Classes
The Term "Bollywood"
The term Bollywood was created by combining two names, Bombay (the city now called Mumbai) and Hollywood. Bollywood based in Mumbai (Bombay), is India’s – and the world’s - largest film industry in terms of the number of films produced, and also the number of tickets sold each year. In fact, Bollywood has become so internationally ubiquitous that it now has it’s own entry in the Oxford English Dictionary!
Bollywood dancing is a colourful, dynamic and highly theatrical dance style seen in Indian films. It combines classical forms of dance including traditional Indian, folk, salsa, belly-dance while also incorporating more contemporary western forms such as hip hop, jazz and funk. Having no set rules, Bollywood dancing is the perfect means to encourage freedom of expression.
Join our Bollywood team!
Neha Gupta, Owner of StillyArts will be hosting these classes every Thursday starting 31st August at 7:30pm. Class duration is 1 hour which includes step by step instruction of dance style and meaning of the bollywood songs to incorporate emotions with music.

Drama Classes
"Tell me and I will forget.
Show me and I will remember.
Involve me and I will understand."
Chinese Proverb
Dramatic Arts education is an important means of stimulating CREATIVITY IN PROBLEM SOLVING. It can CHALLENGE STUDENTS' PERCEPTIONS about their world and about themselves. Dramatic exploration can provide students with an outlet for emotions, thoughts, and dreams that they might not otherwise have means to express. A student can, if only for a few moments, BECOME ANOTHER, explore a new role, try out and experiment with various personal choices and solutions to very real problems-problems from their own life, or problems faced by characters in literature or historical figures.
In this Drama class, instructor is using a wide range of unique drama activities to focus the bold, outspoken child and to draw out the quiet child and help them reach into themselves to discover their full potential.
We will be using a progressive curriculum that allows students to have some serious fun, while also enabling them to develop:
Acting skills
Public speaking skills
Creative Thinking Skills
Leadership Skills
Networking and Social Skills
Self Confidence and Self-Esteem
A Positive Approach to Life
Instructor: Courtney Pilkington
Age: 8 and older
Class fee: $65/ month (4 sessions)
