Leap, Glide, and Stomp Through Winter Fun – Morning Mini-Movers Arctic Animals

Bundle up for a frosty fun adventure in Morning Mini Movers: Arctic Animals! In this playful winter mini-mester, dancers aged 3–5 will leap like Arctic hares, glide like penguins, and stomp like snow-covered polar bears as they explore dance through an imaginative, snow-themed experience. Each class helps young movers develop coordination, rhythm, focus, and creativity while building confidence in a classroom setting. Along the way, they’ll practice social skills, teamwork, and independence—laying a strong foundation for future dance classes, sports, and all kinds of movement activities.

Native shrubs and perennials are a vital component of healthy streams and lakes. They help prevent erosion, filter pollution from runoff, and provide food and shelter for wildlife. MountainTrue staff and volunteers spend significant time and resources removing nonnative invasive plants along streams and lake shorelines to protect water quality and ensure that the native vegetation stays healthy.

Plants that are found here inspire a “sense of place” and pride in our mountain communities and promote wise stewardship and conservation of natural resources.

Music Theory for Singers: Read, Hear & Sing with Confidence

Strengthen your skills as a singer by learning the fundamentals of music theory and notation in this supportive, hands-on workshop led by Cary Fridley. Designed for singers ages 15 and up, this class focuses on ear training, sight-singing, and understanding traditional sheet music. You’ll learn to recognize and sing intervals like thirds, fourths, and fifths, follow choral scores with confidence, and connect what you see on the page to what you sing.
Tuesdays from 1:00–2:00 PM | Feb. 17–March 10 | Tuition: $8

This class is part of the Watauga Arts Council's "Fundamentals Week," the second week of each month (Feb-Oct), which features art classes that teach the basics of various media.

In this session, students will learn how to create the illusion of depth using one-point perspective with local artist and instructor Jeanine Hasty!

The Greenville Jazz Collective Jazz Underground series presents trumpeter and vocalist extraordinaire Justin Ray with a quartet performing “A Jazz Underground Sampler”, featuring in one concert the breadth of jazz you might hear in an entire season…standards, premieres of original music, beautiful ballads, and high-energy romps. Plus a few surprises!

Justin Ray builds on the legacy of Chet Baker (not to speak of Louis Armstrong) known for both their jazz instrumentals and vocals. On top of that, Justin is an educator, composer, and arranger. In addition to touring with Michael Buble’s band on trumpet, he also worked for him writing and arranging.

So he’s bringing 20 years of high-profile performance experience to our great listening room in the Coffee Underground March 10 at 7p
