Artists In Motion Bay Area invites you to its first enrichment class offering. We invited an enthusiastic registered dietitian from Kaiser Permanente named Kristin Wood to come to our dance school and talk with our young athletes about good nutrition. She comes highly recommended and is excited to share her knowledge about nutrition and how it can improve not just overall health but sports performance. Kristin, a former dancer herself, will be giving general advice as well as very specific counseling to help our competitive dancers know the right snacks, liquids, and food combinations to enhance strength and endurance. The crucial, nutritional information that Ms. Wood will share is not only beneficial to our dancers but vital for moms and dads to hear as well. Questions such as “Which brands? Which stores? How much? What quantities?” will be answered and pamphlets will be available. She even promised snacks for hungry dancers! We hope to see both students and parents at one of the following dates:

Friday, January 25, 2013 7:45-8:45 for ages 12 and under 

Saturday February, 2, 2013 3:30-4:30 for ages 13 and up 

Thank you to Julie Brosnan for coordinating this event.
