l ú n a s aThursday, March 228:00 p.m.Arts & EventsNamed for an ancient Celtic harvest festival in honor of the Irish god Lugh, patron of the arts, Lúnasa is a gathering ofsome of the top musical talents in Ireland. Its members have formed the backbone of some of the greatest Irish groups ofthe decade. This evening of traditional Celtic music is one of the highlights every year in our season.Damian’s note: How could I NOT bring back one of the world’s best groups? Year after year they sell out, so don’t missthis opportunity to see Lúnasa; especially if you have not yet been to one of their concerts.“Grace Kelly plays with intelligence, witand feeling. She has a great amount ofnatural ability and the ability to adaptthat is the hallmark of a first-class jazzmusician.” Wynton MarsalisNot to be confused with the famousPhiladelphia-born actress who becamePrincess Grace, this Grace Kelly isa straight-ahead jazz saxophonist/singer/composer/arranger who hadseveral albums in her catalog beforeshe was 17. People seem to be dividedinto two groups when it comes to thisamazing young talent: those whomarvel at her proficiency, creativity andever-accelerating growth, and thosewho have yet to encounter the 18-yearoldwunderkind. She has alreadycollaborated with Jazz stars Phil Woods,Dave Brubeck, Wynton Marsalis, HarryConnick, Jr., Esperanza Spalding,Christian Scott, Jamie Cullum, and DeeDee Bridgewater and will bring her ownband to the CenterStage.GraceKellySaturday, March 318:00 p.m.Damian’s note: Grace will simplyblow you away with her talent, soul andpersonality.On-line registration begins on December 15 at www.restoncommunitycenter.com. 17


Arts & EventsWHITE LIKE ME: A Honky Dory Puppet ShowCreated and performed by Paul ZaloomWednesday, April 11, 8:00 p.m.Renowned puppeteer and political satirist Paul Zaloom unleasheshis latest solo comic puppet extravaganza at the CenterStage. Theevening will consist of two parts:In Adventures of White-Man, Zaloom employs the old school,drawing room medium of toy theatre to tell the story of thearchetypical “white man” and his universe. We see White-Manleave his planet Caucazoid, travel through space, discoverand “civilize” the earth (populated with aliens), become aphilanthropist and savior, and finally, get really scared and angryas hell about his approaching minority status.Just Another Other is a dangerous and combative dialog betweenZaloom and a ventriloquist dummy. Zaloom bought the puppetsight-unseen on eBay, the box has just arrived, and the puppeteerunpacks the dummy in front of the audience. Since he’s been instorage for 60 years, the dummy will be brought up-to-date byZaloom on what’s been going on in the intervening years: theInternet, medical marijuana, face transplants, gay marriage,and, in particular, a black president. The dummy will flip out,particularly about the latter, as he turns out to be an unapologeticracist.Damian’s note: Paul Zaloom is one of the most importantperformance artists in the country and I am pleased that I canbring his satirical work back to the CenterStage.This is an evening of adult language, themes and material.Featuring Zoë KeatingAn Evening ofSarah LipstateNew MusicLow End String QuartetSaturday, April 148:00 p.m.18Zoë Keating is a one-woman orchestra.She uses a cello and a foot-controlledlaptop to record layer upon layer of cello,creating intricate, haunting and compellingmusic. Handling the electric guitar as hermuse, Sarah Lipstate summons a sonicpalette so rich as to challenge the listenerto conceive of how it’s housed in a singleinstrument manipulated by a solitaryperformer. The Low End String Quartet is are-imagining of the classical string quartet.The instrumentation differs, adding a bass,dropping a violin, and swapping in anelectric guitar for the viola.Damian’s note: In one evening, these three artists will create what I believe willbe one of the highlight concerts, not just of our series, but anywhere. I’ve entitledthis An Evening of New Music due to the contemporary nature of the work. It isalso an appropriate title because Sarah and Zoë will compose original music forthe Low End String Quartet, a local group I’m excited to share with you.For more information, call 703-476-4500.Photo by: Jeffrey Rusch

Parents of Swim Level 1, Swim Level 2, Rookies,and Skippers classes are highly encouraged to attend a free 1-hour orientation designed to teach parents howto provide guidance, care, supervision, motivation, and support as their children participate in our swim lessonsprogram. Parents are reminded that after the first day of class, they are requested to observe their swimmer’s class fromthe pool overlook. It cannot be over-emphasized that participation in any swim lesson program will not “drown-proof”your child. It is only the first step in developing your child’s water safety and swimming skills. Year-round practice, regularexposure to water and positive encouragement are the tools needed for developing your child’s comfort level in water andimproving their abilities.AquaticsInfant/Kindergarten Class RequirementsCLASS AGES PREREQUISITES: EQUIVALENT LEVELWATERINTRO.AQUA TOTSSKIPPER ISKIPPER IIROOKIE IROOKIE IIRANGERMARLIN6–18 months19-36 months3 year olds3 year olds4–5 years4–5 years4–7 years4–7 yearsNo swimming skills required.Parent/caregiver must accompany child in the water.No swimming skills required.Parent/caregiver must accompany child in the water.No swimming skills required.Comfortable with an instructor.Able to follow simple directions.Enter and exit water independently.Put face in water and blow at same time.Float on back and front with assistance.Glide on front and back two body lengths with assistance.Swim on front and back three body lengths with assistance.No swimming skills required.Able to follow simple instructions.Enter and exit water independently.Put face in water and blow at same time.Float on back and front with assistance.Glide on front and back two body lengths with assistance.Swim on front and back three body lengths with assistance.Step from side into chest deep water, move into a front float for5 seconds, roll to back, float for 5 seconds, return to a standingposition.Push off and swim using combined arm and leg actions on front for 5body lengths, roll to back, float for 15 seconds, swim using combinedarm and leg actions on back for 5 body lengths.Jump into deep water from the side, swim front for15 yards, maintain position by treading or floatingFor 30 seconds and swim elementary back stroke for 15 yards.N/AN/AN/AN/AN/AN/ASwim Level 3Swim Level 4WATERWONDER4–7 yearsPerform a feet-first entry into deep water, swim front crawl for25 yards, change position and direction and swim elementarybackstroke for 25 yards.

AquaticsYouth Learn to SwimThe goal of the Reston Community Center’s Learn to Swim <strong>Program</strong> is to prepare participants for a lifetime of waterpleasure and to promote water safety. All lessons are taught by the Aquatics staff of the Reston Community Center. Eachinstructor has been trained and certified by a national agency. If the class level you want is not available at a convenienttime, please ask to be put on the Interest List. When possible, classes are created to meet special time and day requests.If you are unsure of class placement, a water test can be arranged by calling the Aquatics Department at 703-390-6150.Parents of Swim Level 1, Swim Level 2, Rookies, and Skippers classes are highly encouraged to attend a free 1-hourorientation designed to teach parents how to provide guidance, care, supervision, motivation, and support astheir children participate in our swim lessons program. Parents are reminded that after the first day of class, they arerequested to observe their swimmer’s class from the pool overlook. It cannot be over-emphasized that participation inany swim lesson program will not “drown-proof” your child. It is only the first step in developing your child’s water safetyand swimming skills. Year-round practice, regular exposure to water and positive encouragement are the tools needed fordeveloping your child’s comfort level in water and improving their abilities.Youth Class RequirementsCLASSES AGES PREREQUISITES:Swim Level 1/2 6-9 year olds No swimming skills required.Swim Level 1/2 10-12 year olds No swimming skills required.Swim Level 3Swim Level 46-12 year olds6-12 year oldsStep from side into chest-deep water, move into a front float for 5 seconds, roll toback, float for 5 seconds then return to standing.Move into a back float for 5 seconds, roll to front then recover to standing.Push off and swim using combined arm and leg actions on front for 5 body lengths,roll to back, float for 15 seconds, roll to front and continue swimming for 5 bodylengths.Jump into deep water from the side, swim front crawl for 15 yards, maintain positionby treading or floating for 30 seconds and swim elementary back stroke for 15 yards.Swim Level 56-12 year oldsPerform a feet-first entry into deep water, swim front crawl for 25 yards, changeposition and direction and swim elementary backstroke for 25 yards.

Assistive devices such as these can make a huge difference in the independenceof an older adult or person with a disability. Something as simple as adaptive silverware and platescan allow a person to eat independently instead of needing assistance from an attendant or caregiver.Housing design can also help people remain independent.
