1UP For Haiti – a video game tournament fundraiser for Haiti crisis relief
It's
been nearly a month since Haiti was devastated by a 7.0 magnitude
earthquake, taking the lives of over 100,000 and leaving 1.5 million
homeless. Nearly 97% of Port-au-Prince schools are destroyed and it's
been estimated that rebuilding the city may take decades. People are in
desperate need of aid, from all of us. Why not help out by doing
something competitive and fun, surrounded by awesome people?
Join
us at New Work City on Saturday, February 13th for a fundraiser for the
people of Haiti. We'll be playing Mario Kart in a tournament-style
face-off, and all buy-ins will go to Haiti relief efforts. There's a
suggested donation of $20 per person to enter. There will be more games
to play, as well as drinks, snacks, and great people. Bring your
friends and give what you can. Hope to see you there.

experience the pleasure of letting go. Biodanza movement encourages
you to express yourself freely. There is no choreography and no dance
experience is required. Come alone, with a friend, or significant
other to expand the love you have for yourself and others. Biodanza is
hugely popular on the west coast and in South America. Until now it has
rarely been offered in NYC. We are incredibly grateful to have

the award-winning CD “Congo’s Angels”- in remembrance and support of
our Congolese sisters and their plight, as we continue to engender hope
and faith for improvement of their current situation. Incite to

befitting the name she has dubbed her operation – Alkemydia Creative.
Her current focus is a unique brand of ‘action painting,’ an abstract
expressionist style that was popularized during the 60’s when combined
philosophies of quantum mechanics and psychoanalysis began creating new
ways of understanding through heightened self-consciousness and
awareness. www.alkemydia.i8.com and www.alkemydia137.blogspot.com.

Hoop School – Hooping Instruction/Hoop Sculpt/Hoop Story
An
exciting hoopdance series that will push you to learn WAY faster than
you could figure it out on your own. Each series will feature a guest
instructor for a day to pass on his or her best gems of "hoopocity".
Why struggle through months and years of frustrating trial and error
trying to decipher all the cool tricks by yourself like I did (and
many expert hoopers did) when you can take advantage of our collective
knowledge and experience, served to you on a silver platter? Hoosculpt
is a fun-conventional fitness class for beginners. No experience
necessary. Join us for a fun, funky, fabulous adventure into fitness
that will challenge your idea of "working out". Using only adult hoops
and your own body weight, we'll boost our stamina, core strength,
coordination, and flexibility. Hoop moves like jump-throughs and
revolving doors, partner up for circuit training, mix it up with games:
rainbow ring, hoop limbo, hoop chaser, hoopstacle course. And maybe
you'll learn a few fancy tricks in the process. This is not a dance
class; you will Sweat. Hoopstory: An affordable, weekly hoop jam for
those who prefer something loose and casual. Write your own story! No
rules, no teachers, no formal instruction. Learn from your friends and
peers. We provide great tunes and a nice space: centrally located,
climate controlled, sprung floors, full length mirrors & bathrooms.
You just show up with $6 and a hoop and play.
