"Club Swing" is a variation on the traditional rhythm that will allow new dancers to enjoy this fast and fun classic with ease. Traditionally, Hustle is danced in a syncopated timing to Disco music. However, these days with a little tweak to the timing, we can use this energetic dance for a wide variety of popular music This is an all levels class, so beginners are welcome--Join us! This class is appropriate for beginners. After the class, we'll have open dancing in all your favorite styles- heavy on the Hustle, of course- so you can practice what you've learned. (If you're new to this, never fear... your Dj and MC, Jen, will announce with each song which dance styles are appropriate and when you can use your new moves.) Your ticket gives you one entry into our event raffle for 2 private dance lessons at our boutique lessons studio in Pacific Beach, with the instructor of your choice. **Heads up! We don't rotate in our classes like most studios do. So, you're welcome to attend on your own, but you'll have more fun if you bring a partner. Thursday, October 9 7-9 p.m. Tickets $15/person.

"Disrupted Pathology" Joshua Almond Aug. 27 – Oct. 10, 2025 Through his wooden sculptures, studio furniture, and drawings, Joshua Almond examines cellular processes where normal patterns break down, exploring the visual poetry found in these moments of biological disruption. These profound transformations reveal tensions between order and chaos, growth and decay. Each piece investigates how dysfunction possesses its own beauty and logic, transforming microscopic phenomena into human-scaled encounters. The inclusion of functional furniture alongside sculptural works creates a further dialogue between utility and organic inspiration. Rather than clinical illustration, the works in this exhibition provoke a re-examination of the multitude of cells collectively responsible for our own unique shape, and the moments of crisis when life’s programming encounters beautiful errors and necessary failures.

Friday, November 21 at 11 a.m. Saturday, November 22 at 7:30 p.m. Anja Bihlmaier, conductor Steven Osborne, piano San Diego Symphony Orchestra OLLY WILSON: "Shango Memory" BEETHOVEN: Piano Concerto No. 4 in G Major, Op. 58 SIBELIUS: Symphony No. 1 in E minor, Op. 39 The power of music to suggest our deepest feelings of spiritual awe has been understood since ancient times. In this program, three composers write pieces which capture the human yearning for another level of experience. The late great African American composer Olly Wilson drew on his roots in jazz and the music of his African ancestors to suggest the terrifying power of Shango, the ancient Yoruba god of thunder and lightning. In the slow movement of his Fourth Piano Concerto, Beethoven calls to mind the Greek divinity Orpheus, who tamed wild beasts with the beauty of his music. Sibelius’ First Symphony plunges deep into the imaginary mystical mythology of prehistoric Finland.
