Make sure you train and practice a lot! One and a half hour of dancing in a week may be not enough. Try to find place where you could train with your friends, go out to the salsa parties and find a moment in your busy day to go through at least the basic steps. Remember, even 10 or 15 minutes a day is always better than nothing! We encourage you to look for some nice salsa songs and try to discover fascinating salsa/mambo music. You'll find some tips in our Salsa Artists section.

Beginners (and advanced students for that matter) should establish a regular and consistent training schedule in order to learn techniques efficiently and not develop too many bad habits. In general, the more you train the faster you'll learn. Three times a week is a reasonable target for beginners to aspire to. Two times a week is OK, but learning is slower. Progress is very slow and bad habits become rampant at practice levels below two times per week.

Some people suggest taking this all in order. In real life, you pretty much HAVE to do them in order because if you can't hover, you can't take off or land without killing your helicopter or your spectators. In the sim you can do anything safely! Work on hovering, and when that gets frustrating, work on flying around. When that gets frustrating, work on hovering some more. Switch back and forth all you want, or just focus on one thing until you have it down.

Your apartment key will open the Music room, which is available on a first-come, first-served basis. The music Room is located in Building 2 (across from office). Sorry, non-Lyman people cannot get keys.

The benefits of karate practice are myriad. Physically it enhances strength, coordination, stamina, balance and flexibility. It is well documented that regular exercise can improve both the quality and longevity of your life and that it makes people feel happier and more alert. There is also evidence that exercise can help cognitive brain function. Everything that you do in your life becomes a bit easier because of your karate practice.

Individual providers' practices are usually open, but occasionally closed to new patients if the provider has so many patients that he or she cannot serve their needs in a timely way. A closed practice opens again when the provider has time to take more new patients.

A group of people practicing will naturally have a great level of energy that we tap into, but developing the discipline for your own personal practice will pay off in many ways. The key is to commit to doing something every day. Whatever you commit to must be something that you have no problem in doing. Even starting out with a few minutes each day will have significant benefits.

Try to eat at least two hours before your practice to allow time for your food to digest. If needed, a light snack is fine.

The Board will allow a reasonable period of time for the family to sell the practice, but no one other than a licensed dentist may continue to operate the practice in the interim or receive profits from it. The practice may NOT be controlled or managed by the family, nor may a dentist be hired to continue operating the practice until it is sold unless the dentist takes control of the entire practice and its profits. The office space and equipment may be leased for a pre-established fee.

The initial screen for the first three basic qualifications narrows the pool to 10,000.

Few people are 'naturals' at improv. It can be a complicated business -telling a story, acting out a scene, making up dialogue, making your scene partner look good, being funny- all at the same time. We practice much like you would for a sporting event. We work drills to practice basic improv skills like listening to each other, moving scenes forward, justifying, labeling things, etc.

I am sure no one went into as much research and effort the way Jenny and me did our Tai Chi music CD. Jenny Ly is a genius composer. She watched me do tai chi and then compose the music to the rhythm and energy behind the tai chi forms, then she and her musicians play the music as I perform my tai chi. We re-adjust and re align the music so that it is just right for tai chi. Most music are composed to capture people's mind or to relax people. Tai chi music should be different from the rest.

The difficulty of the music depends on the ability of the students in any given year. In general, we begin the year with "grade 3" music similar to what you played in junior high school. As the year progresses our goal is to perform at least one "grade 4" selection on the Spring Jazz Concert.
