Argentine Tango Practica - Argentine Tango Practica - Summer 2025 - Sergio RuizCordova
Join us to dance the most beautiful, elegant and sensual dance in the world, the Argentine Tango. Tango is drama, passion and romance; a dance of connection and dialogue between partners. Tango is not a series of memorized steps, nor a dance that merely promotes mechanical reactions; rather it is a dance of improvisation where both partners must listen to the music and, more importantly, listen to each other. Members of this group have been dancing the Argentine Tango for at least ten years and are happy to share their tango skills. FREE to the public.

TR Clay Club - TR Clay Club - Fall 2025
Join us the first Thursday of every month to make a clay project! We will be using low-fire clay and learning how to mold and shape it with the Clay Lady Method. Led by Robin Governo, we will make a project each month in September, October, and November and then have a gallery showing in December! You will be able to pick up all of your projects in December after the gallery showing, or you can take them home the month after you make them. $15 per personSeptember - Leaf imprints on clayOctober - Textured bowlsNovember - Christmas ornaments or cookie platesTR Program Vision:Our vision is to support all persons through inclusive recreation opportunities that meet the needs of physical activity, socialization, engagement, friendship-building, and education. We support the combined use of the ABA model and the sensory model for emotional regulation and behavior management. TR Program Culture:
We will offer tools for those who are sensory-seeking and sensory-avoidant to foster internal regulation.
We focus on supporting individuals to use their language and self-expression to share how they are feeling.
We train staff and volunteers/guests on specific ways to present themselves so as not to seem intimidating or scary to participants, such as encouraging them to sit on the floor or dress in casual clothing
We provide visual cues, simple instructions, modeling, extended time, and flexibility in programming to ensure everyone can participate at their level. We scale activities to meet the abilities and needs of our participants.
We give two choices and allow time to think through and respond.
We give eye contact as much as is feasible to participants to acknowledge their person/needs.
We will utilize social stories when feasible to foster positive engagement and appropriate responses.
We promote behaviors that are healthy and inclusive. We look at behaviors to communicate a want or a need. We look for this need and provide an alternative, more appropriate way for the individual to obtain what they are looking for.
We use positive reinforcement to reinforce actions that we want to continue. We use reinforcers to reward positive behaviors, such as time with a favorite toy or a break from the program.
We use de-escalation techniques – a calm voice, neutral body language, moving to a quiet space if possible – to communicate when times get stressful. If someone has a behavior that is increasing, we will look to call parents for support or for early release from the activity.
