September 18th:
LA River Kayak Safari

What?
“LA River Kayak Safari offers the premier Los Angeles River paddling experience. We guide patrons on a journey through a naturalized section of the Los Angeles River that is resplendent with wildlife.   The Elysian Valley section of the river is not just your “Terminator” or car chase scene.  In Elysian Valley, otherwise known as Frogtown,  nature and urban life collide, giving a vision to future long term river restoration efforts.  LARKS tour guides are swift water rescue trained paddlers who guide you through this unique experience.  The tour includes lazy river sections, as well as modest (but fun) rapids and some challenging rock navigation.  Our guides are expert kayak instructors who get paddlers up to speed fast.  Basic level of fitness and good attitude will serve you well as you take this modern day expedition through the future parkland of Los Angeles.”

Where?
Elysian Valley, Central Los Angeles
They call it Frogtown.  It’s near Atwater Village and Silver Lake.

When?
Sunday, September 18th   3:30-7:30pm  Sunset Safari (the coolest!)

PS  Ballet shoes are a bit slippery in our dance room, so I recommend flat jazz shoes/jazz sneakers, or
rosin with your ballet shoes.

NOTE:  Dancers are free to express themselves and wear what they like, as long as it is dance wear.  Hair up, preferably.

DATE: 09/19/2015 ( Sat 3:00PM – 7:00PM PDT )
LOCATION: 2705 Barrymore/ Top of Solstice Canyon

Please give yourself 45minutes to an hour to arrive at 2:45pm for a 3:45pm showtime.  Please check-in at my sound table, stage right, and we will put your child in show groups and escort your child to the face painting area. The children will be warmed-up and face-painted pre-show.  You will relax and picnic in your seating area.  Please also set out your camping chairs and blankets in the audience area at this time. (no tents/shade provided)
Please tell your guests to arrive at 3:30pm for a 4pm showtime.  There is food and drink to enjoy before and during the show.
Please be mindful that this is a generously-donated private property.  There are neighbors, and there are winding roads to navigate.  These are things to keep in mind as we celebrate together.
Please bring cash or checks.  It is a remote area in Solstice Canyon, so we can not take credit cards, unfortunately.
Keep in mind the high costs of dance recitals.  Our Suggested Donation is only $15 per person/$10 children.  FOCUSfish is a 501c3 non-profit.
Parking will be easy if we all get there, follow directions from our parking attendant volunteers, and then all leave together.  Shuttle available for those who need it.  More info to follow…
Here are the directions that you need to use and that you need to share with your friends and family coming in different cars.  The GPS is not reliable up there!  Trust me on this one.
