Our first four days of classes have been great! It's been wonderful to see all the familiar faces and lots of new ones, too! I am hearing so many positive things from people who are grateful for the beautiful space, the full schedule, and all the fantastic teachers! Yay!!!!

Today, Wednesday October 6th, a crew is working our 3rd floor space to replace the windows so that they can open up to let in the fresh air! It appears that they'll be finished in time for the 6pm Pilates class and Capoeira at 7pm.

Party at Park 52
If you're looking for something fun to do night... My FAVORITE Chicago Band is playing at Park 52 starting at 7pm. Two Chaturangans are in the band... our very own Marcos Oliveira (Brazilian Percussion) and Dil Costa (Brazilian Dance) are performing the BEST Brazilian music! Come out and join some of the Chaturanga staff for dinner and drinks, and of course samba dancing!!!

NOTE: The Brazilian Percussion Class is CANCELED this weekend due to Marcos' performance at the 2nd Annual Brazilian Music Festival (www.musicinst.org).

Open House
SAVE THE DATE!!! We have scheduled our Open House for Saturday, October 30th. We will be offering short form classes and demos, a raffle, and some other FUN surprises. More information to come!

Oktoberfest
Chaturanga will have a table at Oktoberfest this Saturday from 1 - 7pm on 53rd Street. Stop by and pay us a visit. Even better, can you help? Contact me at mbussard@gmail.com
