One World Community Choir and Social Club with Betsy Sansby & Alan Dworsky No matter how long it's been since you sang in a choir, if you love to sing in the shower and are looking for a place to sing with your clothes on, there's a spot for you in the One World Community Choir. You'll learn a crazy mix of beautiful multi-part songs from all over the world: Scottish ballads, funky songs from Africa, hypnotic chants from India, hits from the 50's, and the best of American roots. Our motto is: If we love it, we'll teach it. The One World Community Choir is more than just a choir. It’s a community of folks who love to sing, laugh, and hang out together. The atmosphere in class is welcoming and relaxed, but we do work hard, so you'll never be bored. Everybody cares about the music, but nobody cares if you mess up. Unlike most choirs, who spend most of their time preparing for performances, we sing for our own pleasure. Occasionally we do show up and sing at a community event or benefit, but these are rare “appearances” rather than performances, and we always invite our audiences to sing along. The One World Community Choir is more than a choir. It’s a community of fun people who love to sing, laugh, and eat together. Many show up at the Marsh before class to hang out, grab a quick bite, or share a glass of wine. The choir is led by Betsy Sansby and Alan Dworsky, who conduct the choir with the same dramatic imperfection that they bring to their marriage. Betsy was trained at the Community Choir Leadership Program in Victoria, Canada. She is the producer and primary performer on the Teaching CDs for Community Choir Leaders series. Alan is a classically trained piano player and former rock musician. Now he’s a hand drum teacher, and together with Betsy has written eight award-winning books on drumming and rhythm. When: Monday nights, from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. Year-round. Each session is 10-weeks long. Where: Hopkins Community Center, Rm. 233 near Highway 7 and 12th Ave. If there’s a change, we’ll let you know. Cost: $79/10-week session. (Wow, that’s cheaper than my yoga class and I don’t even have to wear tights.). If you’re joining after a 10-week session has started, that’s okay. Just show up a few minutes early for class and Al will prorate your fee for however many sessions are left. Visitors are always welcome, but no drop-ins, please, except during Summer Session.
