Fitness and the Arts get together for a fun week in June
June 16-20, 2008 is National YMCA Arts Week. The Minot Family YMCA and MACA have planned special activities that highlight the connections between sport/fitness and arts. Both kinds of activites are fun and good for you! All activities take place each day from 10:00 am to 11:00 am at the Minot YMCA and are free, open to the public, and for participants of any age. A variety of offerings are scheduled.

Local Dancers Win at Competition
Local dance studio, The Dance Company of Minot, recently traveled to the Spotlight Dance Cup in Billings, MT. The nationally recognized dance competition opened in Billings on March 14th and ran through the weekend.
