Strolling through downtown Franklin for First Fridays? Stop by to tinker with robots, art or other STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art and math) fun! All Ages welcome.
August 1
Join local ballroom dancers Kelly Ellis, ND and Joshua Pennebaker for a dancing demo, learn a few steps, and dance the evening away! It's back-to-school time--create fun backpack or locker decorations with buttons and marble magnets.
Kelly Ellis is a Naturopathic Doctor at Natura Wellness in downtown Franklin. She started taking Ballroom Dance lessons just 3 years ago as an outlet for fun and physical challenge. There she met her partner and fiancé. He, too, started ballroom dance lessons just 3 years ago, when he wanted to rekindle his love for dance, as Josh worked with a dance group as a teen. Together, they found their love in each other and in dancing as a couple. They continue to learn in their own dances, such as Cha-Cha, Rumba, Swing (East Coast and West Coast!), Waltz, and many others. Kelly and Josh both feel that everyone receives so much more from dancing than just learning to dance. There's the physical challenge, stress outlet, self-confidence, not to mention the emotional connection!
