Dance Class

December 3, 2014 Leave a Comment

By Joey To

“Everyone, listen up!” the instructor called out, dropping her gym bag with a clank. The chatter ceased and all eyes were fixed on her.

“You’re all here cos you can’t dance but you want to learn quickly, right?” The students nodded.

“Well, you’ve enrolled in this Rapid Fire Dancing Class so that’s a start. By the end of this session, you’ll all be able to move like you’ve never thought possible.” They answered with raised eyebrows and snickers.

The instructor then reached into her bag, whipped out a sub-machine gun and unloaded it near their feet. “C’mon, you losers, start dancing!”

The Power of Imagery with Nina Schuyler

September 12 & 13 on Zoom
Enrollment closes Thursday, September 3 at 7:00 PM Pacific

If your descriptions are vivid but your stories still feel thin, this workshop is for you.

Join award-winning author Nina Schuyler to learn the difference between description, which tells a reader what things look like, and imagery, which carries plot, character, and meaning at the same time.

In just two days, you'll learn to choose images that hold emotion without naming it, pair them so each one deepens the other, and build patterns that gather meaning as the story moves.
