Git fit at new local studio, Move 2 ImproveBy LaureL robertson

Because the rest of her life – as an educator, wife, mom, and business owner – is so demanding, Dawn

Rudolph tries to “keep it simple” at Drip-ping Springs’ newest fitness studio, Move 2 Improve Fitness.

She requires no contracts, no mem-bership fees, no childcare fees and creates a relaxed, non-competitive atmosphere in the studio.

“We’re all moms here,” she explains with a smile. “We understand if you have to come in late, leave early – even leave in the middle of class to pick up a child and then come back to finish!”

Fitness that fits family lifestyles is the main focus at Move 2 Improve – along with fun! Evening Zumba classes are packed with participants of all ages, shapes and sizes rocking out to Latin

beats in the dark nightclub-like setting, il-luminated mainly by dancing lights from a disco ball. While Zumba classes are the most numerous and popular, Move 2 Im-prove also offers a full schedule of day-time and evening Pilates, Yoga, Body Fit and Boot Camp classes.

After teaching Zumba through lo-cal community education classes, Dawn opened her fitness studio last December in a spacious building behind Cowgirls and Lace. Her goal, she says, was to create a local spot for the number of fitness en-thusiasts in Dripping Springs who were driving into Austin for workout classes.

Her business model includes paying more for her staff than for rent. “I hire the best of the best and pay them well - because people come to classes for the instructors,” she believes. In addition to

herself, she has four trained instructors who are also moms from the Dripping Springs area.

Dawn’s commitment to serving busy moms also includes providing a super-vised kids’ room for tod-dlers and older kids at no extra cost to class partici-pants.

Two of her own teenage children often help out by staffing the kids’ room dur-ing evening classes.

The best result – and biggest surprise – from opening the studio, Dawn reports, is the number of wonderful people she’s met and made friends with.

“I have five sets of moth-ers-and-daughters in classes – and three sets of sisters,” she says with amazement. “

I’ve met students who are doing Zumba to address serious health issues, and they share that with me…. Getting to know all these wonderful women has been so fabulous and….” Here she breaks off, choking up with tears through a smile.

A nearby participant agrees.

“It’s a very positive environment. Ev-eryone is encouraging – I find friends in every class.”

Besides moms of school age kids, Move 2 Improve classes include people in every age range, says Zumba and Body Fit instructor Lisa Matthews – including several 60-something-year-olds that can “breeze through while the rest of us are gasping for breath,” she laughs.

Move 2 Improve offers special events monthly. Thirty Zumba enthusiasts filled their colorful float during April’s Found-ers Day celebration.

In May, Dawn and crew volunteered their time and Zumba teaching talents to

the DSHS Relay for Life. “It was absolute-ly incredible,” she recalls. “There were 150 kids doing Zumba on the football field, totally synched and cheering.”

Also during May, Move 2 Improve hosted regional Zumba celebrities, The 4 Amigos, for a sold-out Zumbathon at the studio.

Special events this summer include a Glow Party in June and a Zumba Under the Stars party in July.

FYI • Move 2 Improve Fitness is located at 1111 West Hwy 290 in Dripping Springs, just behind Cowgirls and Lace. A full schedule of classes and registration information can be found on their website: www.move2improvefitness.com, or by calling 512-289-5935.

Dripping Springs High School senior Cambria Sawyer figured out a way to con-vert unwanted pocket change into change for the better in one small town in Mexico. The Penny Drop project that she designed and carried out at DSHS this

April raised more than $600 for the Pan de Vida Mission in Sandoval, Mexico, which provides a home for orphaned children and battered women.

Cambria first learned of the shelter and its programs when she traveled to Sandoval on a mission trip. “I fell in love with the place, their spirit and the children,” she remem-bers. After returning home, Cambria remained in contact with the Mission and learned that they were trying to raise money to replace their deteriorated fence with a new one that would provide more security for the residents.

Local Dripping Springs’ businesses allowed Cambria and her volunteers to place coin collection jars by their cash registers and some individuals provided personal do-nation to the project. After collecting donations for two months, the fundraising group converted all the donations into pennies and spread the coins out on the floor of an empty classroom at the high school. They invited students to stop by the room through-out the day and contribute what pocket change they could to the floor fund.

As an extra little incentive for the students, Cambria convinced head basketball coach Chris Payne and history teacher Jeff Bixby to act as “human basketball hoops.” The two donned protective helmets and stood in the middle of the penny pile while students aimed coins at them. A flood of kids showed up with change in hand to pelt the pedagogues with pennies (and nickels and quarters….).

The project accomplished more than one goal: it raised funds for the Mission, raised awareness at DSHS of the Pan de Vida Mission’s programs - and was a whole lot of fun, reports Cambria. Mission accomplished!

The Austin Zoo & Animal Sanctuary is seeking artists (including artist teams) to participate in creating art on fiberglass animals for a fundraiser to benefit and sup-port the Zoo’s mission. Participating artists must live within a 50-mile radius of

Austin Zoo & Animal Sanctuary. All entries are welcome and greatly appreciated, and will be accepted through July 20.

Home to more then 300 animals —including 100 different species— the Austin Zoo & Animal Sanctuary is a private, non-profrt 501 (c)(3) zoo rescuing animals and serv-ing the Austin community. Situated in the beautiful Hill Country just outside of town, Austin Zoo & Animal Sanctuary is visited by hundreds of thousands of people each year. The facility encourages emerging, amateur, and professional artists from various cultures and ethnic backgrounds to apply to participate in the art competition.

Artists may request specific animals— including a lion, tiger, bear, bobcat, wolf, rooster, lamb, longhorn, peacock and llama— as their “canvas.”

The entries will be juried by Leonard Lehrer, a painter and printmaker whose work has been seen internationally for decades, including 47 solo exhibitions (including New York City, Philadelphia, and throughout the U.S., Germany, Austria, Spain, and Italy) and five one-person museum exhibitions). His work has been collected by the Museum of Modern Art and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, the National Gal-lery of Art, the Corcoran Gallery of Art, and the Library of Congress in Washington D.C.

Mr. Lehrer has curated intemational exhibitions and presented numerous papers, including the keynote address at Fulbright’s International Meeting in Marrakesh, Mo-rocco. He is a Professor Emeritus of Art at New York University, and Founding Trustee of the International Print Center New York (TPCNY).

The completed artworks will be on display at Austin Zoo & Animal Sanctuary for public viewing from February 1 through May 9, 2014. The Gala and Auction will take place on May 10, 2014. The artists, title of the piece, and name of any sponsors will be displayed by each piece. Artists will also be recognized in various printed materials, media events, on the Austin Zoo & Animal Sanctuary’s web site, Facebook page, and at the Gala and Auction.

FYI • The call and application form are available on the Zoo’s web site at austinzoo.org. The call for artists runs through July 20. This is a juried art competition and there is no fee to enter. All completed animal artworks will be displayed outdoors and must be finished with an exterior grade sealer that is non-reactive, non-toxic, UV-resistant and water-proof. A minimum of two coats is required in either matte or gloss finish. Artists will complete their designs in their homes or studios. They can paint, sculpt, transform, or adorn the animal to complete their design, but the structural integrity of the art piece must remain intact. When attaching objects to the surface, please do so in a permanent manner. The supplier of the fiberglass animals, Cowpainters.com, has an “artist help”line and will communicate in a timely fashion with any artist with questions about what materials work best and how to complete the proposed design tomeet the specifications outlined in this call. They can be reached at info@cowpainters. com.

Austin Zoo & Animal Sanctuary will accept applications from artists through July 20. Entries must be postmarked by July 20. ustin Zoo & Animal Sanctuary retains all ownership rights, publication rights, and sales of the artwork, (less 10 percent of the final sale to the artist). The artist will have certain publication rights, as well as due diligence for publicity from Austin Zoa & Animal Sanctuary. Reproduction rights andsales from any reproductions belong solely to Austin Zoo & Animal Sanctuary. If you are selected, by submitting your entry you give Austin Zoo & Animal Sanctuary the right to publish your images for publicity purposes;all images will be credited to the artist.

Jumpstart your creativity at the Art Ga-rage! This summer’s lineup of classes, workshops, camps and special events

at the walk-in art studio on Circle Drive will offer high-octane inspiration to spark the creative drive of kids and adults of all ages. First off the line June 7, the Art Garage celebrates its second birthday with an Open House, featuring free art projects and cup-cakes for all. Owner Kelly Emmert invites everyone to come experience the joy she finds through art. “Create and be happy” is the best approach to life, she believes.

Throughout the summer, The Art Ga-rage will come alive with activity morn-ing ‘til night. From themed summer art camps to story times, tie-dye Fridays, adult workshop nights and a few special events, there’s something for anyone who has creative curiosity.

Summer camps, which run weekly from June through August, will be offered for mixed ages and featuring mixed art media: ceramics, hand-building with clay, drawing, painting, fused glass, jewelry, tie-dye, color theory and more.

Campers in each week’s camp will complete eight to 12 art projects and cel-ebrate on Friday with a pARTy. Camps generally run from 10 am to 2 pm, with af-tercare available from 2 pm to 6 pm.

Friday mornings’ Storytime Art is geared to the pre-school crowd (although older kids are always welcome) and in-clude a book (or two) and a related art project.

Wednesday night Family Nights from 6 pm to 7 pm bring the whole family to-gether through the creative process. The once-a-month events will offer individual themes with special discounts in the stu-dio and free art projects.

Adults and kids can get colorful at Tie-Dye Fridays, a once-a-month open studio time to tie-dye t-shirts and other cloth-ing in need of expression. A special ‘Red, White and Blue” tie-dye event on Sunday, June 30 will get everyone and their shirt in a patriotic spirit for the Fourth of July.

Six Friday nights in June and July will host Workshops – special evenings for adults without the supervision of children. Participants may enjoy their own wine, beer, and snacks while they explore the wonders of fused glass, canvas painting, batiking, and painting pottery.

The 1,800 square-foot building that is home to The Art Garage contains a class-room/party room with seating for 20-plus and a spacious studio with room for artists to spread out. In the center of the build-ing is the kiln, where hand-built clay cre-ations, fused glass and painted pottery are fired. Kelly feels that centering her studio around the kiln is like centering the home around the kitchen. “It’s important for kids to see their pieces go into the kiln and come out again to understand the whole process,” she says.

A trained artist (she holds a Bache-lors degree from Florida State University School of Visual Arts), Kelly says the ex-perience of motherhood opened her eyes to the importance of making the world a better place for children.

She decided to teach art to give chil-dren opportunities to explore, experiment and develop their creative talents.

After completing graduate school and teaching high school in Florida, Kel-ly moved to Austin in 2008 and began to teach art to friends’ kids in her garage stu-dio. That’s right, the Art Garage really be-
