Wu Style Tai Chi Chuan is practiced as a "form," a well-defined sequence of movements that flows from one posture to the next according to underlying principles. This class presents the movements and relaxed flow of the Tai Chi form from one posture to the next. Each class begins with a review of the previous one, then goes on to the new position.
The entire sequence of movements are taught, where the hands go, where the feet go, and the principles (softness, straightness, relaxation) that makes doing the movements worthwhile. Each class includes demonstrations, lots of practice repetitions, hands-on adjustments, and verbal guidance. Kannon suggests wearing loose fitting clothing, bringing a water bottle, and to practice at home between classes.

October 8, 2024 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm
Learn International Wu Style Tai Chi Chuan with Leslie Kannon at LACA! There are two program options, both take place one a week over 6 weeks.
- Tuesdays starting Sept. 3 from 11:30 a.m. - 1 p.m. (Sept. 3, Sept. 10, Sept. 17, Sept. 24, Oct. 1, and Oct. 8)
- Tuesdays starting Sept. 3 from 6:30 - 8 p.m. (Sept. 3, Sept. 10, Sept. 17, Sept. 24, Oct. 1, and Oct. 8)
This class is designed for students 12 years old to adults. Registration for the six-week season is $50 for LACA members and $60 for non-members. Register online at ludingtonartscenter.org or by calling 231-845-2787.
Wu Style Tai Chi Chuan is practiced as a "form," a well-defined sequence of movements that flows from one posture to the next according to underlying principles. This class presents the movements and relaxed flow of the Tai Chi form from one posture to the next. Each class begins with a review of the previous one, then goes on to the new position.
The entire sequence of movements are taught, where the hands go, where the feet go, and the principles (softness, straightness, relaxation) that makes doing the movements worthwhile. Each class includes demonstrations, lots of practice repetitions, hands-on adjustments, and verbal guidance. Kannon suggests wearing loose fitting clothing, bringing a water bottle, and to practice at home between classes.

Brass Queens
Brass Queens
October 12, 2024 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Stay tuned for Ticketing Information!
Brass Queens is a New York-based brass band that is female-led and features an all-female horn section. Finding that they shared similar frustrations about the emerging brass band scene in the city, co-founders Alex Harris and Ally Chapel came together to form a group dedicated to showcasing the talents of female musicians in a landscape that was dominated by male musicians and bandleaders.
After debuting in March 2019, Brass Queens grew to be a fixture in the New York music scene and was even dubbed "the hardest working band in town" by their peers. The Queens gained a dedicated following through busking on the streets of Brooklyn and playing pop-up events in tight-knit communities. Even the pandemic couldn't slow them down, as the band found ways to still bring music and joy to their fans during quarantine. Since then, Brass Queens has gone on to play iconic venues like Blue Note Jazz Club and Brooklyn Bowl, as well as major events like The Met Gala, Governor's Ball Music Festival, Exit Zero Jazz Festival, Good Morning America, and more.
Brass Queens has developed a signature sound that sits right at the intersection of the Big Apple and the Big Easy: their music is deeply inspired by and pays homage to the New Orleans brass band tradition while injecting the upbeat, multifaceted energy of their New York home into each performance. The result is a nonstop party: a Brass Queens show will have you singing along to classic pop hits, dancing your heart out to reggaeton, and feeling like you've been transported to Frenchman Street. In February 2021, Brass Queens released their debut EP Royal Street on all streaming platforms, and the band is currently working on their first full-length album.
