Decatur City Dance Presents Winter Concert
Combine these ingredients: ballet, bacchanal, the French film “Amelie,” a Celtic song, tapping to a tango, swinging to "Mercy," jazz dances "Jai Ho" and "Evacuate," and powerful, energetic modern dance movement set to "Pulling Rabbits out of a Hat."

The result is Decatur City Dance's popular Winter Dance Concert. The oldest performing dance group in DeKalb County, the company is presenting its 57th season February 5 at 7:30 pm and February 6 at 2:00 pm and 7:30 pm in the theatre at St. Pius High School.

Tickets go on sale to the general public on January 18.

For tickets and more information, call 404-378-3388.

Jazzercise Tips for Smooth Skin in the Winter
Smooth Skin in the Winter. It seems that winter workouts in dry air, both indoors and outdoors, wreak havoc on skin.

Jazzercise gives these suggestions: Take shorter showers. No more than 10 minutes to keep your skin from drying out. When you exit the shower, apply lotion immediately.

Switch facial cleansers. Use a creamy cleanser instead of a gel cleanser during the winter. Run a humidifier. Apply hand cream liberally. Drink water. When it’s cool outside, we often drink fewer fluids, which results in chapped lips. Try to drink 8-10 glasses of water per day. Moisturize pre-workout. The high sodium content of perspiration can be drying
