Boot Camp Begins!

For many young people, today is the start of the 5-week intensive, known to the cognoscenti as "Ballet Boot Camp"!.

Yes, the Central Pennsylvania Youth Ballet has started the first of its two summer programs, with aspiring ballet dancers from all over the world descending on Carlisle to receive the best schooling possible. Founding Artistic Director Marcia Dale Weary, Associate Artistic Director Darla Hoover, and CPYB's Resident Choreographer Alan Hineline lead an amazingly talented staff whose mission is "to inspire, educate and enrich the lives of our students and the region through training in and the performance of classical ballet.". We are proud to be one of Carlisle's CPYB supporters!

On Saturday July 2, the Stars of CPYB 2011 performance takes place at the Whitaker Center for Science and the Arts, Harrisburg, PA. You can find full details here, and we have just two rooms left for you to stay over and enjoy our hospitality to go along with what will surely be a wonderful evening!

One, Six, and Ten....

No, for all those expatriate Brits like me, that does NOT mean One Pound, Six Shillings and Tenpence! (Everybody younger than 50 is now scratching their head saying "Shilling? Tenpence?).

No we are talking about the new Jessie's Room Experience. Consider, you wake up in the morning after a restful sleep in a great bed with awesome sheets, and the first thing you are faced with is a decision.

Do I (you ask yourself) need a quick shower? Can I take a little longer and enjoy the six body jets? Or can I descend into complete enjoyment with the shower AND the body jets AND then sit down in front of the ten pulsating massaging back jets?

Clearly a decision like this should not be made in a hurry, so here is our suggestion. Throw on some clothes (we really would prefer you do that!), then come down to the dining room and enjoy our awesome breakfast, and then you can go back to Jessie's Room and take all the time you need to enjoy your shower.

We would not go so far as to say that you should make a special trip to Carlisle to enjoy Jessie's new shower, but it wouldn't surprise us if you did!

By the way, our policies do state that we are not responsible for domestic disputes caused by one partner spending too long in the shower!
