Consider dancing in duct-tape duds
 |
| Putting together prom outfits made of duct tape isn't as crazy as it sounds, not when you can win $5,000 in scholarships for doing it. |
Now some lucky couple can score $5,000 in college scholarship money in the third annual Duck-brand "Stuck at Prom" contest by making a rather more unusual use of duct tape — creating prom formal wear.
Contestants are asked to create formal outfits from duct tape, then submit photos of themselves wearing their finery.
To find out more about rules or view previous entries, check out www.ducttapeclub.com. Entries will be accepted March 3 to June 13.
Winners will be based on originality, workmanship, quantity of duct tape used, use of colors and creative use of accessories.
Mind-body program offers local training
 |
However, only two teachers are certified to teach the program in Hawai'i: Erin Graue on Maui and Megan Mac-Arthur on the Big Island.
So Nia founders Debbie and Carlos Rosas, have asked Zeta Gaudet to do a "white belt" week-long intensive training program March 2-8. It's designed for those who want to become certified Nia teachers, or those who simply would like to learn more about movement and what Nia can do for them.
The cost is $1,499 for the week. Advance registration and a $500 deposit are required.
