• Enrichment - Enjoy an ever-changing and diverse selection of offerings to engage, entertain and challenge you. Experience out-of-the-box adventures with the LLL chapter of the Ladies Explorer Club, enter the world of a CSI investigator, journey back through our city's history on a Columbus Landmarks bus tour or spend an afternoon with the Studios on High gallery artists.
  

• Writing & Language - Get in touch with your creative side and explore various writing genres with the assistance of experienced, published authors. Screenwriting and songwriting are both new this quarter. Exercise your brain cells as you learn to converse in a different language. Choose from beginning levels of Spanish, French, Italian or Chinese.

• History & Travel - Visit exotic locales and intriguing historical sites, with our globe-trotting, travel-savvy instructors as your tour guides. We can whisk you off to Paris, Versailles, or the Scotland of Bravehart and Robert the Bruce. No passports or postcards necessary! Discover what our Ohio hostel at Malabar Farm State Park has to offer. This affordable accommodation fits most everyone's travel budget!

• Health & Self Care - Take a proactive approach to your overall health by investigating various aspects of wellness, both mind and body. Make your own well-being and personal fulfillment a priority. You'll feel better for it!

• Music & Dance - Take to the floor and get moving in any of our many dance classes. Winter choices include the quick foot action of Irish Step Dance and core-strengthening ballet fitness. Fans of Dancing with the Stars can try their hands (and feet!) in the ballroom. The only thing missing is the Mirror Ball trophy!

• Fine Arts & Crafts - Try your hand at the potter's wheel or improve your photography techniques. Learn to draw and paint in a variety of mediums or experiment with a new craft, all in a relaxed, hands-on format. Several fun jewelry-making projects are featured and printmaking is new to our line-up.

• Garden - Part of the fun of gardening is the planning and preparation, so take advantage of our professional gardeners' expertise. Spring will be here before you know it. Get a jump on the growing season!

• Food & Drink - Spice up date night or a girls' (or guys') night out with our new Saturday Sous Chef series with the popular Chef Drew Curlett. Enjoy Bourbon tasting and sample Irish brews, just in time for St. Patrick's Day, both at the Refectory. Even the humble cabbage takes a starring role in its own class. LLL does our part to keep your winter menus fresh and delicious.
  

• Technology - Embrace your inner techie by increasing your understanding, and your comfort level, with multi-tasking new electronics and social media!

• Sports, Fitness & Yoga - LLL's ongoing fitness program offers spinning, weight training, Zumba, aerobic dancing, along with several great low-impact choices. Try our new hooping class, a total body workout using hoops that aren't quite the hula hoop of old! Our extensive range of fitness classes is sure to keep you motivated, no matter what your fitness level.
  

• Online Classes - A wide range of interactive online courses are available through our partnership with ed2go. All are taught by expert instructors, many of whom are nationally known. These classes are affordable, fun, fast, convenient, and, best of all, customized to your personal schedule. To peruse the online catalog, visit www.ed2go.com/uaohio and click the Courses link at the top of the page.
