While fees vary, enrollment at APSU is not required to take part in any course.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe big thing we\u2019re proud to offer this year is a full, comprehensive dance program,\u201d Matthews Burns, CSA coordinator, said. \u201cWe have had dance classes before, but now we have courses for every level, from children aged 4-5 all the way to adult-level ballet.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>CSA dance courses are skill-based, allowing students to focus on personal goals. Without competition, students can focus on technique, fitness or just having fun. These new courses were designed by and are being taught by APSU dance faculty member, Margaret Rennerfeldt and her students.<\/p>\n<p>For young people, the CSA is now offering a course on cartooning. Led by area artist Tim Pafford, the course allows students to explore the basics of cartooning and design.<\/p>\n<p>Besides the new, the CSA still offers classes in, among others, music, art, theatre and photography. Expanded Photoshop offerings are now available &#8212; as well as more as the season progresses.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe classes we\u2019re currently offering at the beginning of August and September are our most popular courses,\u201d Burns added. \u201cWhat\u2019s available for registration right now online won\u2019t be all our offerings.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For more information on the CSA, call 931.221.7508, or email at <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"mailto:csa@apsu.edu\">csa@apsu.edu<\/a>.
