Things to Do in Overland Park

Rebecca Black is a veteran of ballroom, Latin, and swing dancing, as well as a graduate of the Beginners Only USA Training Course. She'll tailor your private, 50-minute lessons for any upcoming weddings, Renaissance Faires, safety dances, and other special occasions. If you're all danced up with no place to go, choose from a variety of styles, including East Coast Swing, Latin, or American Style Social Ballroom. By the time you’re finished, you'll be fox-trotting, free-styling, and two-stepping your way straight to the nearest dance club.

The experienced staff of deftly pivoting instructors at Amoré Dance guides students through muscle-toning classes to help improve coordination and self-esteem. Ballroom sessions cover the rumba, waltz, foxtrot, and swing, which remain popular dances at weddings and Viking funerals. Zumba and kid-centered Zumbatomic blend a wide variety of free-flowing moves into a fun aerobic dance program. In Beginning Belly Dancing, all body types take on the traditional steps and alluring movements of the Middle East–originated dance form, which takes on an American style. Single-dancer sessions do not require partners, so mannequins and coat racks may be left at home. Additionally, students will enjoy a spacious studio and a versatile schedule that leaves participants with plenty of time to practice moves at home and in workplace elevators.

An emerald jewel set into the 1,000-acre framework of a residential community, the championship course at Creekmoor meanders along ridges and conceals daunting holes in tree-shaded valleys. The course's lush zoysia fairways and 65 sand bunkers challenge both greenthumb golfers and green-jacket holders as they hunt eagles and birdies across its 18 holes. Their path to glory takes hazardous turns at the crystalline lake that borders hole seven, while prevailing winds push balls off course near the ninth hole—a 660-yard behemoth known as The Monster at Creekmoor. Before launching their dimpled projectiles at that unholy beast, golfers can practice knightly strokes and parries on the course's driving range.

Now in its 51st year, Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church's festival once more celebrates the rich history and culture of Greece with live dance, traditional food, and Hellenistic arts and crafts. Visitors can watch displays of traditional dancing as troupes of costumed performers whirl and leap to folk tunes. Open-mouthed onlookers can snack on souvlaki, gyros, and baked pastitsio or shout out traditional Greek exclamations such as "Opa!", "Yassou!", and "Don't drop that Olympic torch!"

Church tours introduce festivalgoers to the stunning gilded iconography of Annunciation's sanctuary, and also give them a brief lesson on the symbolism, teaching, and history of the Greek Orthodox Church. Outside, kids get their faces painted, play games, and bounce inside a moonwalk, while adults stroll through the gift shop area, which attempts to tempt them with colorful wares imported from Greece, including fisherman's hats, gold jewelry, and worry beads.
