A highly creative form of self-expression, dancing is a rigorous exercise and the only way to officially indicate a touchdown. Get into the scoring swing of it with today's Groupon: for $45, you get one month of two classes per week and a waived enrollment fee (a $30 value) at World Ballet Inc. (a $111 total value).
Operating under the guidance of internationally acclaimed artistic director Henry Hernandez, World Ballet provides training for dancers of every skill level using the Vaganova method. A groovy schedule of dance classes transforms turbulent twirls into graceful pirouettes under the tutelage of the talented and experienced faculty, and Groupon holders can mix and match semiweekly classes into a hopping curriculum. During adult ballet classes, instructors emphasize body alignment and technique, improving poise, grace and the likelihood of sticking a rooftop leap during a getaway run. Alternate pliéd practice with one-hour Stretch & Conditioning classes to help fortify core muscles and sculpt a svelte dancer's figure. With four levels of instruction, children gain an appreciation of ballet and jazz as art forms, setting the foundations for technical aptitude and creativity in movement.

The Groupon Guide to: Choosing Produce
There's no worse feeling than when you buy what you assume is perfectly ripe produce only to discover it's too hard or have it dissolve into a pile of ashes in your grocery bag. Here are some tips for filling your basket with ready-to-eat fruits and vegetables:
- Broccoli: Drag the vegetable florets-side-up across your arm. Each should be firm enough to rid your forearm of unwanted hair.
- Cherry: You'll have to tear through the tasteless, inedible outer layer to test the cherry's high-protein, peanut-like core. Once you expose the cherry nut, swallow it and rate the pain you feel as it gradually moves down your throat. If it's less than a seven, it's too ripe.
- Apple: Smell an apple. Does it smell apple?
- Cantaloupe: Knock on it to determine if it's hollow. If it is, there's a gerbil living inside subsisting on the fruit's ripe core. Hurry up! You'll have to eat quickly to beat the gerbil.
- Pumpkin: This orange, round gourd shouldn't deflate easily, so repeatedly stab it with something sharp, such as a hunting knife or the tools doctors use to open their mail.
