While there are many awesome events to keep an eye on this Spring, what about those of use that don’t like to go to events with tons of people? It might be fun to consider trying a new class!
There are several unique classes coming up around the Emerald Coast. We’ve covered a little bit of everything from yoga to art classes. Here are seven out-of-the-box classes to consider taking this Spring!

How cool is that?! I would never think to try something like blacksmithing. Pinterest can only get us so far and some of us just need the structure of a class in order to try something new. Not only that, most of us don’t have goats hanging around our house to do yoga with! 🐐
Which classes do you wish we had in the area? Let us know!
I personally wish we had a kombucha making class locally!
