The buses are full of bright-eyed, backpacked first-graders; come 3pm, uniformed middle-schoolers are strolling the streets; and the office supply aisle at Duane Reade has been wiped clean. All of this can only mean one thing—it’s back to school time!If watching your neighbor’s kids go back to school has left you nostalgic for book bags, Trapper Keepers, and your eighth-grade history teacher, you may want to consider going back to school yourself by taking advantage of the new selection of courses available at the 92nd Street Y. Here, some of the classes that I’m most interested in this fall:
Creative Beadwork: Learn to make your own beaded jewelry in time for the gift-giving season with this seven-session course, beginning September 21.
Public Speaking: A Crash Course: Hone your public speaking skills using methods that don’t involve the unpleasant task of picturing everyone in the room naked. This four-session course begins October 26.
Intro to Pilates: Strengthen, tone, and stretch your way to fitness with this 17-week pilates course for beginners. Classes start September 16, so register soon!
Poetry with Jen Bervin: Starting October 18, explore your inner poet with this eight-week class that focuses on both reading and writing poetry.
Basic Six Ballroom: Grab your favorite partner and learn the basic steps of ballroom dancing. Four-session courses begin on September 21, October 21, November 30, and January 6.

Check out these courses and more here—and then get started on your back to school shopping.
