Chef Ercan Ekinci of Urban Prime jokingly admits that he doesn’t dance that well. Yet, he loves the energy of dancing. With that in mind, the popular chef has created the Prime Social Hour with a theme of Dance, Dine and Connect. There will be no cover charge. The inaugural Prime Social Hour will be held from 6 to 9 p.m. July 1 at Urban Prime, which is located at 2435 Metfield Drive in Viera. Its theme will be America the Beautiful as a prelude to the 250th birthday of the United States.

Escapology Viera promises to have something for everyone in its escape rooms as it plans for a late October opening next to The Avenue Viera. The planned 4,815-square-foot complex will have a steampunk theme dating back to the Victorian age of steam-powered machinery, old clocks and vintage leather. It eventually will have nine escape rooms. “We saw Viera as a growing area with a lot of new businesses,’’ said Ruth Dean of Deansscapology, who operates a similar escape room in Gainesville.

Rachel Winsten, the chair of the health and physical education department at Viera High School, has been named SHAPE’s Florida High School Physical Education Teacher of the Year. SHAPE stands for the Society of Health and Physical Education. Winsten also won the Southeast District, which consists of 13 states in the Southeast Region. The United States is divided into five regions.
