About this event
Dates: Seven Wednesdays: Wednesday, April 9 - May 21, 2025,
Time: 6:00 PM - 7:00 PM EST
NEW SPRING DATES (please note the new dates of this exciting & fun series)
Fitness classes using movement to music –commonly called “dance!” – perfectly designed for health, wellness and a whole lot of fun.
Dancing checks the boxes for both physical and psychological benefits:
Better Balance
Core Strength
Improved Memory
Excellent Cardio Workout
Best of all, dancing just feels good! Many people experience a sensation similar to a “runner’s high” when endorphins, our ‘happy’ hormones, are released. Which they are, when you dance!!
Join us for a fun, playful, creative dance experience where each week we’ll focus on a different body part. (See the ‘game plan’ below.) Laughing and high-fives included.
Game Plan: At every session we will :
1. Warm up
2. Get dancing
3. Cool down
The music will vary each week from pop artists, to Latin-based, showstoppers, Broadway musicals and more. Importantly, for those who wish, the movements will also be demonstrated for a seated position.
Our leaders, Yvonne and Roger, are two very experienced dancers, who also lead classes at the JCC and other locations. (See Bios below)
