Photo collage: the top image is Six dancers in a bright studio. They are all wearing rehearsal clothing and are facing towards the mirror, slightly away from the camera. They have their right arms up in the air and their knees slightly bent. Their body's are slightly arched in a exuberant fashion. Under this is a collage of four Zoom screens of people dancing in living rooms. They have their right arms reaching upwards. Their left arms are down across their stomachs.

Workshop

Creative Movement for Seniors

This movement class starts by paying attention to our breath, grounding and gently stretching to warm up the body. We will pick up the pace and have some fun moving through different styles and rhythms to corresponding music such as jive, disco, waltz, and other forms. We will focus on coordination and rhythmic nuances to keep our brains ticking and our feet moving. Bringing down the pace we will explore balance, graceful placement, transfer of weight and supple spines. We will pick up the pace again to enjoy our expanded range of motion. We will end with a gentle stretch to music, so that we can really feel all the benefits of the attention we gave to our bodies.

 

All 55+ bodies welcome, including beginners. All levels welcome!

Jive, Disco, Waltz, Cha-cha-cha, and more

Claire French + guest teachers
