Fitness and Dance

Keep warm as the weather cools with our upcoming fitness and dance classes.


The next eight-week session of Postural Therapy Movement (Course 12822) with Joey Zimet on Wednesday mornings starts on October 30, 2024. Learn realignment techniques to stand or sit up straight, walk with efficiency and balance, and breathe more naturally. Easy, impactful postural stretches and exercises help alleviate day-to-day aches and pains such as back tightness from extended sitting or wrist discomfort while typing.


We have recently added two more unique classes to the catalog. Line Dancing (Course 12899) with Maxim Arkhipenko begins on Saturday morning, November 2, 2024. No partner needed to learn some of the most popular moves that get people out of their seats and onto the dance floor at social functions. The electric slide, cupid shuffle, cotton-eyed Joe, shivers and cha cha slide are just a few examples of these fun and easy to learn steps.


Restorative Stretch, a Proactive Approach to Stress and Pain (Course 12870) with new instructor Geoff Rose offers three modalities to reduce stress, pain, and improve posture. First, stationary non-impact dynamic joint warm ups will lubricate the joints, increase body awareness, and stimulate local ligaments. Second, myofascial stretching helps lengthen the connective tissue surrounding the bones, muscles, and organs to improve joint function, reduce pain, and increase circulation. Third, ELDOA -- exercises that use the fascial lines to create global tension -- improves joint mechanics, increases blood flow, reduces pressure on the discs, reduces pain, rehydrates spinal discs, and improves posture. Class begins on Wednesday morning, November 6, 2024.
