Dance for Wellness

Engage your imagination to enhance your creative awareness, alignment, strength and flexibility while learning ballet, jazz and modern dance concepts. No previous dance experience necessary. The instructor provides options for each movement, empowering participants to “choose your own movement adventure” from a seated or standing position.
- Classes can be created/ provided for specific populations.
