Ballet for Adults & Seniorswith Bonnie FlatteryBallet is a fun way to exercise! It's all about movement and enjoying rhythm while dancing to music using ballet techniques. The advantage of dance and movement programs like ballet is that you are able to go at your own pace. Bonnie takes value in using a chair so that participants can stop and rest while continuing with their arm movements. Focus will be on body alignment, natural movements, building strength and increasing balance and stability. Through good body alignment, participants could see an improvement in posture, while strength and balance are gained through movement. Jazz and modern will be included. Spring SessionDates: 6-Week Session - Wed. 4/10 to 5/15Time: 2:00pm-3:00pmLocation: Parks & Recreation RoomFee: $45 R / $45 NR
