Class Description:
Our class focus will be on well-being through exercise with an emphasis on movement. As our physical backgrounds are in dance, we will be implementing dance techniques and structure to this exercise program. A general class might start by warming up through increasing the body’s circulation and flexibility with the help of chairs. We will then stand up and move to the center of classroom and use dance exercises to increase mobility. The main goal of our class is to incorporate a sense of community through an inclusive and enjoyable exercise practice. Therefore all the movement taught in the class will be targeted towards all levels of ability. We are both extremely excited to share this experience with you!
