Winter Spring 2020 TUITION BASED CLASS Schedule
Our tuition-based classes in Fitness and Dance are taught from a “dancer’s point of view” with an emphasis on proper alignment, correct form, efficiency and a balanced practice. Our teachers are certified in a range of methodologies from Pilates, Yoga, MFA dance programs to the American Council on Exercise (ACE) and versed in movement for older bodies. We work towards greater mobility, improved balance, fuller expression, increased flexibility and strength.
