Creative Aging: Dance for Life

Tuesday, Dec 3, 2019 | 11:30am–12:30pm

ADMISSION: Free in conjunction with Free First Tuesdays. For more information or to register, contact access@thecjm.org.

Discover the transformative power of dance in this intergenerational movement class taught by Marika Brussel. This class is appropriate for everyone who enjoys movement, and is specifically designed to be accessible for individuals who use wheelchairs, as well as those with balance concerns or Parkinson’s. The class begins seated with warm ups for the body and mind. As the class progresses, participants can stand or stay seated as the group continues to hone balance, grace, and confidence.
