Don't be shy if you haven't been moving for a while. This gentle dance aerobics class designed by Movement Therapist Dr. Martha Eddy PhD is a safe, non-intimidating environment with great music and exercise can be done at your own pace. You are encouraged to do what is comfortable and modify based on your energy level, range of motion, or fitness level. We start where you are at, so don't worry if you haven't been moving. All ages and abilities are welcome.

 

While in-person classes are on hold, we are keeping you moving online! Stay safe, healthy, strong and connected. #movewithus
