We'll transition into triple-time swing and add some lindy styling for a combination of dance steps and patterns that will keep you on the dance floor all night. Each term a different set of patterns will be taught. Singles and couples are welcome.

Start your day with new energy and inner calm with the practice of one of the original ancient Chinese martial arts, tai chi. The slowness and evenness of continuous movement, based on ancient philosophy, make this an ideal form of exercise for men and women of all ages and abilities. You'll increase your strength and resilience, promote cardiovascular and respiratory endurance, improve coordination and balance, and build confidence. We'll practice a series of movements in the yang style, today's most popular form. Please wear soft, flat-bottomed shoes. Daniel F.
