Who knew that dance could be enjoyed into our older age?! Rita Swidrowski, a senior and an avid Zumba dancer, teaches beginner dance classes for active older adults at the Belfast YMCA. She will lead a variety of dances with cha cha, twist, boogie, salsa, mambo steps & more to a variety of tunes. No dance experience is necessary, & steps are shown & cued. Repetition makes for easy following & modifications are shown. Each person is encouraged to follow his or her own body’s needs & styles. Studies show that movement & exercise are major factors in staying healthy & fit into older age! Come dance with us!
There are two sessions of fitness dancing: Wednesday, January 17 at 2:00 p.m., and Wednesday, January 24, at 2:00 p.m. Please only sign up for one session. Both sessions will take place in the Picker Room.
