Learn basic dance steps while exercising your body and mind by dancing to all kinds of music (not just country). Line dancing is a great way to have fun and enjoy the music without a partner. We welcome beginners and experienced dancers. Please bring water and wear shoes with a low or flat heel, without too much grip, to allow you to turn and glide as you dance.

This course is for anyone wanting to increase muscle strength, build bone mass and improve balance. The instructor will lead you through easy to follow exercises and progressive balance work to increase muscle strength and improve balance.

Are you looking for a light cardio and strength building class that can be done in a chair? This beginner class uses a fun mix of chair exercises and standing exercises using your chair for support, allowing you to work at your own pace. No floor work in this class.

Some knowledge of the game is required as there is no instructor available at this time. Easy to learn and Easy to play. Rules are provided.

Easy to learn and Easy to play. Floor Curling is an ideal game for those who no longer wish to curl on the ice. There is no sweeping and it is warm! Floor Curling is perfect for promoting flexibility, increased range of motion, and circulation.

Slow and gentle movement following traditional yoga poses. This is toned down for older adults. Modifications for each and every pose are offered if you cannot do a particular pose or you can only go to the place in the pose that is right for your body. It is a beautiful all body breath and movement class that will assist in maintaining flexibility, agility and balance. We work on the muscular part of the body. It is important to move parts of the body that have arthritis, help control motor skills for Parkinson's disease, also for Dementia this is brain work. Keep all parts of the body moving for optimal health.
