Solid Silver Dancers

$55

with Cathy Roe, certified instructor

Calendar Sep 10, 2025 at 11:30 am, runs for 10 weeks

This cardio dance class teaches a vocabulary of dance steps and styles ( 40s, 50's, 60's, disco, Broadway, etc.), which are choreographed into "dances." The first 50 minutes is dedicated to dancing and feels like a dance workout that is easy on the knees and made especially for us seniors. But still fun and sassy! After the first few classes, a 20–25-minute rehearsal will follow for those who want to be in the performance versions of the dances. (You can just do the first 50 minutes if you don't want to be in the performances) Video link describing this class at https://youtu.be/v8X-XJfEM9w.
