CLASS DESCRIPTIONS:
Arab-American Fusion with Megan Morrow:
Informed by traditions of North Africa and the Arab world in dialog with American Electronica and Hip-Hop, these movements are enhanced by the world's best international experimental funk-fusion music.
Pilates with Karen Lee (Pilates Central, Lenox):
Experience a class based on the fundamentals and technique that Joseph Pilates developed over 100 years ago. Karen will teach the foundational movements and guide the class through a 'flow' of postures which develop strength, flexibility, and balance. Through learning how to move the spine correctly and training the core muscles of the body (the "powerhouse"), Pilates improves posture, relieves pain and tightness, lengthens muscles and creates greater range of motion.
Swing with Heather Gehring and Lou Brock:
Putting the fun in fundamental, Lou and Heather teach how the basic Swing patterns, music interpretation and character are your way to truly exciting Swing dancing for years to come.
Yoga with Leslie Nelson:
This sampler yoga class will introduce you to simple and fun warm-ups leading into more traditional yoga postures in a vinyasa or "flow" style. Come stretch, breathe and salute the sun.
Zumba® with Sharon Scace:
Zumba® fuses hypnotic Latin rhythms and easy-to-follow moves to create a one-of-a-kind fitness program. The routines feature interval training sessions where fast and slow rhythms and resistance training are combined to tone and sculpt your body while burning fat. Add some Latin flavor and international zest into the mix and you've got a Zumba® class.
Families Dance Together with Jeff Bliss:
Whoever you think of as part of your family, come together and dance together. In this class there is movement for everyone. Bring your curiosity about how dances are created and how to get the most out of your ability to move. Together as a family you will create movement phrases and sequences that arise out of your stories and observations of the world around you.
