BalletMet Wellness Workshop
Tuesday, October 3 @ 10:00 am
(class size limited to 20)

This interactive wellness workshop focuses on exploring dance as a method for promoting health at all ages. We will begin with a brief presentation on the benefits of dance training as part of physical health, mental well-being, and community building. We will then transition into an open level movement class that is inspired by ballet and contemporary dance aesthetics with options for both seated and standing work. The workshop will finish with a discussion on resources for continuing practice. We welcome movers of all skills and backgrounds, no previous dance experience is necessary.  Participants can expect to gain information on how to incorporate dance as a part of an active and healthy lifestyle.
