Now is the time to sign up for an upcoming season of dance and movement classes. Movement is an integral part of personal and physical development, fostering the obvious physical attributes of increased strength, flexibility, muscle tone and balance, along with a spectrum of other attributes such as stress release, emotional and social development, and a positive increase in self-esteem that comes from new-found levels of poise, confidence, grace, agility and dedication.
Jacques D'Amboise, founder of the National Dance Institute, said: "Dance is your pulse, your heartbeat, your breathing. It's the rhythm of your life." Take advantage of our region's dance and movement opportunities—studio information is below.
