Improve cardio fitness, muscle tone, posture and flexibility  

If you like dance and you want to try a new style for added variety, Chair Dance is a solution you might like. Beginners and advanced dancers stretch and strengthen muscles in a gentle, fun way. This class generally appeals to older people or people with injury who need chair support to stand upright.  

Chair Dance is a fun way to work your body, especially if you have any issues with balance, standing for long periods, etc. You’ll begin with stretching exercises to warm up your muscles. You will use a chair as a prop to sit on or to stand and hold onto while you perform various movements with your legs, feet, arms, hands and core. Light weights, small balls and bands may be used. Come and improve your cardio fitness, muscle tone, posture and flexibility while grooving to the music.   

The class helps members build physical strength and improve balance through the use of their major muscle groups. Other benefits you are likely to see include more functional stability and body awareness.
