NEW Growing Old, Getting Strong

This program is fitness like you have never seen it. Rather than a boring, obligation based, unproductive exercise program, Growing Old Getting Strong will be fun, purpose driven and more productive than anything you have done before, and it will give you the keys to unlock the door that stands between you and re-learning the joy that movement can bring. Designed by an older adult for older adults these classes will put you back in touch with your body and give you the tools to move better and feel better. I emphasize better before more and show you how to find the intensity in simplicity. My goal is to enable you to regain the excitement that freedom of movement can bring and take that excitement into your daily life. Michael Campi. Wildwood Park. Meet at the covered picnic tables.

Fencing

Let’s bring out the champion that exists inside all kids and adults through the Olympic sport and art of fencing! In a fun yet challenging way, new students will be introduced to the sport of fencing while experienced students will continue to refine their skills.

The intermediate class will also focus on what it takes to become a competitive fencer. Close-toed shoes and pants that cover the entire leg are required (yoga or sweatpants are best). Required equipment: mask, jacket, glove, chest protector, and weapon. Some equipment is available to borrow; students must have their own equipment after 2 months. No exceptions.

Perfect for first-time dancers ‘with two left feet’ or experienced dancers getting back into the Swing of things. We’ll start with the basics of each dance, such as Rumba, Foxtrot, and Jitterbug, and build from there. Each week will focus on a specific dance and will build upon movements and combos that are compatible with other dances. This class will teach a variety of patterns for each dance with an emphasis on leading and following. This philosophy gives dancers the freedom to adapt to new partners and engage even if they missed a class. This ensures you can learn at your own pace and won’t fall behind.
