Winter & Spring 2016 Activity Guide

Winter - Spring 2016 Activity Guide

Resident Registration Begins Monday, December 7, 2015 Bringing Family & Community together through recreation since 1934!

Welcome to WA-WM Recreation & Community Services

Dear Members of the West Allis-West Milwaukee Community,

Wisconsin winters can be beautiful, fun filled and long. Instead of spending your winter months dreading gray skies and slippery streets, think about joining one of our many Recreation and Community Service opportunities.

Our Recreation and Community Service Department offers individual and family opportunities to participate in sports, crafts, fitness, enrichment and other wellness programs. These activities keep young and old alike engaged in learning new things as the winter months meld into spring. As you think about making a commitment to yourself with your New Year’s resolution, think about joining a fitness class where members of your community are there to help each other to reach their goals.

We believe you will find that our Activity Guide has something for everyone. If you have ideas for additional offerings, please contact our Recreation and Community Service Department directly at 604-4900.

We hope to see you in one of our programs soon so you can “Keep Calm and Winter On”.

Martin G. Lexmond, Ed.D. Superintendent

T’ai Chi and Qi Gong Practices for Health and Wellbeing

T’ai Chi Fundamentals

Adult Fitness

Whether you are a beginner looking for a simplified approach to learning T’ai Chi or if you have practiced T’ai Chi previously, this Yang style lineage program is designed for you. Whether you are in your 20’s or your 70’s, an athlete or a couch potato, in peak form or dealing with painful and limiting health conditions, you can enjoy the benefits of this program for many years to come. We will begin by learning the program’s basic movement patterns which prepare students for doing T’ai Chi, as well as benefit posture, coordination, centering, and balance. Once students are comfortable with basic movement patterns, they begin to learn the form, which gradually becomes more complex as we progress in the program, building on what has previously been taught.
