Dance is a joyful form of self-expression that is everyone's birthright. But dance doesn't have to be standing to be satisfying! This workshop series allows you to explore different styles of creative movement without having to leave your chair, offering a exciting, supportive alternative to higher-impact dance classes. Hip hop, salsa, jazz, bellydance, lyrical jazz, even ballet... these dance forms can be yours, whatever your size or ability. With specially designed warm-ups, strengthening routines, and stretching sessions, these workshops will increase strength and flexibility, enhance your muscle coordination, and support you in discovering or rediscovering your own grace and expressiveness.

Introduction to Jazz Dance
Every Thursday * 7:15 to 8:15 p.m.
Cambridge Family YMCA, 820 Massachusetts Ave., Cambridge MA
Fee: $15/drop-in, $50/month if paid the first class of the month
Instructor: Marina Wolf Ahmad
As a genre, jazz dance includes almost anything, from smooth lyrical sweeps to sultry salsa-inspired steps to the high kicks and brash hips that permeate Broadway dance musicals. This beginning class will introduce you to the basics--steps, kicks, turns--and give you the confidence to keep exploring jazz dance. We will be learning a new routine, so bring comfortable shoes (sneakers or jazz shoes) and lots of water, and be ready to MOVE!
