Community Calendar

Aging Gracefully is a vibrant, senior-friendly dance program designed to promote mobility, balance, strength, and overall well-being in a comfortable, supportive daytime environment. Over the course of four weeks, participants engage in gentle, adaptive exercises—both seated and supported standing—drawing inspiration from modern, ballet, and social dance styles. Each week builds on the last, allowing participants to steadily develop strength, flexibility, coordination, and confidence. Dance movements help build strength, flexibility, posture, and coordination, while also reducing fall risk. Gentle aerobic activity promotes cardiovascular health and joint mobility, while stimulating mood-boosting endorphins. The atmosphere is warm and inclusive, encouraging self-expression, social connection, and a sense of community. No prior dance experience is required—just wear comfortable clothing and bring a water bottle.

Wednesdays 11:30-12:30 – 2/3-2/24
Registration Required - $49

Our month long workshop is for anyone who has ever wanted to learn ballet , but felt like they were too old, too inexperienced, or too out of shape, to step into the studio. At NPD’s Recliners to Relevé Workshop, there are no teens wearing Taylor Swift t-shirts with their legs wrapped around their heads. No intimidating crowded rooms where everyone already seems to know the warm-up.

Join us for four days of friendly, fun, informative dance training in a non-competitive environment geared towards adult learners. The majority of our students range in age from early 30s to late 50s, but anyone 18 and older is welcome to attend.
