About the Class
“Carry yourself like a dancer!”… with a new workout developed by retired professional dancer, Kate Leland that she uses to keep strong and active. This class will combine BALLET for posture and balance, graceful, low impact CARDIO for stamina and coordination and FITNESS for strength – all to fun, upbeat music. No turns or jumps means it is easy on the joints. Kate taught Ballet at the Center adult classes right here at the Community Center in the late 2000s and is happy to be back to share her knowledge and passion with her community.
Required Supplies

You may cancel by phone or email and we will gladly offer you a refund or credit toward a future class. If you cancel with less than 10 days’ notice, we will not be able to provide refunds, due to our contractual obligations and material purchases for each class.
