Together we teach Dance,
Lite Dance, and StrongStep. All
programs are one-hour classes that include flexibility and abdominal work,
light weight training, aerobics, and cooldown. Dance is highly
choreographed, and progressive. (Lite Dance is the very low-impact version.) StrongStep is more subtly choreographed and
designed to be drop-in...but it is very much like dancing on a step. What unites all of Jacki's programs is musical variety,
working at a personal level, absence of competition, meeting new people,
and having fun.
Your first class is always free for the
trying. There is never any pressure to register. Class fees
are always reasonable and vary slightly depending on the rents of the facilities involved.
There may be specials! Interested people should call or e-mail the specific
instructors.
