$FREE |
|
Instructor/Details:
The Foothills Arts Council is excited to continue offering
Dancing Women, an interpretive belly dancing class for
exercise and fun. Led by Susan Fulcher.
As a
dancer I strive not for perfection, but to create a sense of
joy, positive energy and to inspire confidence. Age and size
is not a factor in this program. The use of your
imagination, determination and a little bit of wiggle is all
you need. I am pleased to offer with our dance a meditative
warm up and relaxation session at the conclusion of each
dance class.
(Dancers should wear comfortable clothing and bring
water. Like any Exercise Program you should consult a
Physician if health issues could be a problem with a
mild aerobic exercise.)
Dancers Women
meets the first Tuesday of every month. Offered in the upstairs
gallery of the FAC building (129 Church St., Elkin), space
for this class is limited so sign up now!
