In celebration of June Pride, we’re offering an older adult program.

The Expressive and Social Body, participants experience the joys of dance and athletic movement in a context that extends their abilities but also protects them from strain or over-use. The use of theatre games may be of interest to some groups as well.

Max participants is 25.
