Dancing Through Life and Age-Friendly Event

Taught by Laura Karlin, a Bowdoinham resident with 20 years' experience as a teaching artist.

Dancing Through Life is a vibrant, community-centered class that brings the joy, artistry and holistic benefits of dance to anyone, especially seniors and their care partners and family members. It incorporates neuro-specialized strategies into a dance class that boosts cognitive care and mitigates physical symptoms of aging through creative and evidence-based practices. 

Physical benefits: strength, mobility, balance, cognitive flexibility.

Emotional benefits: joy, creativity, we'll definitely laugh together.

Community benefits: dancing together makes life more fun.

The first half of the class is seated, and the second half is standing with equally engaging, valid options for those who remain seated.
