The plan for dancing in slow flow WITH social distancing OUTSIDE wearing our masks, using hand sanitizer, bringing your own water bottle and 20g+ low-fat snack, towel, yoga mats, hip scarves, veils and zils is almost a GO in many parks across WNY after my husband's recovery from surgery. Maybe by then we can get back to the studio AND I have fantastic news, the new house has 1/2 acre of outdoor space for us to practice movements and stretching following proper protocol. AND n...ot far from our old North Java class, a MUCH better (& cleaner) space is available for us when WNY is up & running again. PLEASE stretch at home. I'll be posting an online donation based course very soon. until then, play the music, dance the dance, clean, repair and sort your costuming. we WILL dance again. Yours in dance, Oksana B

A nice email arrived today, to clarify, no experience in dance or group fitness is required for this class. Everyone follows as best they can, but I break the technique down before we get to the low impact cardio part of the program. It is highly suitable for seniors and those seeking extra physical movement that could help with managing stress, mood and pain when combined with a doctor's care . We have all levels of dancers, some who are just beginning and who have been with our group for a long time, we just focus on fun and whole body wellness
