Come to this class to learn about the long-term health benefits of just moving! BeMovedŽ embraces the joy of dance with people of all movement abilities. Movement expressed through dance and music has a transformative power that enriches a person's well-being above and beyond the well-known physical fitness benefits. BeMovedŽ is a dance fitness experience that begins with easy-to-follow therapeutic movements that flow into dance styles inspired by a wide variety of musical genres.

The Mark Morris Dance Group (MMDG) has created the remarkably successful Dance for PDŽ Program. This innovative program was born from the idea that people with Parkinson's could benefit from the insight and specific techniques used by dancers to guide their own bodies and minds. This special two-part class will include an introductory lecture by the Dance for PDŽ Program Director and a live "movement" section led by an MMDG Teaching Artist for students to experience this unique program.

Want to experience art in a contemplative, meaningful way? Join us at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts for an hourlong session of 'slow looking,' a mindful approach to engaging with art. Together, we'll explore two works from the museum's permanent collection, allowing for a personal and immersive experience. There could be long periods of standing.
