A Music and Movement Class for Seniors
This class is based on the method of Eurhythmics, developed by Emile Jacques Dalcroze in Switzerland in the early 20th century. The method involves learning music and rhythm through movement exercises.
What happens in the class? The class begins with seated stretching exercises and progresses to full body movements always working with a musical connection. Activities include locomotor movements with direction changes, adjusting to different tempos (speeds) in the music, staying in step with the music while using the upper and lower body in coordination, playing rhythm sticks and moving with balls and other props.
What are the benefits of the class? This class will improve body awareness, focus, concentration and balance. In addition, there is a marked improvement in walking gait.
