Looking to dance like you used to — but with some modifications for age/injury?
I’m Jill, a lifelong dancer who spent years dancing recreationally in Waterloo and Toronto as an adult after my competitive dance career ended following high school.
I’m running a choreography-focused weekly class for adults who were former dancers. Choreography has modifications based on skill level or injuries, and dances won’t contain big jumps or turning sequences — but if you want to add them in or challenge yourself, you can! Styles include lyrical, modern, and/or jazz.
Come explore dance in a no-pressure class meant to give you a physical and emotional release each week through feel-good movement.
