The C.W. Avery Family YMCA is excited to offer a series of pop-up specialty fitness classes this summer! See below for details.
Belly Dance
Dates: June 19, July 24, August 21
Time: 6-7 p.m.
Cost: $5 per class
Learn choreography to a specific song taught by a dance teacher. You’ll achieve spinal flexibility, improve balance, and gain a stronger core while learning to isolate various muscle groups. Dance to beautiful music as we drill technique and respectfully touch on culture from many countries in the Middle East and North Africa. The class dances barefoot (socks or split-sole dance shoes are fine, no heels please) with form-fitting comfy clothes. Bring a hip scarf or borrow one!
No previous experience is needed!
Human Reformer
Dates: July 1 and August 12
Time: Noon-1 p.m.
Cost: $10 per class
This low-impact, mat-based Pilates workout uses resistance bands (often FlexKords) and bodyweight to mimic traditional reformer machine exercises. It focuses on core strength, postural alignment, and muscular control, allowing participants to use their own bodies as the “reformer” for a portable, cost-effective, full-body workout.
