Time to Dance Offers Three New Classes

Time to Dance sessions, offered in Highland Park and online, foster well-being and community, as well as preventing falls and increasing strength, reaction time and flexibility. The physical and mental benefits of staying active as we age are well-doc umented, and what better way to reap the benefits of an active lifestyle than by dancing.

In addition to their regular schedule of ballet, modern and fitness dance, Pilarre (Pilates with ballet or modern barre tech nique) as well as beginning and intermediate tap classes are being offered for the first time this month.

Time to Dance is the brainchild of Lynne Belsky, M.D., a former dancer with the Joffrey Ballet, and dance instructor Lisa Gold, owner of the Highland Park Northshore School of Dance. They offer dance-based movement classes to adults 50 and older.

Location: North Shore School of Dance, 505 Laurel Ave., Highland Park. For more information, schedules and to register for classes, visit Time-To-Dance.org. See ads on page 33, in the Community Resource Guide and in the Business Directory at NAChicago.com.
