A

FROM THE MAYOR

When many people hear the words “COME TOGETHER,” they instantly recall the title track of Abbey Road, The Beatles famous 1969 album. Others of a younger generation may think of the lyrics to the 2020 similarlytitled song by the band United Now.

Come with me, feel the rush

Let's get close and share the love Take my hand, it's yours to hold Come together, don't let go

Similar to how songs created 50+ years apart can evoke comparable feelings, in my mind, the words “COME TOGETHER” have the ability to link dozens of churches, hundreds of businesses, generations of people, and, most importantly, one community…South Holland.

As we continue our “Coming Together 2030” initiative, come with us, your village administration, and feel the rush of what South Holland has to offer now and for the future. There is an energetic and progressive synergy created when our leaders and residents work together to make our community the best in the Chicago Southland.

Along those lines, this Fall, I encourage you to come together at one of our most well-known gathering spots, The South Holland Community Center (SHCC). Whether you aim to meet your fitness goals, celebrate a family milestone, or participate in a special event, the SHCC is the place for you. With recently completed upgrades/ renovations (and more to come), this facility serves as a focal point for so much positivity and connectedness in our village.

Enjoy perusing this edition of the FIT Book, and enjoy your quality time spent with family and friends at the Community Center.

So, let’s come together. Hold on tight, and enjoy the ride!

BALLET FOR YOUTH/ADULT

This class, designed for both youth (age 13+) and adults, proposes a typical ballet class structure, following the wellrenowned methods of “Vaganova” and “The Royal Academy of Dancing” academic ballet technique.The class will include Barre sequences with the following Center segments: Adagio, Allegro, Grand Allegro.The class structure will adapt to the different age and level of the participanting students. Why taking a ballet class is good at any age? Ballet is a weight-bearing form of exercise which strengthens muscles, promotes healthy bones and burns calories. Because ballet uses the full range of muscles, it is also great for cognitive functions such as coordination and concentration.Being an art form, Ballet is great for posture, balance, elegance, aesthetics, but it can also reduce the symptoms of depression, developing the individual expression for a higher level of self-esteem. And it is fun!
