Reach For It! Registration now open

Reach For It, a free 11-week program of dance for elders and persons with Parkinson’s offered by The Moving Company, is now registering participants. The 2019 Fall Session will happen at New Cassel Retirement Center, 900 N. 90th St. Omaha, NE 68114. Classes are Fridays from September 13 – November 22 from 3:30 - 4:30 p.m.

Participants will exercise and have fun using the fluidity of dance to work on balance, strength, movement, and coordination. This class will integrate multiple styles of dance and live music to engage the mind and body. Reach for It combines the easy-going interaction of a group with movement tailored to the individual participant's level of mobility. Individualized support is provided through collaboration between UNO's The Moving Company and the UNO chapter of the National Student Speech Language Hearing Association (UNO NSSLHA). Family, friends and caregivers are encouraged to accompany participants in movements.

11-week session is FREE! Space is limited. View the flier >>
