LEWISTON — Museum L-A has scheduled its next Movement at the Museum classes for October, November and December in the museum’s gallery at 35 Canal St.
Movement at the Museum is a series of casual classes offering a variety of rhythm and dance practices, according to a news release from the museum.
Classes are set for 5-6 p.m. on the final Friday of each month, unless otherwise noted; no prior experience is needed.
“This concept was suggested by members of our community, and our first three sessions were very well received. We’re thrilled to be continuing the program so that visitors can experience the museum in a different way and try a new form of movement at the same time,” Executive Director Rachel Ferrante said.
The next three evenings in the series, offered to the public free of charge, are sponsored by Emerson Chevrolet.
• Friday, Oct. 28: Ballroom Dancing — This class is designed for dancers who want to better understand how the human skeleton works to produce beautiful and efficient dancing. Based on the Feldenkrais method, Sergei Slussky of Aquarius New Age Playground will teach principles of dynamic alignment and functional movement that applies to all Ballroom, Latin and Swing dancing.
• Friday, Nov. 18: Tai Chi — Joe Harrigan, owner of Great Falls Taiji, will lead the group in an evening of Tai Chi. Using traditional practices, Tai Chi can help develop core strength, improve flexibility, balance and immune function, manage pain and reduce stress.
• Friday, Dec. 16: Afro Beats — Join Veeva Banga for a high energy evening of Afro Beats. Afro Beats mixes popular African dance moves and hip hop in an upbeat and unique style that gives participants the opportunity to learn a different way to move their body. This will be a beginner-level workshop.
