TUESDAYS IN MEDFORD at Springstep * COUNTRY WESTERN LINE DANCING FOR ACTIVE PEOPLE WITH PARKINSON'S: For those with Parkinson's, line dancing is a great exercise, as the dances have repetitive patterns done to music with a great beat, and utilize weight shifts, turns, and balance.

This will NOT be a progressive class, so it doesn't matter if you miss one; different dances will be taught each class. Start date: March 6
