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. They also engage your brain in a new activity. This will be a drop-in class; each week we will learn 2-3 dances. 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

            Times:  12-1 pm: Drop-in class; brown bag lunch afterwards

            Cost: $10 per class
