 “Stand On Your Own Two Feet:

Steady Balance and Movement”

with Judith Sachs, Anyone Can Dance, LLC

Wednesday, April 3, 2024 at 2:00 pm

In-Person in the MacColl Room

First Presbyterian Church, 201 S. 21st St.

We can remain balanced and moving throughout our lifespan if we have intention and awareness. Join Judith Sachs, movement specialist and martial artist, to find out how! This workshop will offer innovative ways to sit, rise, stand, and move, as well as practice being out of balance, so that we know where our center of gravity is. Learn easy exercises for body, eyes, and breath to give you self-confidence in sitting, standing, walking, and recovering from falls. 

 

Judith Sachs, a Penn’s Village member, is Founder and Director of ANYONE CAN DANCE® LLC, an adaptive movement program in Philadelphia, PA.
