Start the New Year off on the right foot … and the left!

Beginning Thursday, Jan. 4, the Elmwood Branch of the West Hartford Senior Center will be offering The Silver Barre. This basic ballet class will be taught by West Hartford resident Susan Fay, who holds an M.A. in dance education from Northwestern University and has taught dance for more than 30 years.

So, if you have a tutu tucked away in the back of your closet, or if a viewing of the Nutcracker is always part of your holiday season, come join us! Or perhaps you would just like to stand a little taller and walk through life with a little more grace and elegance. This class is focused on barre work to lengthen and strengthen the spine, increase leg and hip strength, and develop foot articulation. No tutu required!

Classes begin Thursday, Jan. 4, 2 p.m. The first session is 6 weeks and the cost is $48 for members of the senior center.
