Life Dances On for Cancer Survivors and Their Partners

Life Dances On is an introduction to social dancing that is free of charge for cancer survivors and their partners.  Dancing relieves stress, reduces tension, promotes self-confidence and is a great outlet for communicating feelings.  Dancing can help you reconnect with your spouse and introduce you to a caring network of friends who understand the issues you face and the hurdles you’ve overcome.  

You will start out learning the basic social dance steps, patterns and motions.  All levels of dancing skill are welcome. 

The traditional push and pull of lead and follow have been modified and you will learn how to work with what you can do in terms of strength, flexibility and balance.

The patterns are kept simple so there’s not a lot to memorize.   As you practice the dances, you develop muscle memory and rhythm. 

The dances are held weekly on Tuesdays except on holidays.  Please register
