Community Classes
Empowered by Movement offers community classes that seamlessly blend in-person and virtual experiences, providing older adults with the flexibility to engage in creative movement, music, and the arts from the comfort of their own home or in a supportive group setting.
A joyful, music-filled community class where movement sparks energy, creativity, and connection. Move seated or standing — there’s no right or wrong here, just your way.
No experience required — just a willingness to try something new.

At age 89 years, this program has improved by leg strength, balance and memory. More important is to see the strength and determination of the others in the class. I am proud to be with them.

Lisa’s class is so much fun that it makes you forget your difficulties. Her creativity makes you want to move.

Empowered by Movement gave me confidence and joy. I went from a two-second balance to 55 seconds, haven’t fallen in over a year, and my memory now tests in the top 90% for my age group. Your work truly matters.

This is an amazing class. People show up every week even when they are struggling. There is no negativity, we show up even when our bodies are tired. The smiles are contagious.
