“Recently I was fortunate to attend a session of Ruth Davidson Hahn’s Contemporary Dance for the Agless and Unstoppable classes. Don’t let the words “Contemporary Dance” intimidate you! If a friend hadn’t encouraged me to try one class I would have been scared away by those words because I am NOT a dancer! The movements Ruth teaches include lots of reaching and stretching which are beneficial to almost everyone. Ruth is a ray of sun, always encouraging, supportive, and genuinely excited by the progress her students make. She has designed these classes to accommodate people with various levels of mobility. Ruth encourages students to participate at their individual level of comfort and students can remain seated or hold the backs of chairs for stability. Our class included students with a wide range of physical limitations, from little or none to fairly significant. We often expressed how much better we felt at the end of class, and for days afterward! I wish these classes were available continuously. If you’ve reached a certain age, do yourself a favor and enroll in a session of Contemporary Dance for the Ageless and Unstoppable when it’s offered. You’ll be glad you did!”    Laurie Tavlin, Contemporary Dance for the Ageless and Unstoppable Participant, Willard Community Center

“Contemporary Dance for the Ageless and Unstoppable is what seniors need to help them get up and get moving! It is not only fun, you decide if you want to sit or stand during class. It is a class for seniors of all abilities or disabilities. Whatever you are comfortable with! The routines are short, done to music that is familiar to us “oldies.” Steps and movements are easy to learn. I was worried that my back would really hurt after the first class, but it was just the opposite. It hurt less. The old saying “move it or lose it” is so true. None of us are Fred Astaire or Ginger Rogers, but I never saw Fred or Ginger beat their chests and yell like Tarzan, which we got to do! Ruth, the instructor, is an absolute GEM!! I can hardly wait for another class to begin!”    Jacque R, Contemporary Dance for the Ageless and Unstoppable Participant, Willard Community Center

“I cannot say enough positive about this class. Ruth is a wonderful, kind and knowledgeable teacher and was very adept at sharing her dance background and experience. The dances were perfect for different levels. And in addition it was really, really fun. Everyone was obviously enjoying themselves. I really hope to have the opportunity to take another class with Ruth.”    Mary Svoboda, Contemporary Dance for the Ageless and Unstoppable Participant, Willard Community Center

“I stretched muscles I wasn’t aware that I used everyday.”    Roxanne T, Contemporary Dance for the Ageless and Unstoppable Participant, Willard Community Center
