- Discover simple strategies for healthy eating
- Engage in fun activities and cooking demonstrations
We also teach a weekly workshop series using the Everybody Loves Line Dancing Curriculum, where participants:
-
- Engage in fun and engaging exercise that is low-impact and accessible to people of all abilities
- Move and interact with others without the need for a dance partner
- Learn simple nutrition concepts and recipes to improve health
Duration: 60 minutes per workshop, once a week over six consecutive weeks (duration can vary by site)
