Tai Chi
Originally developed in ancient China for self-defense, Tai Chi had evolved into a graceful form of exercise that’s now used to promote personal energy for self healing and wellbeing. Tai Chi includes rhythmic patterns of movement that are coordinated with breathing to help you build physical strength, balance, and reduce stress. Because Tai Chi is low impact, adult students are able to participate at a level suitable to their age and physical ability. Evening Classes will be held in the dance studio at AAC or outdoors in the Sculpture park (weather permitting).
