T'ai Chi Chih - Beginners Class
Joy through movement and meditation in motion. Harvard Woman’s Health Letter calls Tai Chi “Medicine in Motion” and lists its numerous health benefits. The graceful, gentle movements improve physical balance and enhance spiritual balance. We will learn and practice the 19 Tai Chi Chih disciplines and several classical Qigong forms. Wear gym clothes and soft-soled shoes.
Line Dancing: Beginning 1
The Beginner 1 class is for those who have completed the Starter class or for those who are familiar with line dancing. Basic line dance steps, rhythms, and step patterns will be more complex than in the Starter class, but will be easy to learn. This will help memory and coordination, so you will get both physical and mental exercise. This class is for guys and gals, and you don’t need a partner. You may bring water.
Line Dancing: Beginning 2
This class will build on what was taught in the Beginning 1 class. The line dances in this class are more complex than the dances in the Beginning 1 class, but they are still fun and relatively easy. Line dancing helps to build memory and coordination with physical and mental exercise. This class is for guys and gals, and you don’t need a partner. You may bring water.
Line Dancing: Intermediate
Intermediate line dancing is for those who have completed the Beginning 2 Line Dance class. This class introduces more challenging dances. We will start slowly and keep adding to our repertoire, working up to the intermediate level. You’ll have lots of fun learning new dances. You may bring water.
Strength Training, an Introduction
Many people shy away from strength training, thinking it takes too much effort – but it doesn’t have to. If your doctor has been encouraging you to get started, here’s your chance to be a good patient and give it a try. Bring a pair of 2- or 3- lb. weights (or even 2 cans of soup), a mat, and a resistance band. If you don’t have a band, they’ll be available for just $4. Join this introductory class as we put on some music and spend around 35 minutes exploring a simple, fun strength-training routine designed to build muscle and support bone health.
Line Dancing: Oldies but Goodies
This class is a combination of dances previously learned in the Beginner and Intermediate dance classes. All dances will be reviewed (not taught) with a variety of music and rhythms beginning with very easy dances to the intermediate level. If you know the basic steps in line dancing, you will love this class. Please join us for lots of fun, exercise, and dancing. Bring water if desired.
Progressive Kayaking with Pocatello Parks & Recreation
This class is suitable for beginners or for those out of practice. The first session we’ll paddle on flat water and the second session will be on a section of the Portneuf river.

NO discount for your own gear, you must have current invasive species sticker on your kayak. Note: when paddling an inflatable kayak, you will get wet!
Line Dancing: Advanced
If you like a little more challenge to your line dancing, we encourage those who have completed the Beginning/Intermediate classes and are familiar with most line dance steps, to join our Advanced line dance class. We teach new dances and review/reteach oldies and then incorporate different songs/rhythms. These dances are geared toward introducing additional steps/turns to slightly more complicated dances. Bring water if desired.
