Floor Barre® 60+

Course with Joseph P. Cooksey

This course is open to all ages, but is tailored to seniors aged 60 and over. FLOOR-BARRE® is suitable for dance enthusiasts with and without previous dance knowledge and trains strength and body control in a gentle and therapeutic way. As a dance technique, FLOOR-BARRE® is particularly suitable for people who want to increase their everyday range of motion and helps prevent health problems such as joint pain, arthritis and osteoporosis. The training shifts gravity to the floor and thus protects the joints while at the same time stretching tense muscles. FLOOR-BARRE® helps to improve well-being and body awareness in everyday life and is accessible and beneficial for every dance level.
