Moving for Life!
Call it Dance, Call it
Exercise… call it FUN!
All classes taught to live
music!
The Senior Moving for Life! program has been designed by Mary Miller to provide elder residents of Pittsburgh and Allegheny County with movement exercises that will help prolong self-sustained mobility and enhance the overall state of health by increased blood flow, improved muscle tone and enhanced joint mobility. Within a context of a dance movement and rhythm, the exercises focus—in a sequential way – on overall body movement, arms and legs, joints, neck and head movement and overall rhythmic activity.
Moving
for Life! is a series of classes developed by Mary
Miller, Founder and Artistic Director of MillerDANCE, which
brings together the techniques of creative movement, modern
dance & psychomotor therapy. An invigorating
movement program for all ages, all capacities, and the
program has been developed in a way for participants to be
integral in the composition of the class. Everyone and anyone
can participate. There are no age or ability requirements.
Artistic
Director, Mary Miller is a certified Psychomotor Therapist
through New York Medical College.
The senior program can be readily adapted
to meet the needs and interests of persons at different
capacities of physical activity.
It focuses on seniors who are still capable of active
movement (with or without walkers, canes, wheel chairs, etc.),
but it is adaptable to people whose physical movement is
highly restricted. It
can be used for those who live in an assisted living or
skilled nursing facilities or those who live independently and
are able to travel in order to participate in leisure time
activity.
Moving for Life! exercises are designed for participants to have fun, to laugh and to interact with others in the group. The psychological good feelings are a component of the overall program.
