Shake Up Your Fitness Routine: Belly Dancing for Sun Lakes Seniors

“Shimmy & Shine”: Zohar’s 40 years of belly dance wisdom comes to Sun Lakes seniors.

This fall, Sun Lakes seniors are invited to discover the joy and health benefits of belly dancing with nationally acclaimed instructor Zohar. Beginning Tuesday, Nov. 5, Sun Lakes Country Club will host “Shimmy & Shine,” a seven-week belly dancing course tailored specifically for women aged 55 and above, in the Mirror Room.

“Belly dancing is a celebration of life and movement that knows no age limit,” Zohar enthuses. “As a senior, I’ve discovered that this beautiful art form not only keeps us physically active but also ignites a renewed sense of confidence and joy. It’s amazing to see women rediscover their strength, grace, and vibrancy through dance.”

Multiple medical studies have concluded that rhythmic exercise done to music enhances cognitive function in older adults. With this in mind, each 60-minute belly dance class is thoughtfully structured to provide a comprehensive, low-impact workout.

Participants will find a supportive environment that accommodates all fitness levels. No prior dance experience is necessary, and chairs are available for those who need additional support.

Classes will be held every Tuesday from 1 to 2 p.m., Nov. 5 through Dec. 17. A package of seven classes is available for $56, with drop-in sessions offered at $10 per class, space permitting.

Don’t miss this opportunity to enhance your physical well-being, boost cognitive function, and unleash your creative spirit. Join Zohar’s “Shimmy & Shine” series and discover the transformative power of belly dancing in a nurturing, age-appropriate setting.
