Move to Music is a gentle, full body movement class that offers greater mobility, balance and posture. Class incorporates smooth, rhythmic moves done to a mix of classical, jazz and contemporary music. Good for all fitness levels.

This class is intended for DC Residents age 60 plus.

A lifelong love of dance and movement therapy led Ruth Barnes to become a fitness instructor in 1999. Ruth is certified by the American Council on Exercise as a Group Fitness Instructor and is also a certified Zumba and Zumba Gold Instructor. Her philosophy is that exercise should be fun, safe and accessible to everyone. Her goal is to welcome all participants to an enjoyable experience of movement.

We are delighted to be collaborating with the DC Public Libraries. Please try to attend classes if you sign up for them. If more folks sign up than space will allow, we will start issuing “tickets” to participants on a first-come first-serve basis to those who have registered through our system. Below is a waiver to which participants agree when they register for classes. Participate in exercise programs at your own risk.
