SUMMARY:In-Person Drop-In Workshop: Brain Fitness!
DESCRIPTION:Physical exercise is good for the brain\, and it can be even more beneficial when it includes “dual-tasking.” \nThis simply means adding an extra cognitive challenge to a physical movement\, like learning a new dance step or solving puzzles while walking. \nIn this in-person workshop\, you’ll learn and practice a wide range of dual-tasking strategies that are simple\, fun and invigorating for both the body and mind\, with modifications for all levels. Choose your favorites and make them part of your ongoing brain fitness routine! \nThis is a drop-in workshop and no registration or special fee is required; you just need admission to Providence Rec Center.

SUMMARY:Let's WANCE again! Dancing while walking on the National Mall!
DESCRIPTION:Let’s WANCE again!! No\, that’s not a typo\, it’s a combination of walking and freestyle dancing that is stress-busting\, friendship-building\, creative\, healthy and inspiring. \nThis event is organized through Finding Female Friends > 50 (I’m the volunteer chapter lead for the DC area) but women below 50 are also cordially invited! \nWe collaborate on our favorite songs for the playlist\, walk and talk together and just move our bodies any way we want. “It’s so liberating!” as one of the participants said last time. \nWANCE began in the Midwest during the pandemic and we were excited to bring it to Washington DC. Here’s the original WANCE website by Gabrielle Lulloff. \nAnd Gabrielle says best what Wancing is all about (from the website): \nWHAT IS WANCING?\n– Dancing as you walk\n– The art of letting loose\n– Spreading good vibrations & joy\n– Putting that pep in your step\n– Exercising your mind\, body and spirit\n– Taking care of yourself\n– A different way of meditating\n– Not caring what other people think\n– Creating an expression of movement\n– A way of meeting other advocates of fun \nHere’s an article about it to learn even more. \nOur details: \n\nWe’ll meet just before 11 am on Sunday\, May 18 at the large map just outside the Smithsonian Metro Station on the National Mall.\nPlease include your cell number in your RSVP so we can be sure to find each other. We’ll message you a few days before the event to confirm and be sure we’re in contact.\nWe’ll carry two linked Bluetooth speakers to play music that gets us moving!\nRequests for the playlist VERY welcome\, nothing with “explicit” warnings though! Send song ideas to patricia@fierceafter45.com or post them below\, thank you!\nNo dance experience required\, no choreographed steps (although you are welcome to follow what we do). Just move and express yourself with movement to music. No worries if you have mobility challenges\, we will adjust to everyone’s speed as needed!\nCreative clothing\, funny hats\, political statements\, etc. are very welcome.\nWe’ll WANCE up and down the paths and green spaces of the National Mall. We’ll WANCE for about an hour\, but we will make loops so people can break off and return to Metro as needed.\nA museum visit afterward is a great idea!!\nYou may bring guests (of any age/gender)\, let me know!\n\nLet’s WANCE together as women supporting each other for stress relief\, healthy physical movement\, and connection. We need it! \nEmail me to join\, hope to see you!
