-
ONLINE REGISTRATION FOR THIS CLASS IS CLOSED. Please contact the OLLI Office for assistance.
Between 1900 and 1999, U.S. life expectancy soared from 47 to 79 years--an unprecedented leap in human history. This class will delve into the profound impact of these added years, drawing on medical and sociological research as well as our own personal stories. Together we will explore both the promise and the complexity of longer livers. We'll also survey the resources here in Lexington to support healthy, purposeful aging. By the end of our twelve weeks, participants will be better equipped to navigate and embrace life later chapters with insight and intention.

- Move to the World's Music
-
ONLINE REGISTRATION FOR THIS CLASS IS CLOSED. Please contact the OLLI Office for assistance.
The music comes from another time and place – the haunting violin of a Romani tune, the vitality of a Cossack dance, the kind of rhythmic melody that made Zorba so Greek. Move to the World’s Music promotes world community through dance. Get a gentle workout while enjoying the favorite music and social dance of the Balkans, Europe, the Americas, Israel and beyond. Participants will learn some of the easier and simpler ethnic dances. They may range from slower rhythms to more aerobic and dynamic steps. Dances are done in lines, circles and individually. No prior dance experience is necessary – just a pair of comfortable shoes.
