SitFitBallet: Balletfitness for elderly
Classes focused on memory, coordination and mobility for our senior citizens! (60+ years old)
Meditation-based ballet class targeted to improve senior’s memory, flexibility, strength, coordination, mobility and reduce risk of falls. Senior residents sit on a chair for about 25 to 45 minutes depending on the group’s level. They follow along with the SitFitBallet instructor together with the specific music that goes with each exercise type. SFB works on strengthening the core and back muscles, face, neck and feet and hands.
Seniors may remain sitting or standing up depending on their bodies ability and the flow of the class.
Levels
SitFitBallet has 2 different levels:
The most popular is the SitFitBallet 1 for seniors with or without dementia and it focuses on coordination using musicality and tempo as a tool.
SitFitBallet 2 is designed for seniors who enjoy a more intense fitness training in combination with classical musical and ballet steps that might be able to be performed for little demo shows to the other residents and/or families.
