OUR CLASSES

Find the Right Way to Move for You

From Soul Line Dancing and Cardio Drumming to Chair Dance, balance, strength, and active aging fitness, J&J Soulful Steps offers fun and welcoming ways to keep moving at every stage of life.

SOUL LINE DANCING

Move, Dance & Connect

Our Soul Line Dancing classes combine movement, music, fitness, and fun in a welcoming social setting. Whether you're learning your first steps or building on dances you already know, there's a class level designed to help you learn, move, and enjoy yourself.

No partner is required. Classes range from beginner through more experienced levels, making it easy to find the right place to start.

CARDIO DRUMMING

Feel the Beat. Get Moving.

Cardio Drumming turns music and rhythm into a fun, energetic workout. Using drumsticks and exercise balls, participants move, reach, tap, and drum along to upbeat music while working the upper body, core, coordination, and endurance.

The movements can be adapted for different abilities, and participants can take part standing or seated. No drumming experience is needed—just come ready to move and have fun.

CHAIR DANCING

Dance, Move & Have Fun — Seated

Chair Dancing brings the joy of music and movement into an accessible seated format. Participants follow fun dance movements while working on coordination, mobility, rhythm, and range of motion.

It’s a great option for people who prefer or need seated movement, while still providing the energy, music, and social experience that make J&J classes fun.
