Rec Centre

Rec Centre

It's the third term, time to drum up abit of enthusiasm; go on—have a moving experience; put your fool m it, all that jazz. All kinds of dance are being taught this term at the Recreation Centre; on Mondays, a technique and creative dance session from 5.30 to 6.30. Then basic ballroom dance. 6.30 to 7.30. During the six week term learn the waltz, foxtrot, quickstep and cha-cha. Bring a friend, solo waltzing is no fun. On Tuesdays 5.30 to 7.30, the Scottish Country Dance Club meets in the Dance Room; try that one for a bit of ethnic dance, fun and fitness.

Sue Jordan teaches for Vic Dance Theatre on Wednesdays, fresh from the Impulse Dance Company tour; Sue will be teaching a choreography and movement class 4-5, and then 5-6.30 an advanced technique and choreography class. Sue also used to teach dance at Auckland University.

On Fridays, Jennifer Shennan takes a movement exploration class, emphasising rythmn and relaxation All these classes are, of course, free to students.

This term sees a slight change to one of the yoga classes, with more emphasis on relaxation. Various tension, relaxation movments, breathing exercises and the Relaxation Response (a simplified form of TM) will be covered. No yoga experience is necessary and the Thursday class will run as usual. What else?

Beginners squash is on again but only on Mondays 2-3 and Thursdays 2-3. Get your name down at Reception. Badminton classes are now on Tuesdays 10-11 and there are two classes on Friday 10-11 and 11-2.

The fitness classes, Tuesday 12-1 and Thursday 5.30-6.30 are now established as the hottest and most active social occasion of the week. Be in, unfit or not. Perspire at your own pace.

How's your golf swing? Bob is taking all swingers in the Long Room at 11 a.m. on Fridays. If you have never played golf try the beginners only class.
