The URBAN-15 Group is happy to announce its new Hot Hot Hot Latin Dance Class for Seniors beginning November 8th and continuing every Monday and Tuesday at 6:30 and 2 pm, respectively. The class will take place at the URBAN-15 Studio, located at 2500 S. Presa. The class will last for six weeks and is absolutely free for seniors!

This six-week class is designed to teach seniors the fundamentals of latin dance, fitness, and performance via the energetic rhythms of Latin music. Participants are encouraged to wear loose comfortable clothing, indoor sneakers (or come barefoot), bring a towel and water, and arrive on time. This is not a couple dance class - be prepared to sweat, work torso muscles, lengthen leg muscles, increase flexibility, and get stronger. In other words, come prepared to DANCE!

The URBAN-15 Group is happy to announce its new DrumDrumDrum Hand Drumming Class for Seniors beginning November 4th and continuing every Thursday at 2 pm. The class will take place at the URBAN-15 Studio, located at 2500 S. Presa. The class will last for six weeks and is absolutely free for seniors!

This class is designed to teach seniors the basics of rhythm and percussion, specifically with a djembe, a type of large hand drum. The rhythms taught will mostly be afro-latin in nature. With time and practice, participants will see improvements in rhythm, coordination, memory, and hand/wrist/arm mobility

In addition to touring the country playing drumset and latin percussion for various groups and bands, he has also taught music at the middle school level for 11 years and continues to perform with and teach for the URBAN-15 Group today.
