Wanna Wiggle at RISE?
Monday, November 28, 2022, from 11 a.m. to 11:45 a.m., is your opportunity to express yourself, let go, and improvise. Maria Spizuoco, dance teacher extraordinaire, is offering a free class at RISE (Rockaway Initiative for Sustainability & Equity), 58-03 Rockaway Beach Boulevard. She is filling in for Ann Fosteris of Fitness to You, who was gracious enough to get her as a substitute.
Spizuoco studied dance at Temple University, and teaches five dance classes a day and then instructs kindergarteners through sixth-graders in an afterschool program. She has been looking for more opportunities to teach in the Rockaways, her home for the past six years.
“Move and Groove begins with stretches and slower movements, followed by interactive faster rhythmic dance,” says Spizuoco. “It is inspired by various international dance forms such as Bollywood, Latin, West African, and belly dance. Class winds down slowly, ending with gentle relaxation.” Spizuoco explains, “Move and Groove is unique in its ability to create unity and community. No prior dance experience is required.”
