At 5501 Jefferson Ave in Midland, Michigan, Artshop's Let's Move! Winter 2026 Session 1 turns a community studio into a space for joyful, accessible movement. Led by Christina Fitch, this Thursday morning class (9:00–10:00 AM) runs Jan 15–Feb 26 and pairs upbeat dance with playful fitness games suitable for all ages and abilities. The program explicitly welcomes participants with disabilities and notes that students with Medicaid may apply part of their Community Living Support budget toward the fee, reinforcing its role as an inclusive local resource.
The class meets inside a bright community room near Midland's river corridor and school district facilities, a short drive from downtown lodging and parks. Key features include clear floor space for group movement, simple props like bands and soft balls, and adaptive instruction that scales intensity for different mobility levels. What makes this series stand out in Midland’s activity mix is its emphasis on play: structured drills, partner games, and music-driven sequences replace repetitive exercises, turning fitness into a social, skill-building practice. Sessions are canceled if Midland Public Schools close for weather, so plan around local winter storms.
This session lasts seven weeks, one hour per class. Participants can expect low-impact cardio, balance and coordination drills, seated and standing options, and room to advance or step back depending on energy and ability. The instructor’s approach fits families, seniors, and caregivers seeking movement that’s effective without being punishing. For visitors, the class offers a genuine way to connect with community life—learn simple dance steps, test balance on varied surfaces, and leave with a small group of new acquaintances.
Practical details matter: preregistration is required, the meeting address is 5501 Jefferson Ave, Midland, MI 48640, and the listed price is $95 per session. Bring indoor athletic shoes, water, and any mobility aids you normally use. Because the program serves people with diverse needs, the environment is intentionally low-friction—wide walkways and spare furniture—so newcomers find it easy to join.
