Artshop Let's Move! Spring/Summer 2026 Session 2 at 5501 Jefferson Ave in Midland, Michigan turns a neighborhood studio into a playful, accessible movement lab. This four-week Thursday series, led by Katie Morey, invites participants of all ages and abilities to dance, play fitness games, and rediscover motion as a form of creativity and connection. Classes run from 10:00 to 11:00 AM on August 6, 13, 20, and 27; registration is required and the program welcomes people with disabilities and those who use Medicaid-funded Community Living Support benefits. The setting is straightforward but powerful: a community arts space that privileges inclusion over spectacle. Floors that hold echoes of prior rehearsals, sun through east-facing windows, and a small class size capped at twelve make this a place where instructors can tune each exercise to a person’s pace. Expect playful warmups, guided movement games, and choreography that emphasizes fun rather than performance. Katie’s approach frames exercise as a social activity, blending low-impact cardio, balance drills, and creative prompts so movement becomes both training and play. Why this program stands out in Midland’s local recreation mix is practical: it lowers barriers to participation. The class is designed for people who might be excluded from traditional fitness settings—those with limited mobility, different sensory needs, or a desire to move without judgment. That inclusivity makes it a meaningful complement to more conventional offerings in the region, from municipal pool laps to neighborhood walking groups. If you’re considering a session, plan to arrive early to check in at 5501 Jefferson Ave and bring comfortable clothes and supportive shoes. The short class length is ideal for newcomers or busy schedules; four sessions are long enough to learn and laugh together but short enough to commit to without overhauling your calendar. For visitors staying in Midland, this program offers a low-key way to plug into local life, meet neighbors, and recharge between outdoor excursions. It’s particularly well-suited to caregivers seeking a structured activity for their loved ones or to adults returning to movement after an injury or long break. Community partners sometimes arrange transportation support for residents; contact the organizers at the Artshop program location for accessibility accommodations, or to inquire about sliding-scale options. Participants report improved mood, increased stamina, and new social connections after a session block. Whether you’re tapping into local arts programming or simply looking for a friendly workout, this series makes movement practical, playful, and purposeful. Artshop’s Let's Move! series reframes fitness as accessible community building: not about scoring personal bests but about rediscovering the simple pleasure of moving in good company. If your next trip to Midland lines up with August dates, this lively, inclusive hour is a small schedule anchor with outsized benefits.
