"Musical rhythms stimulate certain areas of the brain often known as our 'rewards centers.' These regions are associated with the chemical dopamine, which affects happiness and well-being as well as movement and thinking. Dancing also stimulates the motor and sensory circuits in the brain.

I've connected with so many communities over the years and I'm eager to connect with more - message me if you're interested in booking Steps in Time to visit your community!

We love learning new dance steps when the Dancin' Man aka Michael Winward visits us at Plymouth Crossings!

Michael takes a gender-neutral approach, teaching routines that include the leader and follower roles of each dance style. No partner is necessary to attend.

He is the founding director of Steps in Time®, an adaptive ballroom dance program serving assisted living and memory care communities in and around Greater Boston. He is the co-producer of Dancing Queerly, an annual festival of performances, workshops, discussions and social dance gatherings by and for the LGBTQ+ community.
This 8-week series will be held Tuesday mornings from 10:00-11:00 am ET, from November 3 through December 22, 2020.
Suggested donations: $10 per class, or $75 for the entire 8-week series. No one will be turned away due to lack of funds.
