Tai Chi is especially great for senior citizens. Tai Chi is soft and graceful to watch, and there are many styles of Tai Chi. The most popular styles are Yang, Chen, Wu, Sun. We teach the Yang-style Tai Chi form which is standardized by the Chinese government. We teach the Yang style for health reasons only . We will, however, illustrate the meaning behind each of the movements.” Fee: $10 per class Call the Center for more information, or just stop by and meet Sam.
