Staff report
The Nassau County Council on Aging is offering an extensive lineup of classes throughout November at the Fernandina Beach Senior Life Center, with options ranging from fitness and dance to creative arts and language instruction.
Classes include Zumba Gold, chair yoga, tai chi, line dancing, bridge, Spanish lessons, art therapy, ukulele, guitar, crocheting and Pilates. The center also offers specialized classes such as sign language, belly dancing, hula hooping and tapping meditation.
Support groups for caregivers, grief and Parkinson’s disease are available, along with educational sessions on topics including artificial intelligence trends, Mediterranean diet principles and health care costs.
The center will be closed Nov. 11 for Veterans Day and Nov. 27-28 for Thanksgiving. A Veterans Day Salute Exhibit will be on display Nov. 12-14, and the Giving Seniors Hope Thanksgiving Luncheon takes place Nov. 20.
Memberships cost $125 for individuals or $195 for two people in the same household. Non-members can attend classes for $5 each. Reservations can be made one week in advance at www.myactivecenter.com.
