Shimmy Your Way To A Healthful You

Our friend over at True North Yoga Deb Philp, knows a thing or two about  getting in touch with your inner zen, as well keeping healthy. So when Deb told us that belly dancing is good for you, we were intrigued. Today, Belly Dancing Guru Natalie, from Montreal – who summers right here in Schroon --  continues her workshops at True North, with a class called “Shimmy, Shimmy, Shimmy”.

Don’t be intimidated. This workshop is designed for newbies to the exotic world of belly dancing. This class will teach the basic hip and shoulder shimmies and focus on correct posture and how to move all the moving parts of your body needed to pull this off. It’s from  1 pm – 3pm.

If you are visiting for the first time, or hadn’t paid much attention in the past, there’s a ton for kids to do right here in Schroon.

Swimming, tennis, yoga, golf, soccer and basketball are just a few of the activities kids can participate in, if you ever hear the mantra “I’m bored”.

Swimming Lessons

Everyday, Monday through Thursday, The Town offers free swimming lessons at the Town Beach, taught by the lifeguards. We’ve heard rave reviews from families who have told us that how well their kids swim after their kids learned to swim here. Sign up with the guards.
