Darien Living,Push-ups or Plies?

 

Darien sports programs are second to none . The town of Darien,CT and Darien schools boast multiple lacrosse,volleyball,gymnastics championship titles. The local YMCA is widely known as a  ”feeder” for the high school teams and each year many kids from Darien  schools go to prestigious colleges on some sort of athletic scholarship.

What to do though, if you or your kids are not particularly athletic or interested in competitive sports? Should they be literally sidelined?

Absolutely not. The Darien Arts Center will come to the rescue. I just received the fall program and it has 20 pages of great programs for kids and adults.

Musical Theatre,Singing Groups,Children’s and Adult Ballet,Jazz and Latin Dance,cartooning,painting,private and group music lessons and a lot more.

I’ve been a member of Equinox Fitness(another great facility located in Noroton Heights neighborhood of Darien)  since it opened 7 years ago and I love my workouts there. Pilates, Body Sculpt,Yoga, Cycling and treadmills as far as the eye can see.

This year though, I think I shall feed my soul with a few ballet classes at the Arts Center.I took dance classes for years before I hit my 40′s and just figured if the professionals stopped when they  were 40-ish,who was I to argue? (plus my body REALLY didn’t want to JUMP anymore). But what the heck. I’m signing up…..maybe for Latin Dance too.
