Facilitator: Carolina Rojas
Bring some rhythm into your Tuesday morning. Carolina Rojas returns to The Jamii Hub to lead Belonging Older Adults movement sessions that keep you active, smiling, and connected to the people around you. Using accessible Latin dance rhythms and steps, this class supports cardio health, muscle strength, and coordination in a supportive space where everyone can move at their own pace.
Across the series, participants will work with continuous, repetitive movement that builds stamina and coordination over time. The pacing is designed with older adults in mind, with options to take breaks, adjust intensity, and participate in a way that feels right for your body. The vibe is caring and community-focused. You’ll move together, get your heart rate up, and leave feeling more awake in your body.
These sessions are part of Jamii’s Belonging Older Adults program for older adults in downtown Toronto. Participants register for the program, then can drop in to any Tuesday session that works for them.
Support free community arts
Jamii’s workshops are free so that cost is never a barrier to participation. If you’re able, you can help pay it forward by donating through Jamii’s website. Your support helps keep community arts accessible and welcoming for everyone.
These workshops are open to people of all experience levels. No background in movement and dance is required. Participants are encouraged to take part in a way that feels comfortable and meaningful to them.
Workshops are free for participants. Registration is required, and space is limited.
Jamii's Belonging Older Adults workshops are sponsored by Government of Canada - New Horizons for Seniors Program, Canada Council for the Arts, Government of Ontario, and St Lawrence Neighbourhood Association.
