Don’t be scared off by the word “hike,” this will not be at a fast pace. We will be leaving from the lobby of our RG hotel to make our way (on foot) over to the Colorado Lagoon for a stroll part way around the Lagoon and then back to the hotel. Distance of approximately 3 miles.

Chair yoga is done while seated or using a chair for balance. We will not be needing any mats, and we will not be needing to get up and down from the floor. Join us as we work on our balance and do some stretching and breathing.

By age three, Doreen Fineman was already dancing foxtrot, swing and rumba and knew that she wanted to be a dancer. While growing up, she enrolled in every dance class that was available to her; taking modern, jazz, tap and ballet. While earning her California teaching credential at UCLA, Doreen fell in love with ballroom dance. In addition to ballroom, Doreen participated in international folk dance, and even joined a Greek dance troupe! She continues to train with Arthur Murray, Fred Astaire and other studios.

You can take group and private lessons with Doreen at ATOMIC Ballroom in Irvine, CA throughout the week, where she teaches a number of different ballroom classes at levels ranging from beginning to advanced.

Only slightly.) Here’s one: The little lost boy tells a cop that he can’t find his daddy. The cop asks “What’s your daddy like?” Prize for the best answer to that one!! BE THERE!
