There's still time to register for several of the adult fitness classes being offered this spring through Santa Clara County's Metropolitan Education District (www.metroED.net).
Offered as community interest classes are belly dance, Argentine Tango, Western Swing, diet based on traditional Chinese medicine, and Feldenkrais exercise, plus more. For the 50+ set, there are a lot of classes - Better Balance, Tai Chi, Brain Fitness and more.
The Feldenkrais Method, for those not familiar with it, is an educational system centered on movement, aiming to expand and refine the use of the self through awareness. Generally it is used by people who want to improve their movement tha tis restricted due to pain or physical limitations. According to Wikipedia, "Because it uses movement as the primary vehicle for gaining awareness, it is directly applicable to disorders that arise from restricted or habitually poor movement."
In addition to class fees (always very reasonably priced) there is a one-time annual fee of $20 and for classes in some locations, an additional $5 fee. The fees are non-refundable, so read everything carefully before you go through the online registration process.
