  •  (Ages 11 and up) - Tuesday 4:30-5:30pm Studio B
         Developed by Zena Rommett, the world-renowned pioneer in injury prevention and rehabilitation for dancers, this class
          combines ballet with anatomical principles of alignment and kinetic usage. By lying on the floor, without the pressure of
          gravity, Floor-Barre® strengthens and properly corrects the placement of the pelvis, hips and back with your mind and
          body concentrated and working together. This revolutionary technique, which has had a steadily growing following for
          several decades, is based on the idea that without the pull of gravity (hence, lying on the floor) students are better able to
          learn movements and correct alignment.

What Our Community Is Saying

As a former competitive swimmer myself, I introduced my daughter  to swimming at a tender age of 6 months; however she was so terrified of being in any body of water such that even giving her a bath was quite a challenge.
 However at age 4 she suddenly told us that she wanted to learn how to swim and so we brought her to Severna Park Community Center (SPCC) and what a beautiful experience we have had. The instructors are so polite, professional and sensitive to the needs of each individual child and our daughter fit right in.  At SPCC she has progressed from not knowing how to swim to being one of the best swimmers in her age group! We as parents are so proud of her achievements at SPCC with the help of the super wonderful aquatic center staff.  We highly recommend SPCC aquatic center to any parent that is serious about having their child/children learn how to swim and you will not be disappointed!
