Mahjong - $2
2024-10-28 13:00 - 15:00
We play both Hong Kong New World & American Mahjong. To play Hong Kong style our group is able to supply you with a copy of the latest sheet if you do not have a copy. For American style you will need to pre-purchase the current year’s card from https://www.nationalmahjonggleague.org/store.aspx# . (9$ USD). Sorry but we do not play Chinese style.
Here is a brief explanation of the game. Don’t be scared off – it is lots of fun and you will love it. If you are familiar with Rummy you should pick it up no problem.
The game is played with a set of 144 tiles based on Chinese characters and symbols, although some regional variations use a different number of tiles. In most variations, each player begins by receiving 13 tiles. In turn players draw and discard tiles until they complete a legal hand using the 14th drawn tile to form four groups (melds) and a pair (head). There are fairly standard rules about how a piece is drawn, stolen from another player and thus melded, the use of simples (numbered tiles) and honours (winds and dragons), the kinds of melds, and the order of dealing and play.

Chair Yoga - $3
2024-10-28 14:00 - 15:00
Perfect for people with limited mobility, balance issues, or in recovery – This gentle form of yoga is practiced sitting in a chair or standing using a chair for support. Starting with a short meditation, followed by breathing exercise, then the practice. The poses, or Asana, are often adaptations of Hatha yoga. We will end the class with a short meditation and a quote for the day.
NOTE: This program is not suitable for those with osteopenia or osteoporosis. If you have either of these please review our information on the OSTEOFIT for Life class which may be perfect for you.

Level 3 - Beginner Line Dancing - $2
2024-10-30 10:15 - 11:15
This class is for dancers with more line dance experience – generally about 6 months or more. This class will do Beginner to High Beginner line dances. This class would be the next step from the Easy Beginner class. There will be much more variety in Beginner level dances and dances will progress throughout the year to the higher beginner level, preparing dancers for the Low Improver to Intermediate level. Format will be much the same as the Easy Beginner class.

Cribbage - $2
2024-10-30 12:30 - 13:30
Cribbage is one of the best two-hand games – and one of the most enduring, for the game was entertaining card players as far back as the seventeenth century. It evolved from an earlier English game called “Noddy,” and the man credited with inventing it is Sir John Suckling, a wealthy English poet. Cribbage affords players both the anticipation of the luck of the deal as well as ample opportunity to exercise their skills in discarding and play. Here at the Parkinson Senior Centre we have a great group of Cribbage players. Join them on Wednesday’s for an afternoon of entertaining competition, coffee and cookies are also part of the Cribbage tradition here at the P.A.C. ($1 extra for the Kitchen)

Level 4 - Intermediate Line Dancing - $2
2024-10-30 13:00 - 15:00
This class is for more experienced line dancers, generally those with 1 year or more experience and would be the next step from the Beginner line dance class. From approximately 1:00 pm to 2:00 pm will concentrate on Low Improver to Easy Intermediate level line dances and 2:00 pm to 3:00 pm will concentrate on Intermediate level dances. The Improver portion of the class will follow the Beginner format.
The Intermediate level format will be slightly different. One new dance will be taught approximately every 3 weeks to a month. Week 1 will be the new teach; week 2 will be a good review of the dance and weeks 3 and 4 will be walkthroughs. The new dance will be done for 4 weeks total in a row. The remainder of the Intermediate dances will be dances taught in the past. There will be a review when necessary, but mainly these dances should only require walkthroughs.
