Winterfest, the 94941’s annual holiday celebration produced by the Mill Valley Chamber‘s and Organized Chaos Events, is in the rearview mirror.
But one of the many performers who helped make it such a beautiful success was, as has long been the case, RoCo Dance and Studios. As you likely know, RoCo Dance & Studios does much more throughout the year than just participate in Winterfest.
That includes “Classes with Mary.” “Mary has been teaching at RoCo Dance for 20+ years,” says RoCo Dance Artistic Director Sadie Carhart.” “She is an incredible instructor and human.”
This class is a total body toning and sculpting program performed with free weights. Designed in Peripheral Heart Action circuitry, it keeps the heart rate elevated to increase intramuscular fat burning and to create a strong, sleek, sculpted body. Emphasis is on core strength, proper alignment and biomechanical education.
