Artshop Let's Move! Fall 2026 Session I — Inclusive Dance & Creative Movement in Midland, MI

Artshop Let's Move! Fall 2026 Session I at 5501 Jefferson Ave in Midland, Michigan, is a weekly hour of creative movement and inclusive play that welcomes people of all ages and abilities. The class runs Thursdays, September 10 through October 22, from 10:00 to 11:00 a.m., and is led by instructor Katie Morey. With a twelve-person cap, this program focuses on dance, fitness games, and accessible arts activities that encourage movement, coordination, and social connection in a supportive group atmosphere. The meeting point is 5501 Jefferson Ave, a central community space where classes prioritize adaptability and participant choice. That adaptability is the program’s standout feature: exercises scale to different mobility levels, and instructors can work with Medicaid-supported Community Living Support budgets when applicable. Because Midland Public Schools closures cancel sessions for that day, families should watch local school announcements before heading out. What to expect: an intentionally paced warm-up, short dance sequences, playful fitness stations, and integrated simple art prompts that keep the body and imagination engaged. The format suits caregivers, adults with disabilities, older adults seeking low-impact movement, and intergenerational groups. No specialized equipment is required; teachers supply creative prompts and modifications so participants can take part seated or standing. This offering is a concrete example of how small, focused arts programs animate Midland’s recreational landscape. It's not about performance; it's about movement as expression and daily wellbeing in a civic setting. The class size and weekly cadence create a reliable ritual—great for building new routines, practicing balance and coordination, and connecting with neighbors. Practical details: preregistration is required, and the six-week session costs $95. Bring comfortable clothes, a water bottle, and any mobility aids you use at home. If energy or attention spans vary across participants, the instructor’s experience with inclusive practices and the small group size make transitions gentle and manageable. Why book it: this class turns exercise into a creative practice—an accessible, social indoor option for visitors planning a short stay in Midland or local residents looking for consistent, supportive movement classes. For families and caretakers seeking an entry point to community arts without performance pressure, Artshop Let’s Move! combines light cardio, music, and creativity in a way that feels practical, welcoming, and reliably fun.
