At 5501 Jefferson Ave in Midland, Michigan, Artshop Let's Move! Fall 2026 Session II offers an hour of upbeat, accessible movement and creative play designed for people of all ages and abilities. Meet on Thursdays, Oct 29–Dec 17 (no class 11/26), 10:00–11:00 a.m.; the session is priced at $95 and runs in a capped class of 12 participants. Instructor Katie Morey leads dance-based warmups, playful fitness games, and art activities that blend expression with low-impact exercise, making this both a creative class and a community fitness session.
The program’s studio at 5501 Jefferson Ave functions as a bright, open room with a resilient floor, chairs and lightweight adaptive equipment to accommodate wheelchairs and limited mobility. Key features include rhythmic group movement, seated and standing options, tactile art stations, and a pace that invites participation rather than performance. Because the course accepts preregistration and may accept part of a Community Living Support budget, families and caregivers should ask about Medicaid eligibility before booking.
What makes this offering special is its dual focus on arts education and inclusive movement in a small-town Midwest setting. Midland sits on the Tittabawassee River and supports a strong network of community programs; this Artshop class plugs directly into that civic fabric by creating a safe weekly appointment for social connection, joy, and gentle activity. The modest group size means instructors can adjust music, tempo, and art materials to each participant’s needs, turning one hour into meaningful progress for motor skills, coordination, and mood.
Practical notes: preregistration is required; if Midland Public Schools are closed for the day due to weather, Artshop classes are canceled. Arrive a few minutes early to check in at the meeting point and let staff know about mobility or sensory accommodations. Packing a small water bottle and layered clothing helps—rooms can vary in temperature, and light movement can heat you up.
Bring comfortable shoes with non-marking soles, easy-to-remove layers, and any mobility aids you normally use; staff can provide chair-based modifications and quieter stations for participants sensitive to sound. Free street parking and a small parking lot are available near the meeting point at 5501 Jefferson Ave—confirm details when you preregister. The class welcomes family members and aides, and instructors review individual needs at check-in so each session runs safely and smoothly. Refund and weather-cancellation policies follow local program guidelines and staff.
Why go? For caregivers, the class is a structured hour of engagement and gentle exercise run by an experienced leader; for participants, it’s a playful way to move, make art, and connect. It’s not a drop-in gym class or an arts studio audition—it's targeted, adaptive programming that exemplifies how community recreation can be both inclusive and joyfully active in Midland.
Thursdays, Oct 29–Dec 17, 2026 from 10:00–11:00 a.m.; no class on 11/26.
