Community Education of the Black Hills

Tai Chi Chuan is a Chinese martial arts exercise that focuses on mind intention and big, smooth, slow core movement to recharge and energize the body. Tai Chi Chuan has demonstrated numerous benefits including better balance, strength and improved bone density. The class consists of warm up/loosening exercises and instruction on body structure (how you hold your body in a Tai Chi way). You’ll also begin to learn the choreography of the Hunyuan Tai Chi 48-forms set and the ‘how to’s’ of the moves like where to place your feet, how your body and hands move, and how your weight shifts. NOTE: Tai Chi is physical exercise equivalent to moderate walking. Be prepared to stand and move for the entire hour. Class is suitable for ages 14 to 80+. Please wear loose, comfortable clothing and flat soled shoes. NOTE: $5 per student to instructor
