Artistic fitness program coming to WPAC

The Wilson Performing Arts Center is creating a new artistic fitness program in mid-January.
WPAC Executive Director Val Zane said the fitness program will help promote health and wellness in the community, while also inspiring and nurturing a passion for the performing arts.
The program received $3,622 in hotel/motel funds recently from the city’s tourism and recreation committee. Zane said the program, set to launch Saturday, Jan. 21, 2023, includes three Saturday morning fitness classes.
“We would like to eventually add more classes as well as nutrition and mental health elements and possibly an after-school program for kids, as well,” Zane said. “We have been receiving numerous requests for fitness classes for a while now from various residents of Red Oak and from visitors traveling through, so we have developed a program that will combine the performing arts with fitness, making our center the perfect place to do it.”
Zane added they think the creative aspects of the performing arts go well with fitness, especially when there is potential to “create a really fun, feel good activity that can help the mind, body, and soul.”
The three classes to start the program with are:
1. "Theatre of the Mind" - A Mindful Meditation & Stretching class that combines soft, relaxing music and imagery with a guided meditation
2. "Lights, Camera, Action" - A low impact, low intensity slow burn cardio dance class for beginners and people of all ages and fitness levels.
3. "Broadway Burn" - A more intense aerobic, calorie burning workout set to Broadway Musicals and show tunes.
More information on the program will be released later.
