Music, Movement & Dance

The Y is a great starting point for youth to learn and develop active and healthy habits that will stay with them throughout  their lives.   This program promotes motor, mental, and social skills by fostering an enjoyment of dance movement in a class environment. Some classes include times of directed play and free play, while others focus more of their time on basic dance and some gymnastics. All classes are upbeat, positive, and fun.

STORIES OF US:
THE REAL Y

#TheRealUs
The Y gave me my first chance at a job.
We remember our first jobs because for the first time, someone outside our families saw value in us. They gave us a chance. For Bruce Depew, his chance came from Dave Williams, the Y’s Director of Facilities. I recently had the opportunity to interview them both.

My Camp Experience
I loved attending camp last year because I could interact with children I’ve never met before and could maybe meet with them again the next year. My favorite memory from camp is when all of my friends would try to sneak cheese puffs and snacks away from my counselor, Alyssa. A girl in my cabin really loved peanut butter truffles and would take them every time our counselor wasn’t looking.

My Life at the Y
Generally, our earliest memories of childhood are between 3 and 8 years of age. Ava’s earliest memories of the Y involve learning new things, spending time with her family and friends and the general nostalgia of just being a kid! Ava shares, “For me and my family, the Y was a place we knew we were always in for a treat, be it a fun class, playing in the pools and playgrounds, or just getting to spend time with each other.

Journey to the Y
Americans are fortunate to live in the United States with first amendment rights to freedom of religion, freedom of speech and the press, the right to peaceably assemble, and the right to petition government. Unfortunately, political uproar and crisis is a reality for many other areas in the world.

Katie: Space to Rebuild
I’m Katie, and I teach Buti Yoga at the Shasta Family YMCA. Buti is a dynamic combination of yoga, plyometrics, tribal dance, and strength training. This practice has changed my life. It’s physically demanding and emotionally empowering.

Jessica: Light in a Dark Time
Like many in the River Ridge subdivision, Jessica didn’t get the notice to evacuate from the Carr Fire until after she and her two sons had fled the house. “There were flames on the side of Quartz Hill Road as we drove away. My six-year-old was terrified that we were going to die.” Their home was lost.
