Art, Broadway Dance & Wine Yoga Adventure

Looking to reschedule this adventure to a future date :)

Come spend a spectacular Saturday with MYA in downtown Bangor. We’ll visit the local art museum, enjoy a broadway dance workshop, a wine yoga sesh, yummy vegetarian food, and a sweet riverside stroll…

The adventure begins at the Penobscot River park on the Bangor side with movement introductions and a stroll that’ll end us up at the Zillman Art Museum, Maine’s modern & contemporary art museum. A cultural resource of the state and the University of Maine, promotes an understanding of, and engagement with, visual art through its diverse contemporary exhibitions, permanent collection focusing on works of art since 1945, and educational programming.

MYA will soak in a tour of the current exhibitions featuring the work of two Maine-based artists; Vaina Kola and James Linehan. Wild & Domestic - two and three-dimensional animal artworks from the permanent collection. Also, there will be an exhibition by our Young Curators - high schoolers from the greater Bangor Area thematic based exhibition.

Then, a broadway dance workshop at Eye Candy! Christine Mihan, dancer, yogi, owner of Bangor Wine & Cheese, will lead us through moves that all adventurers can handle. Broadway Dance Workshop Are you a fan of Fosse? Have you always dreamed of being a Rockette? Or perhaps Nathan Lane is your hero? Then this adventure is for you! We’ll learn the basics of Broadway dance style (jazz hands, anyone?), develop an understanding of formations, and even learn a kick-less kick line (don’t worry, old hammies)! No prior dance experience necessary, just bring along your sense of adventure and your sense of humor.

We’ll all need a lovely dose of Wine Yoga afterwards! Sip on Amy Whitmore’s fabulous homemade wine (no yukky additives) and get in some much needed stretching, laughing, and relaxing. Amy, an avid world traveler, is a 300 hour hatha, vinyasa, restorative, and yin yoga certified instructor with years of dance & fitness experience.

Absolutely no yoga experience is required, have no fear. Amy’s class is regularly scheduled at Eye Candy on Tuesday evenings at 7pm (now at 6pm) and we always have a great time; after you try this class, you’ll be addicted!

Of course we’ll close out the adventure with delicious vegetarian food served up by MYA :)

Art, dancing, wine, yoga, yummy food, and wicked positive vibes, an all around awesome Saturyay in Bangor you won’t want to miss.

Hula Hoop & Dance Fitness Adventure

Join MYA as we bring together some wicked fun physicality to your Saturday, partnering with Eye Candy & SkyeFitness for the perfect mix of hula hooping & dance fitness. We’ll also get in a bit of gentle yoga and yummy vegetarian food to round out the fabulousness…

The adventure begins outdoors in downtown Bangor with introductions mixed with movement to get us warmed up. Then we’ll head into Eye Candy for a hoop class which will be much more then the hula hooping from your childhood! Trixie Flame brings the circus arts into hooping; she will have you hooping with your arms, legs and waist! Plus you will learn some fun tricks with hoops in a solid hour of circus playtime.

We’ll follow up that goodness with more funky fitness as we take a stroll over to SkyeFitness, a beautiful boutique gym, and get into an 80’s inspired (yes, leg warmers!) dance fitness class. Skye is a certified personal trainer and group exercise instructor with years of experience and a belief that you can and you will; getting in shape shouldn’t be a punishment.

MYA & Skye have similar philosophies in finding the pleasurable side of fitness, perhaps a sore muscle or two along the way, the amount of fun and levels of energy you will experience will far exceed the discomfort. Skye will lead adventurers into a Dance Fitness class (with disco ball!), a high energy dance workout. Although choreographed, you do not need to be a dancer to enjoy. Moves are fun and easy to follow. Adventurers will have a blast dancing together; please feel free to get into your favorite 80’s workout gear!

Post all of that working out, adventurers will get a gentle yoga practice, stretching out any tight places. After lying on the floor comfy cozy with an appetite nicely built up, we’ll get into a spread of vegetarian favorites to replenish bodies, minds & spirits.

Don’t miss out on a wonderful mix of local woman owned small businesses! Come out and support us and have a blast while doing so!

Cost: $75 includes a hula hooping class, a dance fitness class, yoga, vegetarian food, & wicked good vibes!

Post dancing and wining, we’ll head to the riverfront for an outdoors yoga flow and hot soup tailgating & dark chocolate munching.
