I want to express gratitude to the Support Our Seniors Society for sponsoring the Movement and Mobility classes with Kelly. She is knowledgeable, welcoming, and helpful. Her classes focus on exactly what I need: better balance, strength, coordination, and community. Her finger/mind games are fun and her music is good too. I always leave her class feeling energized!
