Our classes are run by volunteer tutors and presently include exercises, tai chi (various groups), yoga, cards, bridge, jive and partner dancing, line dancing, creative writing, musical keyboards, ukulele group, mahjong, ballet for seniors, sing-a-long and relaxation/well-being. See our class list for full details. A wide range of other classes are available to members at Hervey Bay and Howard with whom U3A Maryborough has a reciprocal arrangement for financial members. U3A Online also have a large range of classes, both tutored and self-paced that you can undertake in the comfort of your own home. Check it out!
We are always looking for willing tutors and new classes, so if you have something to offer, please get in touch. Courses can be run for any period of time a tutor considers suitable. Cost is kept to a minimum to allow greater access for members. Most activities are held at the Senior Citizens Hall in Alice Street where brochures and information can be obtained.
Ballet News from Kathleen and Debra.
Along with 12 of our students ranging in age from 48 (Debra) to 76, we attended the Queensland Ballet workshop for Seniors on Saturday. The lesson went for 1 hour and we had a wonderful teacher in his early 20’s named Joe, who was sweet and professional and showed our ladies a taste of what it is like to be a ballerina.
Near the end of our class he taught us a small part from the ballet Gisele and ended with our curtsey but with a little bit of arms from Swan Lake. We would like to congratulate our students on a job well done, you looked great ladies!
The Queensland Ballet will be back next year for another workshop and we are all looking forward to attending again and to see how much we have all improved. They have also asked us to film our class and dance routine to see the difference of what we have taught and the differences between our classes.
The Laughter Yoga class held on Mondays at 1pm is now cancelled. Unfortunately the tutor is not well and low attendance numbers makes it difficult to continue. We will advise if Bev and Darryl are able to offer this class next year. Thank you to both tutors.
