Relieve stress, build aerobic stamina, and shed unwanted pounds, while imagining yourself leading a symphony orchestra.
With CONDUCTORCISE®, you can strengthen your heart and open your ears. Maestro David Dworkin leads participants as they enjoy a natural, invigorating upper body workout, learn basic conducting techniques, improve listening skills, and find out about the lives and work of the great composers.
The uniqueness of CONDUCTORCISE® is born out of natural body movement and our physical response to music. Participants are made aware of rhythm, form, color through use of instruments, and the creative process. The music ranges widely, from marches by John Philip Sousa and Johann Strauss to beloved concert, ballet, and operatic classics of Mozart, Tchaikovsky, Brahms, and Dvorak to brilliant showpieces by Offenbach, Rimsky-Korsakov, and Copland.
No musical background is necessary!
Conductorcise® was selected as one of North America’s six most innovative active aging programs by The International Council on Active Aging!
