A new beginners class will start Monday February 25, 2019 at 6:30 pm, with a free demo and class.
No need to pre-register, just come by.
We will spend the first half hour discussing and demonstrating tai chi.
During the second half hour, you will learn the opening movements of our form. (Ordinary street clothing is just fine.)
Springtime location is 145 W. 84th Street, inside Brandeis School. (We will move to 647 Columbus Ave, Goddard Riverside,
when they have fixed a leak.)
The class will then continue to meet at the same location on Mondays from 6:30 to 7:30 pm.
Tai Chi is a series of movements that are taught in sequence, and is called "the form".
It takes about a year to learn the form. We start three new beginners classes each year,
and current students are welcome to join classes that start after theirs for additional practice. After learning the form, students can go on to the advanced class, start to learn push/sensing hands, and eventually study the sword form and fencing.
To encourage students to attend as many classes as they want, we charge by the week or month rather than by the class. The cost is $20 a week or $75 a calendar month. See our full class schedule.
Long River Tai Chi Circle was founded over 40 years ago on the Upper West Side by Wolfe Lowenthal, author of the classics There Are No Secrets and Gateway to the Miraculous.
The class will be taught by Laura Clark who has studied with Long River Tai Chi for 16 years.
