This week on the Community Affairs show Cheryl Jackson talks with Amanda Standard about the power and importance of movement.  Mrs. Standard talks about how movement helps manage stressors in life.  Movement also helps improve physical health.  Movement has helped during quarantine by allowing us to connect virtually with others to move together.  She shares how it’s therapeutic to connect virtually and move with a group of people.  We can even use movement as a tool to heal mentally and physically.  She says, just keep moving.  Find out about all of the virtual classes and summer programs offered by Divine Dance Institute here:  https://www.divinedanceinstitute.com/
