All YMCA of the North locations including the Southdale YMCA invite members of the FOREVERWELL community (55+) to come to our open house events. This is a great opportunity to learn more about membership options as a person aged 55+.

The Dance of Resilience book launch event will take place at 11:30.

Through extraordinary stories of ordinary people across the human spectrum—woven with her own candid experiences—award-winning author and legislator Ember Reichgott Junge shows how partner dance sparks self-discovery, fosters a healthier lifestyle, and offers a powerful antidote to today’s growing “epidemic of loneliness.”

This event is free.

Join the author at the Snow Ball DanceSport Competition hosted by Alan, Gene and Elena Bersten!

Spectator tickets are $30.

Celebrate the power of stories with us at Loft Connect Live!, a biannual reading and reception that highlights new books from our very own Loft community.

This event will feature Debra Stone's The House on Rondo, Ember Reichgott Junge's The Dance of Resilience, Ralph Remington's Penetrating Whiteness, Derek Francis' Our First Bus Ride, and Anthony Ceballos' Glassful of Prayer.
