VISITORS KICK UP THEIR HEELS AT THE MAGIC HOUSE

On Friday, March 1 from 4:00 pm to 8:00 pm, The Magic House is inviting visitors to dance their way to a healthier lifestyle with Irish dancers from The Clark Academy of Irish
Dance at the Museum's Fitness Fun Friday. Visitors will be treated to a lively performance of Irish dancing and then have the opportunity to step up their own fitness routines by learning a few simple Irish dance steps that will get their feet moving and their hearts pumping. Mary Jo Clark-Cange, owner and former member of Riverdance, and her students will teach kids and their parents how to Irish dance, both traditionally and to pop music!

Sponsored by Centene Corporation, Fitness Fun Fridays take place on the first Friday evening of every month from 4:00 to 8:00 pm and feature a variety of fun health and fitness activities with different themes and partners each month. Fitness Fun Fridays give families the opportunity to play their way to a healthier lifestyle. Pedometers are available for visitors to track how many steps they take just playing in the museum. The answer is surprising!

Fitness Fun Fridays are free with museum admission but  registration is required. Children who complete a Fitness Challenge on The Magic House's website receive free admission to The Magic House for Fitness First Friday. To register or complete the fitness challenge, please visit The Magic House online at www.magichouse.org. The first 100 visitors to attend Fitness First Friday will receive a backpack filled with healthy goodies and take-home activities.
