Bringing Community Together, One Step At A Time

Since 2001, we have opened our doors to welcome community members to walk our multiple indoor and outdoor walking routes throughout the Noble High School property. Indoor routes range from 1/3 to 1/2 mile. If you’re up for a challenge, you have the option of including stairs in your workout. The outdoor routes are about a mile in distance. This is a great way to get in some exercise, especially during the cold New England months. Bring a friend or come as a family. All are welcome! Not to mention, joining is FREE!

To join, just drop by the adult education office to sign in and pick up a name tag. When you're done, you just sign out and drop off your name tag. Join the fun and become a Noble Strider!

Join us for a class in Hatha Yoga led by certified instructor, Nancy Cotty from Peace Within Yoga. Yoga is a great way to relax and improve your health and well being. The focus will be on stretching and breathing while building our strength and finding peace. All levels are welcome. Drop-ins are welcome and new students can join anytime. All equipment will be provided for you. Information learned through yoga classes and workshops should not be considered a substitute for medical advice. 

This workshop is designed to loosen and stretch the hip joint so that movement in that area is easier and less tense. We will combine some restorative yoga poses with some that will increase flexibility and strengthen the body (especially the hip joints). Much of what we cover can be done at home after the workshop so you can continue opening the hips and leg muscles on your own.

All equipment will be provided for you. Information learned through yoga classes and workshops should not be considered a substitute for medical advice.

Meet Jennifer!
Jennifer Hanson is the owner of Dance the Line in Dover, New Hampshire. Her love for line dancing began at a young age when her mother took her to local community country line dance classes. As an adult, Jennifer rekindled this passion when she attended a line dance class with a friend, and she quickly fell in love with it all over again.

Driven by her enthusiasm, Jennifer sought various classes, training sessions, and workshops to deepen her knowledge and skills. Her goal was to share the joy of dance with others. For Jennifer, the dance floor is a sanctuary where she can escape the pressures of the world and immerse herself in music.

With over 15 years of experience in dancing and teaching country line and partner dances, Jennifer now runs Dance the Line, offering classes for all ability levels multiple days a week. Dance the Line provides a range of services, including country line dance lessons, country partner lessons, workshops, private events, and DJ services.

 She teaches weekly at the Dover Elks located at 282 Durham Road, Dover New Hampshire on Monday nights, Fox Run Dance Hall at 50 Fox Run Rd, Newington, NH on Wednesday nights.   Beginners class is 6-7:30 p.m. and Intermediate class is 7:30-9:00 p.m.
