Sukanya Burman Dance will offer an interactive, movement-based session tailored for participants of The Reg's Memory Café. This program focuses on gentle, accessible movement and creative expression designed to engage the body and mind. Led by SBD company members, the class will begin with light movement warm-ups and evolve into a playful “teach-back” activity where participants learn and adapt simple movement phrases together. This shared experience is designed to foster joy, connection, and well-being in a welcoming, nonjudgmental environment. Movement will be adapted as needed to ensure comfort and accessibility for all participants.

Participants are welcome to enjoy music performances, crafts and easy, appropriate activities to spark friendly social interaction.

Eric Mcelvenny deployed three times as a Marine, and in Afghanistan on his final tour, was wounded after stepping on an IED. He suffered the amputation of his right leg below the knee. Faced with a physical challenge and an uncertain future, he made a promise to himself to run an Ironman Triathlon.

On his journey from the hospital bed in southern California to the finish line in Kona, Hawaii, he realized the challenge and adversity he was up against and the techniques he used to reach the finish line can be used against the challenges we all entertain. Eric’s experience, combined with his Christian faith, makes for a multi-dimensional and truly remarkable story.
