Around Town DC offers a wide variety of free fitness and recreational/social programs for DC residents aged 60 and older. Whether you’re interested in gentle chair yoga, Zumba dance, tai chi, or mindfulness meditation, there’s something for everyone to stay active.

To have fun and stay connected, you can also try an in-person painting class, join virtual sessions on topics like African American artists via Zoom, or learn how to get the most out of your smartphone.

Be sure to check out our calendar for the full list of programs.

What we don’t list is health and social services. If you’re looking for affordable housing, transportation, nutritional counseling, case management, or other health and social services, Around Town DC is not the best tool for you. Instead, we recommend contacting Iona Senior Services, a local nonprofit with 40+ years of experience (and the organization behind Around Town DC). Staffed by compassionate and knowledgeable social workers and nurses, Iona’s team can answer your questions and make referrals to the services you need, whether at Iona or elsewhere. To get started, contact Iona’s Helpline at 202-895-9448 or info@iona.org. The Helpline is available every weekday from 9am – 5pm. Iona strives to answer all emails and calls within one business day.
