Germantown, TN Indoor Activities

Your Groupon is good for one of the company's final three productions of its 40th season. Reacquaint yourself with the classic Oliver! and sing along to the musical tunes of your childhood, such as "Food, Glorious Food," and "Consider Yourself," as the rapscallion orphans of Dickens's tale tear through the streets of 19th-century London. Or opt for a ticket to the regional premiere of Red, White, and Tuna, a two-man portrayal of the inhabitants of a small Texas town with more than 15 characters and 40 lightning-quick costume changes. Or take in the musical Hairspray to relive the trials and tribulations of Tracy Turnblad as she breaks into the 1962 Baltimore dance-show circuit. Instead of threatening lawsuits or vicious revenge, the cast of local Memphis actors will dazzle audiences with their triple threats of singing, dancing, and acting.

Ballroom dance builds coordination, rhythm, and grace, and is an uncommonly enjoyable form of low-impact exercise for a high-impact blind date. The hip-limbering and feet-fancying Memphis Ballroom Dance Company can tackle the leftest of beginner left feet with the beginner ballroom dance class. Through a month's worth of once-weekly 50-minute lessons, you'll learn the basics of rumba, waltz, swing, foxtrot, and tango. Attend the Southhaven location on Wednesdays at 8 p.m. or the Collierville location on Saturdays at noon to sprinkle some rhythm in your bag of twists and shimmies. Unlike a marriage license, chess matches, and tandem Segways, you don't need a partner to attend ballroom lessons

Push Pilates owner Val Russell draws from her 10 years of experience studying human physiology and lifelong practice of dance, gymnastics, and circus arts to construct the studio's curriculum of movement-based workouts. During Pilates sessions, students can either learn to perform floor-based mat exercises or opt to work out on the spring-loaded Reformers, Cadillacs, and Wunda Chairs. Yoga-class instructors incorporate athletic poses into flowing Vinyasa-style sequences, linking one pose to the next with balance-challenging movement and breathing exercises. During aerial-arts lessons, students learn to reenact scenes from 2001: A Space Odyssey as they dangle from ceiling-mounted silk slings or metal hoops. Outside of the classroom, the center's massage services can soothe and rejuvenate any weary muscles or vestigial wings.

The Collage dance Collective explores classical and contemporary ballet while pursuing its mission to increase diversity in the ballet world. Collage artistic director Kevin Thomas draws on ballet experience with the Dance Theatre of Harlem and the Royal Ballet of London in shaping the “Too Beauty” spring show. Spotlighting 10 of the collective’s professional dancers, “Too Beauty” boasts seven original choreographed pieces in which dancers fly and twirl to express their exquisite appreciation of corn dogs. The dancers infuse the 90-minute show with a medley of contemporary and classical styles, melding past and present influences together into a light soup of physical prowess and grace. Diverse music choices accompany the nimble prancing, from the classical work of romantic composer Camille Saint-Saëns to the modern soul stylings of John Legend.

Since swinging its doors open in 2007, Strike Zone Bowling Lanes has served as a community-first, family-oriented polestar for pin-pummeling action. Sphere flingers collect strikes and spares seven days per week, including during dance-fueled Boogie Bowl on Friday and Saturday evenings, and on Dollar Day Wednesdays, when $1 bills can be used to purchase single games or pooled into a bifocal fund for poor-sighted balls. In addition to hosting pickup games between friends, Strike Zone lends its alleys to globular engagements during league-play and birthday parties. Players on a break between frames can also venture into the facility's onsite pro shop, to stock up on gear, or into the arcade area, where video games and air-hockey tables help eyes and hands communicate and avoid using walkie-talkies.
