PRA4K is a fitness program for youth aged 6-11 that is all about having a blast and gaining confidence with no pressure to conform to stereotypical body images. Each event builds on the original Punk Rock Aerobics classes for adults, popularized by PRA co-founder, Hilken Mancini. For each three-chord punk song Hilken demonstrates three punk "dance” moves, all to a “G-rated” soundtrack that parents will recognize and love – sung by Boston area youth.
This high energy workout for kids comes with confidence building activities drawn from the ethos of punk music and its subculture, i.e. be yourself; no need to “fit in” or conform to popular ideals. No special clothes or gear needed.
An accompanying Zine/activity booklet teaches the history and ethos of punk rock music and its subculture which celebrates individuality by smashing stereotypes and breaking down the barriers that keep us from becoming our best selves. The Zine includes QR codes that give free access to all four workout videos streaming on YouTube!
Those who can’t attend the classes can still purchase a Zine and try all four virtual workouts on the Punk Rock Aerobics YouTube channel and via punkrockaerobics.com
