Roselle Councilwoman Launching Step Classes for Kids Oct. 6
Maria Torres · Union County Life
Roselle Councilwoman-at-Large Cynthia Johnson is bringing step classes to children in Roselle, with the first session set for October 6, 2026, at Roselle Memorial Library. The classes are open to children ages 5 to 12.
Johnson, who has personal experience with stepping, said she saw a need for this kind of program in the borough. "I attended stepping classes and Roselle doesn't have an initiative to do stepping classes for the children," Johnson said. "So that's why I wanted to bring it to Roselle."
Johnson described the program as reaching beyond physical activity. "It's not just about stepping. It's the mind, it's the body, and it's the exercise for them," she said. Her stated goal is to create an activity that brings children and their families together and encourages physical activity, discipline, and personal growth.
The step class program reflects Johnson's commitment to community wellness. She has previously organized community-building initiatives in Roselle, including her 5th Annual Community Block Party, held on September 12, 2026.
Families interested in the October 6 session should contact Roselle Memorial Library or Councilwoman Johnson's office for additional details and to register their children.
