Elegant English actress Jane Seymour is teaming with fellow former Dancing With the Stars contestant Steve Guttenberg, along with some of the ABC hit’s professional dancers, to preside over a unique exercise class for more than 25,000 AARP members meeting here this weekend for its three-day convention.

Additionally, NBC’s Today show host Al Roker, tennis legend Martina Navratilova, Star Trek hero George Takei, TV hit-maker Norman Lear and poet Maya Angelou will be guest lecturers to the AARP members (AARP is formerly known as the American Association of Retired Persons). The convention is being held at the Sands Expo Center at The Venetian and Palazzo.

Gloria Estefan, Kool & the Gang, the Duke Ellington Orchestra and the Tito Puente Jr. Orchestra will provide the entertainment. Even without the convention headliners, it’s a star-studded, big-name weekend for Las Vegas, with country king Tim McGraw entertaining in an outdoor concert at The M Resort, U2 with the Black Eyed Peas at Sam Boyd Stadium, LeAnn Rimes at Treasure Island, Stone Temple Pilots at Star of the Desert Arena, Alice Cooper at The Orleans and much, much more.
