So, let’s stay fit together no matter the weather!

Zumba is a Latin inspired dance fitness class that is good for all ages and experience levels.  You don't have to know how to dance to do Zumba.  For one hour a week the only thing you have to focus on is dancing and having fun.   Come dance your day's stress away to upbeat Latin and American Music!  Wear comfortable clothes and sneakers with as little tread on the bottoms as possible so as not to tweak your knees.
