Zumba is the latest exercise craze, and it is coming to Christ Church! What is Zumba? The largest Latin inspired fitness program in the world. Zumba uses Latin and international music to create fun and effective cardio and body sculpting workouts. Easy to follow dance steps make this exercise feel more like a party atmosphere than an exercise class. “Zumba is something I look forward to doing. It is a really positive, uplifting workout experience”, says Cathy McNamara. The instructor, Debbie Colditz, has taught dance for 17 years and is a certified Zumba instructor. Classes are Tuesdays, June 17 through August 26, 9:30 a.m.-10:30 a.m. in the CLC. $24 for a 4-week session and $8 for walk-ins.
