Enrichment Activites

 

Aqua Zumba
Mondays   8:00 - 9:00 a.m.
ongoing at the Newport Pool
Admission free with annual membership to the Pool or Rec. Center or by paying current drop in fee
Instructor: Shannon Rackowski

Zumba, the Latin-based dance and exercise phenomena has taken its moves to the water.  Like its land counterpart, Aqua Zumba is fused with all the great Latin beats and sounds, and is pinched with flavors of hip-hop, country, rock, soul, and other ethnic music.  Zumba in the water takes on a whole new environment: tempo, range of motion, center of gravity, body weight (10%), and of course, the water’s protective quality with less impact to joints or injuries of an individual.  Aqua Zumba will be taught by Shannon Rackowski who has more than 25 years experience in the fitness industry.
