Party at the Y with Zumba

Valpo-YMCA-Zumba-instructorsThe Valparaiso Family YMCA is moving the party outdoors and into the pool! This summer Zumba participants will have the opportunity to get fit, have fun, and meet new friends in three different environments. On June 17, July 15, and August 12, everyone in the community is invited to Summer Zumba Parties at the new Y pavilion. The parties will be from 6 – 8 pm with a $10 entry fee. Registration is not needed.

Also new this summer is Aqua Zumba! Open to everyone, Aqua Zumba integrates the Zumba formula and philosophy with traditional aqua fitness disciplines, and blends it all together into a safe, challenging, water-based workout that’s cardio-conditioning, body-toning, and - most of all - exhilarating beyond belief! Register online at www.ValpoYMCA.org for three Tuesday classes at 4:15-5:00 pm or three Thursday classes at 8-8:45 am. Aqua Zumba begins the week of June 21.

The Valpo Y also continues to offer 17 indoor Zumba classes for Y Members, including low-impact Zumba Gold and Zumbatomic for kids. Class schedule and descriptions can be found on the Y website. The Valpo Y is located at 1201 Cumberland Crossing Drive.
