At the same time and in the same park, there will also be a youth program happening.

Join us on Wednesday, June 24th at 5:30pm for Zumba at Sobieski Park!

Zumba: A high-energy, dance-fitness party that combines interval training to boost cardio, core strength, flexibility, and balance to Latin, international, and pop music. No dance experience needed. Come join the party.

What to bring: Tennis shoes, water bottle, and a towel. Please note that class will likely be done in the grass and may have some uneven surfaces.

Want a fun program for the kids while you are working out? We have a Mini Movers program happening at the same time and in the same park! June's activity is Pickleball and Basketball and is open to youth ages 3+.

Winona Friends!

Water Aerobics on Tuesday or Thursday evenings at 6pm. Must register for the whole session and space is limited. We just opened registration and they are already half full. If you want to take these, register soon.

I am NOT teaching these, but we have two great instructors that will be. They will be completing a training with me and I'm excited to see them lead these classes!

Another one coming up that I will be teaching in St. Charles!

Barre class on Sunday, May 17th. Barre has always been one of my favorite formats to teach as it is highly accessible to people of all fitness levels, ages, and body types. It is a low-impact, high-repetition workout that builds strength and endurance without putting heavy pressure on joints. It is a great workout!

You can register for both through St. Charles Community Education. Follow the link, go to Adult Programs, and click 20/20/20 Fitness Class. Under that you will see Barre Fitness.

As most of you know, I had to make the challenging decision to close the dance studio this past summer. It was a hard decision, but one that needed to be made as I was no longer able to meet the demands and expectations of everything I had going on in my life. I am so thankful for the memories and friendships made and for the trust people had in me to be a small part of their children's lives. I am slowly getting things wrapped up such as performance company items, assistant items, finishing delivering photos, and posting a downloadable link from last year's recital. These have not fell off my radar and are being worked on.

I am excited to be able to teach throughout the community for various organizations and events, as well as taking classes for myself! I am slowly transitioning this page to communicate upcoming events & classes throughout our community (some that I am a part of and some that I am not) to hopefully provide a resource for those looking for dance & fitness related classes, events, and opportunities! Page name change is pending!

I am currently teaching a regular weekly Zumba class at Studio HALO (119 West 3rd Street) and have two dance events scheduled there as well. Any questions, please email me at: [email protected]

I hope to see you soon!
