Powered by GoogleLove the bouncy floor - good times dancing whether Line or Zumba 👢 💃
Very average, not creatively, choreographed Zumba classes with repetitive choreography and music . In addition, they advertised a Latin Zumba class that had one merengue-type move, No salsa, no Bachata and other than that it was the same choreography. I felt like I was duped. I know it appeals to some, but not for me.
Great public space with a variety of rooms for a multitude of purposes.
The Rec Center hosts awesome events regularly. Dancing and weddings as well as community performances. It's got a number of rooms at different sizes suitable for most any occasion and good balance of indoor and outdoor space.
Great for Saturday Jazzercize classes. The evening Zumba classes are fun but way too crowded and a bit pricey if you don't buy a multi-pass. Wood floor has some give to it, so makes it nice for a dance workout.
