Zumba Adds Curves

Curves and Zumba Fitness have developed a 30-minute class that mixes the dance moves of Zumba with the strength training of Curves for one workout. Curves of Vineyard Haven invites Islanders to try it free for a week.

All ages, fitness levels and dance abilities can participate. During the 30-minute class, participants work out on each strength machine for one minute, when music cues them to move to the center of the circuit where a licensed Zumba instructor teaches simple, modified Zumba moves.

Wii Will Return

As part of its Focus on Fitness programming the Edgartown Library will launch a free Wii Dance Dance Revolution workout on Wednesday nights, beginning Jan. 26. This Wii workout combines fun and easy-to-learn moves with hit music from the last four decades.

The workout is open to participants of all levels of expertise age 18 and older. Coach Elyce Bonnell will lead the group through the moves. Water, healthy snacks and a workout log will be provided.

Been walking the walk but don’t know how to talk the talk? On Saturday, Jan. 22 Perry Garfinkel, a contributor to the New York Times, National Geographic and the Huffington Post, will lead an all-day travel writing workshop for those with the itch to tell their tales of the road.

The seminar will explore the entire writing process, from idea formulation to the finished product. So reach into your experience bag and come prepared with ideas.
