Responding to growing demand, the John D. Spreckels Center is expanding its offerings to host Zumba Gold on Saturday mornings at 1019 7th Street.
The 10 a.m. low-impact dance fitness class will be taught by certified instructor Marg Stark, who lives in Imperial Beach after a decade in Coronado. The class accommodates working folks and adults of all ages who want to start the weekend on the dance floor.
“Zumba Gold is easier on the joints than regular Zumba, with no pivots or jumps, but it features all the fun of Latin and pop rhythms and simple choreography,” says Stark. “It’s often called ‘exercise in disguise’ cause it feels like you’re at the club — only you can do it without staying up late or heading downtown.”
The class emphasizes community, getting together for special occasions and doing flash mobs around town. Last year, together with Sue-Allen Villalva’s Zumba class, the group performed at the Coronado Film Festival’s beach screening of “Mamma Mia” and at Coronado MainStreet’s Small Business Saturday events.
Participants should wear sneakers and bring a water bottle to class. Walk-ins are $17, but registering for the monthly session drops the price to $12 for Coronado residents. Register online at https://ca-coronado.civicrec.com/ for Saturday classes.
