This class is for beginners and advanced beginners who want to revisit the basics. No partner is needed. Elizabeth Converse has been ballroom dancing since 2006 and has experience as both a lead and a follower. In 2019, she began teaching beginners ballroom.

This 1-hour class welcomes all fitness levels; prior dance experience is NOT required. The idea is to follow along and have so much FUN you don't realize you are getting a great workout. We dance to both popular and Latin music using basic Zumba Rhythms: Salsa, Reggaeton, Merengue, and Cumbia. Please wear comfortable clothing and sneakers and bring water. The best part is that there are no wrong moves; it's all about moving. Maureen attended her first Zumba class in 2017 and fell In love. She decided she wanted to share Zumba with others, and in February of 2024, she became a certified teacher.

6 classes, Thursdays, 4/3-5/15 (no class 4/24), 6:00pm-7:00pm, Village Gym, $65

Join the ukulele revolution! Here's your chance to learn how to play this wonderfully versatile, go-anywhere instrument in our no-stress program for beginners. There are four classes in all, one each week on Zoom. Bring a ukulele, your sense of humor, passion for music, and curiosity about playing. Once you master the basics, you won't want to stop. Will you be recruited to perform at Carnegie Hall? Well, not right away. But, as the saying goes, 'The best player isn't the person who can pick or strum the most notes. It isn't the person with the greatest technical skill. It's the person who can touch the most hearts.' So grab a uke, you don't need to read music - sign up, tune up and show up. If you don't own a ukulele, please get in touch with us for helpful information about buying one (uketime24@gmail.com). Let your musical journey begin! Duncan Perry, a multi-instrumentalist, has played ukulele for over 14 years. He is a popular and experienced teacher and performer who offers classes up and down the Southern coast of Maine.
