Jingle Bell Zumba® Combines Fitness And Holiday Fun

It can be difficult to maintain a fitness regimen during the busy, and often food-filled, holiday season.

Palatine Park District is making it a bit easier with a special Jingle Bell Zumba class from 8 to 9 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 12, at Birchwood Recreation Center, 435 W. Illinois Ave., Palatine. The class will feature Zumba moves set to holiday music with instructors Del Crawford, Beth Gonzalez and Lisa Hoppe.

According to Crawford, "This special event class offers the best of all worlds, including festive music, fantastic Zumba moves, and lots of holiday cheer."

This evening fitness event will include 60 minutes of Zumba, free raffles and giveaways for all participants; festive holiday attire is encouraged.

Group fitness participant Amanda Catfield calls this special class "the best way to dance the fruitcake away."

Preregistration is $8 for residents and $10 for nonresidents. If space permits, registration will be taken at the door for $10 per person. Registration can be completed using program number 322160-15 online at palatineparks.org or in person at Birchwood Recreation Center, Community Center, or Falcon Park Recreation Center.
