No partner necessary. 

12:00 Noon Zumba GOLD with CJ's Dance. 

Zumba® is fun...it's the type of exercise you'll want to do everyday and feel good about doing it! It's different. You probably never thought you'd be exercising to this type of music. It's effective. It is an aerobic workout, which we all know works. But it's more fun, which will make you stick with the program until you get results.

Perfect for those who would just like a little less intense 
workout with all the fun of regular Zumba. A great class for those with injuries, the elderly, those who've been deconditioned. Great for those interested in taking back-to-back classes, too
