Spanish - Beginning

Length: 8 weeks
Cost: $8 members

Instructor: Ernesto Almada

Description: ¿Habla usted Español? If not you can learn by taking our Spanish class. Spanish is both a vulgar yet romantic language! The history of the Spanish language in Spain and the origin of the dialects of Spain begin with the linguistic evolution of Vulgar Latin. From those humble beginnings, it has evolved into the most widely spoken Romance language, both in terms of number of speakers and the number of countries in which it is the dominant language with over 500 million Spanish speakers worldwide. Ernesto will focus on conversational Spanish.

Description: Does your favorite Christmas song include the line “Pa rum pum pum pum”? Do you just “want to bang on the drum all day”? Or do you just like to drum your fingers on the table? If so we might just have the perfect exercise class for you. Starting on March 3rd, we will be hosting Cardio Drumming, also known as Drums Alive, Exercise Drumming, DrumFit, Pound, and Fit Ball. Cardio Drumming is a type of workout that mixes a variety of standard cardio exercises with a fun and exciting drumming routine. It gets your body pumping out blood to your muscles and increases oxygen retention in your cardiovascular system which results in better overall health, can stave off depression and even has been shown to help clear your body of carbon dioxide and various other waste. Most importantly, cardio drumming is good for your heart and lungs. The instructor will be Julia Ragan We will provide the ball holder and drum sticks, you provide the ball and the energy to march to the beat of your own drum. Well sit actually. We will have some balls on hand but those are limited. The class is free, but donations for Julia are gladly accepted, and takes place on Wednesdays from 8:15 – 9:00 am, and starts with some stretching. After that it’s Buddy Rich time! Or for you younger folk, Ringo Starr.
