Mindful Walking Wednesdays, 10-11 am Location: Crandic Park (51 Rocky Shore Dr, Iowa City) Register online or call 319-356-5220 Convener: Jay Gilchrist This ongoing drop-in group takes a leisurely stroll up (or down) the Iowa River. We start at Crandic Park and walk to the Iowa River Power dam, or along the Clear Creek Trail, or to Manville Heights. We walk all year, except on extreme weather days. We walk, talk, and quietly point to the changes in the seasons, trees, birds, and prairie flowers and grasses along our path. Questions? Contact Jay at jaygilchrist@gmail.com. Zumba is a fun, easily modifiable, low-impact dance class, good for heart and brain health, and a great way to meet new people! Zumba trains bilateral coordination and balance, enhances spatial awareness, processing speed, and working memory. We start with a warm up that introduces Latin dance steps, build on them during class, and end with cool down and stretching. No experience needed; just come join the party! Fee: $10/class or a discount for punch card ($7.50/class for those with ICSC’s low-income membership); pay instructor. ** Join us for a free Zumba Party on Jan 7 at 2 pm to give this fun workout a try! If you like to dance, enjoy music, are excited to learn choreography, and are comfortable performing in public, check out The Pomtastiks! We have 20+ choreographed dances and use poms and props to add fun and variety to each performance. We practice our choreography together weekly and at home using DVDs. New members welcome, so if performing in a high-energy dance group interests you, stop by a practice to meet us! For info, call Shirley at 319-351-5872. Membership required. The Pomtastiks!
