\"Northbrook<\/a>We\u2019ve been extolling the virtues of fitness all through February and the turnout of students for our parties and events has been terrific. We\u2019re going to cap this great month on Friday, Feb. 26, with our Fabulous February Fitness Party.<\/strong> You will so enjoy this!<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll start with a Zumba group class taught by Ali Margolis at 7:30 p.m. Zumba is a dance fitness program with South American roots that began in the 1990s and it\u2019s still going strong. It provides a great workout to fabulous music.<\/strong><\/p>\n

You won\u2019t even realize you are burning calories and getting fit! You don\u2019t have to know how to dance, just move your body and follow the leader \u2014 it\u2019s easy!\u00a0 Whether you are new to ZUMBA or have done it before, ZUMBA offers a total body workout as well as a challenge.<\/p>\n

Our Zumba class is for everyone \u2014 men and women of all ages are welcome to take part in this invigorating, high energy workout that makes fitness fun!
\nIf you hate to work out but love to dance, Zumba is for you!<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll segue into a practice party at 8:15, which will be where students get an opportunity to practice their social dancing together. The event is free to students and their guests, and we\u2019d be happy if you just feel free to dress in your favorite workout gear.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dance is a perfect combination of physical activity, social interaction, and mental stimulation. Dancing enhances your life in so many ways: Health, Confidence, Self-Expression, Social, Relaxation, and Fun. When you dance, your cardiovascular system improves, your muscle tone increases and you burn calories.<\/p>\n

This low-impact aerobic activity also increases flexibility, strength, and balance. Olympic athletes often dance as part of their training to sharpen their control, agility, and speed. Dancing is great exercise, and our studio offers a pleasant, fun atmosphere in which to learn.<\/p>\n

Stay fit and have fun! Join us on Friday, Feb. 26 at 7:30 p.m. at the Fred Astaire Dance Studio of Northbrook for our Fabulous February Fitness Party.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
