Please note:
Zumba® Toning classes are NOT drop in classes and you must register for the 8-week
session.  Registrants receive two Personal Passes and two Buddy Passes to use
during the session which can be used either as a make-up for a missed class or to
attend additional Zumba Toning or Zumba Fitness classes.  Buddy Passes can only be
used in Zumba Fitness classes and are not allowed for Zumba Toning classes.
You must bring or purchase your own toning sticks to use in class. Toning sticks can
be purchased from Nancy for $20 (includes tax and S&H), a $10 savings over the
online price of $30. Once you purchase toning sticks, they are yours to keep and use
throughout the session and in subsequent sessions.
Alternately, you may use a 1- or 2-lb dumbbell instead, but we think that once you
pick up the maraca-like toning stick, you won't want to put it down!
