SARC gauging interest in Zumba class
Sequim Aquatic Recreation Center staffers are considering the addition of a Zumba class to the facility’s offerings.
The proposed Latin/hip-hop dance/aerobics class would be from June through July and be taught by Staci Stratton, a Sequim High School graduate and exercise science major at the University of Idaho.
A Zumba workout mixes body-sculpting movements with easy-to-follow dance steps mainly derived from Latin music.
