Mix and Mingle

If you love to dance, you'll love the Zumba classes at Rye Recreation. "They're the quickest way to learn all the dance moves—Latin, salsa, tango, flamenco and more,” said teacher Jill Doornick. "We do them all in one-hour classes and work off a pound in the process!” Zumba classes are offered Tuesday and Thursday from 7:45 to 8:45 p.m. and Saturday from 10 to 11 a.m. Each session is $15 per person, $20 per couple.
