THE FREE POST-THANKSGIVING ZUMBA PARTIES!

I am holding some free classes at all three Bally locations I teach at in the first week of December - there will be ALL NEW music, prize giveaways, and class passes sold at a discounted rate. You can bring anyone (adult) you want to the events, so if there's a friend whose not a member of Bally this is the perfect chance. Everyone will be nearly on the same page since it's all new songs.

The Bloomfield Hills party will be Wednesday, December 2nd at 5:30 pm.
The Novi party will be Wednesday, December 2nd at 8:00 pm.
The Plymouth party will be Saturday, December 5th at 11:30 pm.

Looking forward to seeing you and your friends or family there! Happy Thanksgiving!
P.S. I am not cancelling any scheduled classes before or after Thanksgiving - no Thanksgiving break for me :)

Class Cancellations

I have planned to cancel my Warren Bally and Troy Bally classes until further notice. The class should resume after the holidays....I do plan on some promotional classes during the next few months so please look for my signs, get on my email list or contact me if you are interested in signing up for a January Zumba class. I will have to get a list of at least 8 people that want to buy class passes before I can begin a class in Warren or Troy again. Thanks! :)

Also, if you've experienced great results from my classes and are interested in a personal training session or package of sessions, please let me know.
