From ALL of us with the Zumba with Joan Minnery --- MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! We sincerely hope to kick up our heels with you again when the winds blow us all together again and as safely as we can. Stay tuned HOWEVER for a possible ZOOM Zumba coming your way over the holidays and if the lockdown continues...

Bring local voices to your home this Christmas!!! Sing-a-long to Carefree on the Crossbar, feel inspired by listening to Try; remember your first pets by humming along to My Dog Charlie; feel invigorated for personal growth by learning all of the words to What Is Love; and follow the path to where dreams come true by the ear-worm chorus of Feet On The Stage!!! Just a few of the 20 songs all together ... all original, all written this year ... and all ready to SiNG iT Loud ... SiNG iT Proud ... Whatever It Takes!!!

Keeping everyone in the loop --- we will NOT be considering starting back to Line Dancing OR Zumba until at least after Thanksgiving Weekend in October and at that point, we are going to reassess the world Covid-19 situation and reassess our 'responsibilities' in keeping people safe and our own liability. This has been decided between the Church Elders with total and complete support from Keith and I. Please stay tuned as there may be a bit of a glimmer of 'some' sort of hope of us conducting much smaller classes at Dance Xcetera in a more formal dance studio. I'll keep you updated...

ZUMBA PEEPS --- We are coming back in September --- stay tuned!!! There will be a few changes in cost, times and obvious Covid-19 Protocols and such but our feet will dance again. I'll be updating everyone soon ---- of course, this is all pending approval but so far, so good!!!

Brantford’s Justin Benin (AKA KIDD DREADD) and Bill Minnery are last-minute entries in the Canadian 20K Summer Song contest with their original song HEARTBREAKER. Their Rap/Rock Ballad is written by Kidd Dreadd and features Bill on lead vocals on the chorus and on guitar throughout the song. While better late than never --- their very popular song is quickly trending on YouTube with their brand-new Music Video (which is part of the contest) and has been released within th...e Summer Song 20k contest. With over 2000 entries --- the very tough decision now is for judges to choose 10 songs; regardless of the outcome, congrats Justin and Bill on all of your successes with this song.

Hey Zumba Peeps: So, a wee bit of an update on OUR particular Zumba classes. I know that for certain any organized fitness programs at Grand River Health Centre will probably not be resuming for the interim while Covid-19 is still very prevalent and due to the fact that the building houses a great deal of folks with compromised immune systems and it is primarily a medical facility, we don't anticipate anything happening for OUR classes on Monday and Thursday mornings. HOWEV...ER...I have been assured that we WILL discuss this further in mid-September pending Covid-numbers and all safety precautions. As for our evening classes...that is still up in the end pending board approval by the Church and adhering to my new schedule with my new position at Dance Xcetera. I can tell you for certain we won't even contemplate anything until after school resumes in September and then it's all going to be based upon safety and where we can find a happy "FIT" for our programs at the Board of Ed, the St. George Legion and Central Presbyterian. I also want to let you all know that IF you'd like to take part in something entirely different --- I will be teaching SONG & DANCE to adults and children in September. Which is singing and movement in organized dance routines and YES we are going ahead with our CROONERcize idea... I will keep you all updated...in the meantime, while you're waiting for us to open and you do go to another gym or find another instructor --- BE FITabulous and stay focused on your goals and your commitment to your journey. Until September....Joan & Keith....
