Park district notes

From Roy Logan, program coordinator

[December 23, 2010]  Swing dance lessons are being offered by the Lincoln Park District at 1400 Primm Road. Castle Manor and the park district are sponsoring this together. Join us for five weeks, beginning Jan. 21, from 7 to 8 p.m. Lessons are designed with beginning dancers in mind. Each week another move will be taught and mastered.

Instructors are Ethan Tapscott and Emilie Lowe. Some of you who were at the recent USO dance at the American Legion may remember them. They are an awesome dancing couple.

Those not attending lessons are invited to join in for an open swing dance from 8 to 9 p.m.

Cost for lessons is $50 per person, $60 per couple, and the open swing dance is $5 per couple or $2.50 per person.

As we approach the New Year, many of us make a commitment to improving our health. As an incentive for current and prospective members, the park district is offering an extra month free to anyone joining the Sports Center for a one-year term. Anyone joining for a three-month period will receive an extra week.

The Sports Center features a strength room with both selectorized equipment and free weights; circuit room with multi-station training equipment and cardio-theater entertainment system; use of the walking and running track and basketball-volleyball courts during unscheduled times; and sauna. All group exercises and spin are included at no charge with certain membership levels.

You are invited to stop out during regular business hours and Roy will give you a free tour.
