2018 August PASO Magazine

With the blazing summer heat of August
upon us, it’s hard to imagine that fall is
just around the corner, but Recreation
Services is already busy planning a fall
lineup packed with lots of classes and
activities for all ages.
Look for the Fall Recreation Guide
arriving in your city water bill during the
first week of August. Below is a sneak
peek of some of the wonderful new
classes and a few returning favorites
that will be offered during the
fall season.
Local ukulele instructor Brian Schwartz
will be teaching a Ukulele 101 class for
students ages ten to adult
this fall on Monday
evenings beginning
October
22. Since 2016,
Schwartz has
taught over 200
people of all ages to
play this versatile instrument. His engaging
and highly entertaining classes have
become quite popular in other locations
around the county.
"The central coast is home to one of the
most vibrant ukulele communities in the
nation,” says Schwartz. “Students will
leave the class with the confidence to join
any of the many uke jams in the region."
Students will also receive a 100+ page
workbook to help them continue practicing
and learning even when the class is
over. "From Riptide to Purple
Rain, I've hand-picked more than
20 songs that are not only easy to
play, but fun to sing along to," says
Schwartz.“The ukulele is one of the
easiest, least expensive, and most
enjoyable instruments anyone can
learn to play,” Schwartz continues.
"Whether you are 10 years old or 99
years young, you will discover just
how magically the little four-stringed
instrument truly is."
The musical theme continues this fall
as Recreation Services welcomes
Cristina Averseng as a Zumba Gold
instructor. This low-impact aerobic
dance workout set to
Latin music is
designed specifically
for the mature
dancer. "Cristina's
classes offer a good workout,
but are nicely geared toward
those who have never Zumba'd,”
says Zumba Gold participant
Jeanine Bush. “After just a couple
of classes, it's easy to follow along,
move a lot and work off plenty of
calories! It’s far more fun than I
expected, now I am a regular." Cristina's
classes meet every Monday and
Friday at 9:30 am at Centennial Park.
For those looking for a faster paced
higher-impact Zumba workout, Jennifer
Loewen will take over the Zumba reins
from Tiffaney Henry beginning in
September, offering two evenings of
Zumba each week on Mondays at 6pm and
Thursdays at 7:15pm. Come Zumba at
Centennial Park!
This Fall, RV Workamping for Beginners will
return with new classes in September, October
and November for those who dream of packing
up and hitting the road while working and
volunteering in National Parks and various
tourist destinations all over our beautiful country.
RV Workamping instructors Don and
Joyce Wells will be teaching these two-night
classes drawing from their 35 years of
workamping and RV’ing experiences.
They’ll focus on the basics of how to
get on the road along with the ins
and outs of workamping.
