Community Ed & Rec planning winter activities

Posted December 9, 2024

Plymouth School District Community Education & Recreation will offer more than 55 opportunities for all ages this winter, including 16 new offerings!

New dance fitness class

We’re planning a trial of a new dance fitness class called SHiNE, which provides a full-body workout combining cardio and toning with original choreography and hit music. This class, designed to be accessible to all levels, is rooted in jazz, ballet, and hip-hop.

We are offering two free trials this week to get feedback and gauge interest:

  • 5:45-6:15pm Tuesday Dec. 10
  • 9:30-10am Saturday Dec. 14

To reserve your spot, email jfrausto@plymouth.k12.wi.us with your name and the session(s) you will be attending.
