SEATED ZUMBA GOLD Zumba movements are designed to mimic many typical Latin dance styles like salsa, rumba, and cumbia. Although traditionally many of these dances require use of your entire body, they can easily be adapted for people with mobility challenges. Many movements can be done with the upper body from a seated position in a wheelchair. Because so many different styles of music are usually incorporated into typical Zumba classes, participants join into the motions they feel most comfortable with. This class is a great way to strengthen the upper body as well as the lower extremities such as ankles and feet (if able). The class can be taken from your own wheelchair or from a regular chair.

FEBRUARY 28TH: MUSICAL TBA, WETUMPKA DEPOT PLAYERS, WETUMPKA, AL The Wetumpka Depot Players have a rich 37 year history of thrilling audiences with comedies, dramas and musicals! The historic Wetumpka train depot was deteriorating so in the spring of 1980, a small group of local residents decided to form a community theatre and put on the show, Nine Girls to help renovate the building. In the winter, the building was cold and audiences dressed in layers to stay warm. In the summer, patrons wore shorts and brought fans. But the shows were entertaining and the community rallied around the new group. The audiences enjoyed “tried and true” plays such as Count Dracula, Frankenstein and The Mousetrap.
