Zumba Classes for the Over 55’s

In Search of Hope – by Sam Gannon

Seconded to the parish of Tililngdon, the Reverend Dolores has been presented with a challenge.

She’s living in an antiquated house and she’s cold. Furthermore, her new Bishop, Bishop Alice does not approve of ‘showgirls in dog collars.’

Determined to prove the Bishop wrong, she sets about warming her house – who cares if it smells of horse! There is the crochet club, jumble sale, and soup run to organise. And this year, the church bells will ring, no matter what threats are made. Even more so, the newly formed choir will spread a little joy this Christmas, even though they can’t sing – yet! And with a little help from Phil, her bassist, this year could be full of magic.

However, she has a fight on her hands as the townies out in Knob Hill – she must stop calling it that, are trying to stop her from ringing her bells. When Krystal with a K decides to do some volunteer work, Dolores sets out to see just how committed she really is.

Up to her ears in granny squares and squawking choristers, Dolores is revving up for Christmas, yet a deeper darker secret is beginning to emerge!

A secret that could blow the whole parish apart and put Dolores in danger.

“ZUMBA GOLD” is a project promoted by the ACAPORAMA Training Academy, in partnership with the FT-Fitness Team Association.

The project is aimed at people aged 55 and over, who like to dance and exercise in a relaxed way. With easy Zumba choreography and slower rhythms, it aims to work on motor coordination, balance and range of motion, allowing people with more physical limitations to adopt a healthier lifestyle.

Classes will take place at Casas do Povo in Ponta do Sol, Tabua, Caniçal and Ponta Delgada.

For those interested please enquire at your local Casa do Povo, or phone the Acaporama Training Academy on 291 761 460.
