Scottsdale recreation offers free “demo” classes
Looking for something new this summer but not really sure if you want to commit? Scottsdale Parks and Recreation has a great opportunity for both residents and non-residents – free introductory classes!
From belly dancing and Pilates to “Itty-Bitty” sports geared to those as young as age 2, Scottsdale has more than 30 free “demo” classes available beginning the week of May 14.
“Classes are what life is all about,” said class programmer Tracey Sosna. “These free clinics provide the perfect sample of lifelong learning opportunities in Scottsdale without any cost or commitment.”
Being able to “test drive” a recreation program is important for local parents like Joy Racine.
"Raising a 5-year-old and a 3-year-old, we learned quickly how much their focus changes on a regular basis,” she said. “We participated in a free clinic this spring which allowed us to try a variety of sports and it really helped in deciding what classes to sign up for.”
Participants in the free introductory classes get an opportunity to meet the instructors and see if the classes are a good fit. Offerings include a sampling of classes and programs regularly available throughout the year.
Leisure Education classes are offered at numerous locations. Class topics include art, fitness and personal development for all age groups.
Get more information by calling the Leisure Education Office at 480-312-7957.
