Can you believe January has come and is almost gone?
Grand Forks Recreation (GFREC) staff has been busy creating programs to help get us through the month of February and into the spring.
Do you feel that you have two left feet when you try dancing? Gisela Ko can help you get your right and left feet in the proper positions with her adult ballet lessons.
The word ballet can be frightening to some but this is a great alternative to fitness classes. Dancing can teach us proper posture, exercises the mind and works on the inner-core muscles, making this a full body workout.
Classes will be held on Tuesday afternoons from 2:30 to 3:30 p.m. for six sessions. Deadline to register is Jan. 31.

GFREC wants to help keep you on track during these winter months by offering an opportunity to complete a triathlon in a month. You can choose your own distance and activity.
When you have completed the distance of choice, your name will be entered into a draw that will take place at the end of February.
Use this opportunity to start your training for the 2012 Christina Lake Triathlon that will take place on Sunday, June 24.
