Zumba Adds Curves

Curves and Zumba Fitness have developed a 30-minute class that mixes the dance moves of Zumba with the strength training of Curves for one workout. Curves of Vineyard Haven invites Islanders to try it free for a week.

All ages, fitness levels and dance abilities can participate. During the 30-minute class, participants work out on each strength machine for one minute, when music cues them to move to the center of the circuit where a licensed Zumba instructor teaches simple, modified Zumba moves.

The Martha’s Vineyard Sharks, the Island’s new collegiate baseball team, signed their first Vineyarder to the team this week. Tad Gold will play center field for the inaugural 2011 season starting in June.

“I’m just excited to get started,” Tad said yesterday afternoon. “It’s exciting to be playing in front of my home fans again on the high school field . . . I don’t know what to expect. Go out there and win games is what it’s all about at this point.”
