Linda Dickey
When I retired as a Library/Media Center Director, I discovered line dancing. I have taken line dancing classes for several years. I took Zumba classes at the Iowa Community Center and even became certified to teach Zumba. When I was asked to teach a beginner's line dancing class, I decided to share my love for teaching with my love of line dancing. We dance to many types of music, there are a variety of options in case participants find a certain step difficult. Participants are encouraged to come 15 or 20 minutes early to practice a step or dance that they find challenging. Line Dance is at 9:00 am on Fridays at the VPRC!
Patrick Johnson Jr.
Fitness has always been a big part of my life. I train not just to stay in shape, but to stay strong and healthy for the long run. My goal is to be able to move, play, and stay active with my family for years to come. Right now I’m working toward earning my bodybuilding pro card. I’m also a published author and getting ready to release my first novel soon. Both writing and training take consistency and drive, and I bring that same energy to the way I train my clients. I became a personal trainer because I want to help people feel better, move better, and enjoy life more. I want you to see fitness the way I do, as something that can truly change your life. Let’s build something strong together.
