Session 1: Zumba Fitness    [.10 CEUs - VCRA]
5:00 - 6:00 p.m.

Emily Budd, RN

Emily will instruct the latest dance craze - Zumba- A Latin Inspired Aerobic Routine. Zumba is a unique, fun way to get a full body workout and to get in shape - a great way to start the weekend.

 

Emily holds a BS in Nursing from the University of Virginia and is a family practice nurse in Charlottesville. She studied Ccechetti ballet for 13 years in Northern Virginia and continued her dance training at UVA with Rhapsody Dance Ensemble. Emily also taught ballet and lyrical dance for 7 years. After an injury took her away from dance, she became a certified Zumba instructor which allows her to continue to use her dance background to inspire students to get a full body workout.

Diane Gray

Recently, Diane joined the online Living Legacy Project to record her lifestories. As she progressed within the site, she realized how little is written about the everyday lives of court reporters. So to not lose these memories, she created a group specifically for the VCRA where we can collectively write and share our unique experiences. Diane will be showing you more about the Living Legacy Project.
