Free Zumba in the park San Francisco

Best deal in town

Stefanie from San Francisco

About me I grew up in Vacaville, 45 miles east of San Francisco, and moved back to San Francisco 3 years ago after spending 8 years in Washington, DC. While I was on the East Coast, the Bay Area was never far from my heart or email exchanges. People would constantly ask me, “What unique things should I do when I visit San Francisco?” I would write back pages and pages of suggest...
"San Francisco Recreation and Parks offers free Zumba 7 days a week! Classes are taught at all levels. My favorite class is Sundays in Golden Gate Park."

The best things in life are free and that is not something you come across very often in San Francisco.

San Francisco Recreation and Parks offers free Zumba 7 days a week! With over 40 classes in various parks around the city, the options are endless.

So what is Zumba? It's basically a non-stop dance party to Latin Music and Top 40 hits. Each instructor creates their own playlist and dance moves so you are sure not to get bored even if you go to several classes a week.

If you are new to Zumba, don't worry! Classes are taught at all levels. My favorite class is Sundays in Golden Gate Park. Class starts at 10:00 and meets in front of the Carousel. 

Some classes are held outside while others are in park buildings. Make sure to check the schedule to see if you are going to be dancing outside. The weather in San Francisco can change rapidly, so make sure to wear layers.

San Francisco combines the trappings of urban life: food, art, and music with true natural beauty. I love living in place where neighborhoods have a distin...
