Drop-In ZUMBA ® @ East End Community Center

Perfect for anybody and everybody! Each Zumba® class is designed to bring people together to sweat it on. This is an inclusive dance fitness program for all adult-ages, fitness levels and body types — all you need to beable to do is enjoy moving to music! We take the "work" out of workout, by mixing low-intensity and high-intensity moves for an interval-style, calorie-burning dance fitness party. Once the Latin, Pop and World rhythms take over, you'll see why Zumba® Fitness classes are often called exercise in disguise. Super effective? Check. Super fun? Check and check.

Policies And Procedures

You may mail your signed registration form with payment to: Portland Recreation Office, 212 Canco Road, Portland, Maine 04103 or fax to (207) 808-5400. Mail-in registrations with payment may be sent at any time on or after the posted registration date. Registrations cannot be processed at schools or community centers unless otherwise specified. Registrations cannot be processed if incomplete or without payment. Registrations received after the specified deadline are subject to late fees. There is a $25.00 charge for returned checks, or any bank transaction with insufficient funds which incurs a cost to the Department.

An individual must meet age requirements of the program by the start date of the program. Walk-in registrations are welcome at our 212 Canco Rd office. You may also register online for many of our aquatic, ice skating and recreation programs by visiting REC.PORTLANDMAINE.GOV. Registrations are processed on a first-come, first-served PAID basis. Please be sure to fill out the registration form completely, including all children participating in programs and the RELEASE OF WAIVER agreements. Only credit card registrations may be done via fax, to 808-5400.

Register early as programs have a minimum and maximum enrollment requirement. If the minimum requirement is not reached after the registration deadline, the program will be canceled and you will be notified. If we are required to cancel a class or program, either a program credit or full refund will be granted. Individual programs may be canceled or postponed due to unfavorable weather conditions. We reserve the right to postpone, reschedule or cancel programs, change locations, substitute staff or make other changes as necessary. Childcare is not provided during adult programs. For program cancellations, please call our Recreation Information/Cancellation Hotline 756-8130 or visit us on Facebook or Instagram.

Portland residents have first priority in all classes and activities up to three weeks before the start of the program. Proof of residency is required when registering for programs. Residency priority means that the individual resides in Portland, Maine. Those individuals owning property in Portland and not living here do not qualify for residency status when registering for programs. We require an additional non-resident fee for programs, unless otherwise specified. Not all programs are eligible for non residents.

The City of Portland provides a fee waiver program. Limited fee waivers are available for Portland residents who have applied and qualified for the fee waiver program. All requests will be held in confidence and are considered on a household and yearly income basis. Proof of residency is required when applying for fee waivers. Fee waivers are granted on a first come, first served basis, per program. When a program has filled, we maintain waiting lists in the event that a space opens. There is no fee to be added to our waiting list. If a space does become available, fees would be collected at that time. Fee waivers only apply to certain youth programs run by the Recreation Department.

A full refund will be given for withdrawal from a program two weeks prior to the start date. An 80% refund will be given for withdrawal from a program one week prior to the start date. An 70% refund will be made for withdrawal from a program after the first week or class, but prior to the second week or class. No refunds will be given after the second week or class of a program start date unless accompanied by a written medical note.
