Mr. Myers
Lincoln Don’t Lie
Bopology
Zydeco Voodoo
Mr. Myers blends the tropical
sounds of calypso and ska, the
rhythms of reggae and a little rockn-roll with some favorite classic
tunes to create their own special
style of music—Caribbean Rock.
Mr. Myers’ unique combination of
musical styles never fails to entertain audiences everywhere.
Lincoln Don’t Lie performs today’s
top 40 modern country music and
adds their own unique spin by creating “country-fied” versions of pop
and alternative tunes.
From the swingin’ 40’s to the
21st century, that feeling we call
“swing” is made even more appealing by Bopology. This renowned
six-piece Chicago band was
playing swing before swing was
cool. Featured on WTTW’s “Wild
Chicago,” the band boasts a lineup
of well-known musicians.
Zydeco Voodoo plays a mix of New
Orleans and Mardi Gras music as
well as popular rock and blues
adapted to the New Orleans style of
music. Their family friendly performances get the audience dancing
and singing along.

1. Pets must be on a leash.
2. Alcoholic beverages are not allowed in any park or facility.
4. For park hours and locations, please see page 7. Any section
or part of any park may be declared closed to the public by the Director
of Parks and Recreation at any time for any interval
of time.
The Iowa Community Center and Community Recreation Building are
available for rent. In addition, we have many neighborhood park locations
for your celebrations!
Rotary Park has many picnic amenities, including restroom facilities, two
horseshoe pits, a baseball diamond, a picnic shelter, and an expanded
handicap accessible playground. This centrally located park has enough
parking to easily accommodate 20 cars, too!
Another great location for a family gathering is Twin Lakes Park. Located
in the north central section of the Village, this newly renovated park has a
playground, picnic shelter, two lakes for fishing, soccer and baseball fields,
natural areas, restrooms, and on-site parking.
We also rent party equipment bags, which contain a variety of sports
equipment to make your outdoor party even more FUN! Rental forms
are available at the Iowa Community Center and Community Recreation
Building. Call 630-834-8970 or 630-834-8525 for rental fees, availability
and rental regulations. Requests are accepted now on a first come, first
served basis.
Americans With Disabilities Act
We comply with the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) which
prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability. ADA requires that
all recreation programs and services through the Village of Villa Park be
available in the most integrated setting appropriate for each individual.
We work cooperatively with the Northeast DuPage Special Recreation
Association (NEDSRA) to provide a “leisure buddy”, or other service for
those individuals requiring assistance for participation in our programs.
For those with special needs, the support and encouragement provided by
the leisure buddy may be the key ingredient to enjoyment and successful
participation.
If any special accommodations are necessary for participation in any of
our programs, or to receive any service available through the Village of
Villa Park, please notify someone on the Village staff upon registration.
Vandalism
Please notify VILLA PARK • Parks and Recreation immediately if you see
broken play equipment, damaged park benches or vandalism to athletic
fields or any park facilities. You can do this by visiting www.vprd.org and
completing a service request.
The Summer 2016 season is the last season the vprd.org website will be active. Beginning
September 1, 2016, VILLA PARK • Parks and Recreation will exclusively use InVillaPark.com.
Please call 630-834-8970 if you have questions or need clarification.

EARLY CHILDHOOD (CON’T)
.......................................................................................................................
Preschool
2016-2017 School Year
Our program is licensed by the Illinois Department of Child and
Family Services. It is designed for your 3, 4 and 5 year old child.
Enrolling your child in our preschool program will give your child
the advantage they need to succeed in school and beyond.
Making new friends and discovering new concepts are just some
of the exciting encounters children will experience. Our enthusiastic teachers genuinely care and understand each child's individual
developmental needs and learning styles. They take the time to
help each child discover, in his or her own way, a fascinating
world of learning and play.
Children will learn personal and social skills such as eagerness to
learn, managing transitions, and playing harmoniously with others.
Language and literacy skills will be introduced such as following
one or two step directions, using pictures to communicate ideas,
alphabet knowledge and listening with interest to stories read
aloud. Mathematical thinking will come into play with patterns,
sorting, number concepts and spatial relations. Gross motor skills
will be taught with active play such as riding a tricycle, jumping on
gym mats and climbing on a playground ladder. Fine motor skills
include copying their first name, cutting with scissors and active
play with playdough. Children will also learn the arts through
identifying different colors, participating in group music experiences and taking on pretend roles and situations. All these skills
are essential for your child to have a successful Kindergarten
experience.

The Discover Dance Teams consist of performance
teams that partake in numerous Villa Park based
festivals and events throughout the year, in addition
to the Discover Dance Recital. The Discover Dance
Teams will rehearse and perform through March 2017
(approximately) with the option of extended Spring
and Summer participation (separate registration
fees). Participation is by placement only and requires
enrollment in at least one additional technique class
(excludes Hip Hop, general Combo classes and
Dramatic Dance). Placement is based on each dancer's technique and performance abilities (age is only
used as a general guideline). Please come prepared
in a leotard and tights with jazz shoes and arrive 15
minutes early to complete necessary paperwork.
Can't make the date but still want to participate?
Please contact Artistic Director, Debbie Wiess with
any questions at [email protected]

FITNESS CLASS DESCRIPTIONS
CSI—Cardio Strength Interval
This class will utilize a variety of equipment with alternating segments of
cardiovascular and strength training to give you a total body workout.
Kettlebell Training
Kettlebell training engages multiple muscle groups at the same time. The
abdominals and stabilizing muscles spring into action as we complete functional movements useful for everyday activities. All of these total body moves
teach the body to work as one unit, improving balance and coordination,
along with strength and endurance.
Mind Body Recharge
This powerful fusion of movements from yoga, pilates and strength training
with weights will leave you feeling toned, balanced, energized, and relaxed!
Prime Time Strength and Stretch
For the young at heart. Tone muscles and increase balance and flexibility
with light cardio, strength training and gentle Yoga. You will gain the benefits
of focus, clarity, stress reduction and overall balance and strength.
Zumba®
This class incorporates Latin and international rhythms along with dance
steps like salsa, merengue, cha cha and more in a class that is fun and easy
to do. Zumba® brings a party atmosphere into your workout.
Zumba® Gold
This class is perfect for beginners, older active adults, or individuals new to
exercise. Much like Zumba® this class combines high energy and motivating
music with unique moves and combinations that are easy to follow.
Zumba® Toning
When it comes to body sculpting, Zumba® Toning raises the bar (or rather,
the toning stick). Learn how to use lightweight, maraca-like Toning sticks to
enhance rhythm and tone all target zones, including arms, abs and thighs.
Zumba® Toning is the perfect way to sculpt your body naturally while having
a total blast. All fitness levels are welcome. Burns 500-1000 calories an hour.

Swim Lessons
SWIM LEVEL DESCRIPTIONS
Swim lessons meet Monday through Friday. A progress report is
issued at the conclusion of each session. All levels of classes are
offered at both Jefferson and Lufkin Swim Pools.
If you are not sure what level your child completed last year,
when registering for this year, please call and we will be happy
to assist. If your child’s skills are assessed and determined more
fitting for a level other than what they are registered for, we will
recommend a transfer to the appropriate level. Swimmers in each
level will be separated, according to skills, to allow for maximum
achievement. If you register your child for more than one session,
please register them in the same level. If your child advances to
another level, for a following session, we guarantee you a spot at
the time of your choice. Please be aware that it may take more
than one session to advance a level. Goggles or masks that cover
the nose are not permitted during swim lessons.
Swim lessons will be held if it is raining or if the temperature is
cool. Only in the event of severe inclement weather will lessons
be cancelled. Unfortunately, there will be no make-up lessons and
no refunds. If we have to cancel due to weather or facility issues,
a program credit will be issued. Please register early, lessons fill
up quickly.
Preschooler; Ages: 3-5
Your child will develop a high comfort level in and around the
water and a readiness to swim. However, this level will not teach
your child to be an accomplished swimmer or how to survive in
the water.
Beginner: Water Exploration and Primary Skills:
Ages: 5 and older
Your child will develop a comfort level in the water and will learn
skills such as floating and rhythmic breathing. You must register
your child in this level if they have not had previous lessons and/
or are not comfortable in the water.
Intermediate: Stroke Readiness & Development
Basic strokes will be introduced along with treading water. Your
child must be able to swim comfortably on their front and back
and be comfortable in deep water. Rescue breathing is the safety
issue introduced.
Advanced: Stroke Refinement, Proficiency and Advanced Skills
Your child will continue to improve stroke technique and build
endurance. The breaststroke, butterfly and sidestroke will be
introduced. Safety topics include spinal injury management and
advanced rescue skills.
