Created for adult newcomers, this friendly class strengthens rhythm, footwork, posture, coordination, body control, confidence, and core Latin dance fundamentals. No prior dance background or partner is needed. Lessons focus on Cha Cha foundations, including essential patterns and timing, smooth weight shifts, lock steps, mindful footwork, whole-body coordination, and simple combinations, all introduced one step at a time.

The Waltham Farmers' Market brings together more than 35 vendors each week with a broad selection that includes fruits, vegetables, mushrooms, meat, dairy, seafood, baked goods, coffee, and more.

Berserk brings a family-friendly celebration of Norse culture with staged battles, hands-on crafts, music, and hearty Nordic fare. Two rival Viking camps set up on the lawn, where visitors can see historical tools, try traditional games, and watch combat demonstrations that build toward a dramatic final clash between the camps. Activities invite participation for every age group. Test your strength with a stone lifting challenge hosted by the New England Stone Lifters, practice basic warrior skills, and explore daily life inside the encampments. Younger participants can craft messages in runes, try simple weaving, and meet costumed Vikings to learn about gear and legend. Food and treats round out the experience. Inside Kaffestugan, find warm waffles, sandwiches, Nordic breads, prepared foods, candies, and other Scandinavian goods. Outdoors, Gunner’s Icelandic Hot Dogs serves the classic topped with crispy onions, sweet brown mustard, remoulade, and more. Tickets are available with tiered pricing. Adults are $20 in advance and $25 on the day, and children 12 and under are $10 in advance and $15 on the day.
