How Zumba Love Will Save the World

Looking for a solution to the world's problems? You won't find it in a board room or office! If you want to see where real change happens, start looking on the DANCE FLOOR!

With our love, we could save the world.

Sunday afternoon we gathered at the Halifax Ambulance Building for TIED TO THE CAUSE: AN ACS BENEFIT CLASS. Our mission? To raise funds for the American Cancer Society on behalf of our Relay For Life team, Z Cats (can you guess what the Z stands for?).

So what did these Zumba divas do to raise money for a cause they are passionate about? They grabbed their ties, straightened their mustaches, and DANCED! But this wasn't the first time they showed their ZUMBA LOVE...

When the church that hosted our Zumba classes held a drive for plastic bags, they brought them by the carload so that blankets could be make for the homeless. When one student's brother was diagnosed with cancer, they make donations and attended fundraisers in support of the family. When my own family was struck with ALS, they showed immense caring and concern (and they still do)! THEY INSPIRE ME!!

And here is something amazing to consider... 

According to Zumba.com, over 14 million people a week in 150+ countries attend Zumba dance-fitness classes.

Imagine the cumulative power that 14 million Zumba students have! 14 million! Think we can't make a difference? YOU'RE WRONG! Sunday's Zumba benefit class is proof! And we represent just a small battalion in our neon-colored ZUMBA ARMY!

Let's work CHUGETHER (that's a shout out to Zumba's founder, Beto Perez), show our ZUMBA LOVE, and CHANGE THE WORLD! I know just where to start...  I hope you'll join me on the DANCE FLOOR!
