Zumba Halifax Cinco de Mayo Fitness Party

We all love the North Woodside Community Centre in Dartmouth, but our Wednesday night classes have been getting uncomfortably hot and crowded in the multipurpose room we've been using. Since the Gym is only available to us once a month on Wednesdays, starting May 5, 2010 our Wednesday night class will be held in the Aquatic Room at Mic Mac Aquatic Club located at 192 Prince Albert Road in Dartmouth, overlooking beautiful Lake Banook. The class time will remain the same: 7:30 - 8:30pm.

Thank you Beto for changing people's lives with Zumba!!!

What They're Saying...

Throw Away Your Inhibitions

A session of Zumba, a cardio-dance routine, can feel like a trip to the nightclub of a cruise ship, where a well-toned crew member teaches you to wiggle your hips and do the fast footwork for a mix of dance styles to the thump of loud music. While Zumba crowds are not plied with alcohol, people often throw away inhibitions — they pump their arms, applaud, let out “yeahs” — as they work out.
