Zumba is a fun and energetic fitness class based on Latin and other international dance. No dance experience is necessary because all the moves are easy to follow. All fitness levels are accommodated. Please wear athletic shoes (running/walking shoes, cross-fit shoes) and bring a bottle of water. Research has suggested that individuals with cancer who engaged in physical activity have shown an improvement in sleep, appetite, reduction and stress and can ease side effects such as nausea, pain and fatigue. Most importantly can improve your quality of life. Our Zumba is open to individuals living with cancer their caregivers. As well as individuals whose loved one has died from cancer.
