Exercise Your Way Through Stress with ZUMBA®!

Forget all the curveballs life throws at you this holiday season; de-stress by dancing!

Start your morning off with Zumba®! The Whole U is hosting a free Zumba workout in the HUB South Ballroom on Tuesday, November 18, from 8:00 – 9:00 a.m. Dancing not only releases endorphins to boost happiness, but also increases your energy for the day, and decreases your stress. So much can come from a dance workout.

Unfamiliar with Zumba? In a nutshell, it’s a dance fitness party. Inspired by various Latin American dance styles such as salsa, merengue, and the cha-cha-cha, Zumba also mixes in hip-hop. Participants learn to swivel and shake their hips to energetic beats all the while benefiting their heart, head, and waistline.

Grab some colleagues, try something fun and new, and unwind for an hour. And if you’re a Zumba veteran, show us your awesome moves – this Zumba routine is appropriate for all-levels.

This workout will be led by your UW colleagues Daren Wade, clinical instructor for Global Health and director for the Global Health Resource Center, and Meghan Fitzpatrick, communications specialist for the Northwest Center for Public Health Practice. Both are licensed Zumba instructors and will demonstrate a typical routine.

Be sure to bring workout clothes, athletic shoes, a towel for sweat, and a water bottle – you’ll be tearing up the dance floor!
