Free Zumba Classes will be held in the Sixth District this winter, thanks to Councilman Dee Andrews, who has been hosting a free Zumba event in October for the past two years in honor of breast cancer awareness.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re looking to get fit or stay fit during this holiday season, Zumba might be right up your alley. The cardio class uses a mix of Latin and International music to create a high-energy, fun and effective workout. According to the release, the sessions are designed using an interval training format, combining different rhythms with movements meant to tone and sculpt the body.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo stay fit, we must move the body,\u201d said Andrews in a statement. \u201cZumba is pretty much the most awesome workout ever. Dance to great music, with great people, and burn a ton of calories without even realizing it.\u201d<\/p>\n

The event was created by Long Beach local Michele Scott, an ambassador for the Susan Komen Breast Cancer Awareness and a member of The Rock Church, according to the release.<\/p>\n

\u201cI created this event because it is my passion to give back to the community and to raise awareness about cancer,\u201d said Scott in a statement.<\/p>\n

Two classes, which are free and open to the public, will be held on the following Saturdays: November 14 and 21, December 5, 12 and 19 and January 9 and 23rd. The class times are 11:00AM to 12:00PM and 12:15PM to 1:15PM. For more information, please call 562.570.6816.<\/p>\n

The classes will be held at the Ernest S. McBride Park Gym, located at 1550 Martin Luther King, Jr. Avenue.<\/em><\/p>\n
