For those of you “Zumbaholics” out there, (you know who you are) you know what this means! Two hours of pure joy, fun, friends and gathering together to raise money for our friends at Susan G. Komen for the Cure® St. Louis Affiliate! For you potential newbies new to our passion, the third annual Caliente for the Cure is a 2-hour Zumba® Fitness class (a Latin dance-inspired fitness-based workout) where 100% of the registration fees benefits the St. Louis Affiliate. It’s a yearly event that has to date raised over $24,000 for local St. Louis breast cancer programs and research.
So, what about this calorie melting, you ask? Zumba classes are known to burn 400-600 calories PER HOUR. The class is choreographed to types of movements that maximize your fat-burning potential. It’s a whole body workout that is not only effective it’s fun! That’s why it’s nicknamed a “party” in disguise. Zumba Fitness is an atmosphere of health and happiness. You need not be a dancer to enjoy this form of exercise. It is suited for those who are either a beginner or advanced at exercise.
With the help of generous sponsors such as, ClubReady.com, the Nu-Era Group, Vantage Credit Union and many others, Caliente for the Cure is looking forward to this year’s biggest event yet. We invite you to come out and join us on Friday, June 10, 2011 at the “J” (Jewish Community Center) in Creve Coeur. There will be door prizes, raffles for amazing donated gifts and more.
To register for the event, for more information or the option to just donate for the cause, please go to www.calienteforthecure.com. Shirts are also available for purchase and 100% of proceeds also get donated to the St. Louis Komen for the Cure Affiliate!
