Zumba lessons: Learn latest craze, help Haiti
'Zumba Hearts for Haiti' event offers master class
Folks can dance, sweat and groove next week at Kismet Wellness to raise money for Haitian earthquake victims.
Zumba is a popular workout form based on Latin dance. The "Zumba Hearts for Haiti" event will be Friday, Feb. 12, from 6 to 7:15 p.m. at Kismet Wellness Center, 204 Andover St., second floor.
Participants are asked to pay a minimum $10 donation at the door. One hundred percent of money raised through donations and raffles at the event will go to "Operation T.H.E.R.E." a Haitian earthquake relief effort of Shoes 2 Share, a Delaware-based Christian nonprofit.
Shoes 2 Share was founded by an American couple who, after adopting two children from Haiti, have worked to end poverty, one pair of shoes at a time. Their organization sends new and gently used shoes, and medical supplies, toiletries and other necessities around the world.
The Feb. 12 Zumba-thon master class is open to the public and will be led by a team of six Kismet Zumba instructors. For more information on the charity visit www.shoes2share.com. For information about the Zumba-thon event visit www.kismetwellness.com or call 978-289-4155.
