Zumba Fitness has teamed up with Susan G. Komen For the Cure and through the global “Party in Pink” movement, has raised awareness and over $460,000 for breast cancer research and community outreach programs.

Both Donna Scott of IFoundFitness and Cindy Lignar and Stacy Meisner of Squared Circle Studio run Zumba classes at their fitness studios in Deep River.  “There is a substantial and growing body of evidence to suggest that regular physical exercise is an important way that men and women can modify their lives to substantially reduce the lifetime risk of breast cancer so what better way of contributing to the fight for a cure than through a Zumbathon?” said the trio.

In addition to that Zumba is “infectious” and definitely one of the “hottest, most exciting fitness sensations,” Zumba combines an exciting dance party atmosphere full of Latin and international music. Dance steps are easy to follow incorporating Cha, Cha, Salsa, Reggaeton, Rumba steps and more.  “Best of all, you don't need any previous dance experience, there’s a great calorie burn and you will forget you are working out.

By joining forces and sharing Zumba Instructors Scott, Lignar and Meisner hope to raise significant funds for The Susan G. Komen For the Cure and intend to make this an annual event.
