Zumbathon Charity Event for ARCS

Have you wanted to try Zumba? Want to get in on the party behind the buzz? Join your friends, family and Zumba dancers at all levels (from total beginners to more advanced movers-and-shakers) at a Zumba party to benefit AIDS-Related Community Services! Alex Wunderlich, an ARCS staffer, and her team of qualified and experienced Zumba instructors will lead you through two hours of dance moves designed to make you sweat!

The music starts at 2:00 pm on Saturday, October 8, 2011 and goes until 4:00 pm. It’s the perfect way to try out Zumba or show off your moves for a great cause.

Admission is just $20 per person, or for a donation of $30 you can reserve a VIP spot at the front of the room. All tickets benefit ARCS’ programs and services for Hudson Valley residents affected by HIV/AIDS. Water and light snacks will be provided.
