Not sure what it means to Zumba? Well, consider it an\u00c2\u00a0exhilarating, effective, easy-to-follow, Latin-inspired, calorie-burning dance fitness-party that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s moving millions of people toward health. Since its inception in 2001, Zumba fitness has grown to become the world&#8217;s largest \u00e2\u20ac\u201c and most successful \u00e2\u20ac\u201c dance-fitness program with more than 12 million people of all shapes, sizes and ages taking weekly Zumba classes in more than 120,000 locations across more than 125 countries. At the Y\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Zumba party, we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll have\u00c2\u00a0a DJ and dance instructors on hand, as well as free refreshments and give-away prizes. For a $10 donation, you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll be supporting your neighbors, as all dance proceeds benefit the Y&#8217;s &#8220;We Build People&#8221; campaign. The campaign awards scholarships for\u00c2\u00a0membership and programs available to families in Orange and Chatham counties. Clearly we live in a community that cares, and despite the level of affluence many people enjoy, others are still in need. In 2011, local individuals, businesses and foundations contributed more than $190,000 to help people served by the Y through the &#8220;We Build People&#8221; initiative. At the Y, we trust lasting social change can only come about when we all work\u00c2\u00a0together. That\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s why strengthening community is our cause. No child, family or adult is ever turned away from the Y based on inability to pay for services. So, come on by at 6 p.m. on the 27th\u00c2\u00a0to Zumba for an amazing cause. People of all ages are welcome so bring your neighbor, parent, teen, friend or foe. No advance registration required.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Dale Pratt-Wilson<br \/>\n<em>Zumba Dance Benefit volunteer<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Chapel Hill-Carrboro YMCA will hold a Zumba Dance Benefit on Friday, Jan. 27, from 6-8 p.m.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-22936","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-opinion"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/carrborocitizen\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22936","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/carrborocitizen\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/carrborocitizen\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/carrborocitizen\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/12"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/carrborocitizen\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=22936"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/carrborocitizen\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22936\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":23101,"href":"https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/carrborocitizen\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22936\/revisions\/23101"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/carrborocitizen\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=22936"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/carrborocitizen\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=22936"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/carrborocitizen\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=22936"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
