Happy Halloween

Even though we had our Halloween party last Friday, October 26th, some of us still dressed up.

I'll be sure to post some pictures from our party...soon. Lots of great costumes & food, t-shirt giveaways and best of all, good company!

Here's a few clips of class this morning. The videos are of the safe routine, one filmed by Maki and the other by myself. In the video Liu is doing a Fijian Meke with the men from our group.

Party In Pink / New Videos / Upcoming Events

Sorry a little behind on the blog updates. Last Friday we had our Party In Pink. We encouraged everyone to come decked out in PINK and that they did.

Here's a video from that morning:

After class we decided to film a couple of routines.

Here's a few clips as we were prepping for the shoot:

And that's what happens when you are the only guy instructor working with a bunch of women.

On Friday we taped 2 of Liu's routines & then two of Satomi's.

Here's a random clip we had to cut because the camera person wasn't quite ready:

And here is the final footage for both routines:

And here's Satomi's:

Hope you enjoy our videos!

Also, a reminder, this Friday, October 26th is our Halloween dress up party.. Come dressed in a costume you can workout in. We are also doing a breakfast potluck. There is a sign up sheet and if you don't get a chance to sign it, just bring whatever. On Halloween Day itself, October 31st, no food, but if you'd like to dress up, go for it! Us instructors will be dressing up, so join us!

Next month, there are a couple dates to remember, November 12th and 28th. More details coming soon!

Breast Cancer Awareness Month

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Zumba Fitness classes all around the world put on a big event to raise money to go towards various charities that support this cause. Last Friday, several of our EMZ instructors that teach at Northwest Rec Center participated in a 2 hour Zumbathon. A great turnout for a great cause.

Check out Lila leading 'El Party'...and of course, several of our regulars at EMZ were front and center. Thanks again for your never ending love and support in all the events we participate in.

This weekend, there is another event going on put on by Camilo Jimenez (he's been a guest at EMZ) & Kass Martin (ZES). Information below & here's the link to buy tickets - BUY TICKETS.

And leaving you with another video from our class. This footage was taken this morning. The gentleman on stage with us is new. It's only his second week. He's been a good sport to come on stage with Suka. And of course, Suka showin' us all how it's done!
