Zumba involves dance and aerobic elements. Zumba’s choreography incorporates hip hop, soca, samba, salsa, merengue, mambo and martial arts. Squats and lunges are also included.
Help us help our ‘Kababayan’ (fellow Filipinos). The victims of Typhoon Haiyan need clean water and food. The best form of donation is money. If you don’t want to Zumba, you can still come and donate and watch the fun at Southbay Pavilion at Carson on Saturday, Nov. 23rd, from 8am—10am. If you’ve never been out to this FREE Zumba class, it is the biggest, most fun class, with more than 100 participants every Saturday! The classes are usually FREE, but the entrance fee for this class is designed to help the victims of the typhoon in the Philippines.

BOOKS WE LOVE Processed Woman: Your Purpose Is On The Other Side! By Dr. Shaurice E. Mullins Purchase at Amazon.com If you’ve ever questioned your purpose in life and are a woman old enough to read and young enough to still be blessed with good eyesight, this book is for you. In it you will find the tools to overcome your fears, gain confidence, discover your true purpose, and fulfill your destiny. Written by a single mother of five children, divorcee, and successful businesswoman, The Processed Woman:Your Purpose is on the Other Side addresses many of the life challenges that women may face during the course of their existence. It shares Dr. Shaurice E. Mullins’s experiences and personal coping strategies to help other women confront and overcome whatever obstacles they face in their own lives. Invoking her calling as an inspirational teacher, motivational speaker, and certified holistic life coach, Mullins teaches women about the soul-evolving processes involved in becoming who they were meant to be and tells them what it takes to follow their own unique paths. The simple advice and step-by-step instructions will help women from all walks of life and of all ages achieve stability, live purpose-driven lives, and learn from their higher power. Mullins’s holistic approach to ministry and simple teaching methods have been empowering men and women for over twenty years, and the Keys to the Kingdom, or K2K, success seminars and the Keys to the Kingdom Professional Coaching Institute she founded have equipped scores of people with the knowledge and insight needed to realize their dreams and possess the things their hearts desire.
