Skylah traveled with us to the Monster's of Hip Hop convention last weekend in Kansas City, MO. This young lady has to be one of the sweetest and most polite children on earth.

The Dancenter had a wonderful turn out Saturday morning at the Zumbathon "Halloween Party In Pink" for the Susan G. Komen Foundation. We had 2 full hours of Zumba Fitness and lots of great costumes. Our first guest was Lady Gaga (Dana Keblish) who also won the raffle. Michelle & Ashley Chick did a great job representing the Dancenter Mother & Daughter Team. We made a lot of new friends and we hope they will all visit our Zumba Fitness classes again in the future. The Dancenter is planning it's next Zumbathon the week following New Years so we can get back on track after the holidays and drop those dreaded pounds. Zumba Fitness Classes meet every Monday, Wednesday & Thursday at 6pm and Saturday at 10am. We are planning to add additional class times so watch for the update soon.
