Zumba® classes are a place of celebration, love and inclusivity. A place where hate and malice aren’t accepted, much less tolerated. We strive to keep that same energy both on and OFF the dance floor. Which is why we find the recent violence against the Asian community heartbreaking, sickening and unacceptable.
We stand with the Asian community around the world and want to use our platform to make a difference. We’re taking the first step in aiding by making a donation to Stop AAPI Hate, a coalition addressing anti-Asian hate amid the pandemic.
Join us in taking action against hate by donating to or volunteering at an organization close to your heart. Below are a few suggestions/resources for your consideration:
