Zumba Party

It’s all about ditching the workout, and joining the party.
For newbies, Zumba involves a blend of dance and aerobic elements that makes
working out a fun, exhilarating activity. The Recreation Center on the
Allendale campus will host a Zumba Party on Saturday from 3 to 5 p.m. where
anyone is welcome to come dance, get a workout and have fun all for a great
cause. All proceeds from the event will go towards the Make-A-Wish foundation
of Michigan. Cost for the event is $4 at the door. Students will need to bring
their GVSU ID, and outside guests must sign a waiver at the entrance of the Rec
Center. To help grant a wish and enjoy a night of fun, dance your heart out at
Saturday’s Zumba Party!

GV GrooVE! Ugly

Previous Ugly Sweater Concerts have exceeded capacity, so be sure to get there
early. For more information, visit GVSU’s event page.
