Zumba and Step classes a fun way to stay fit and meet new people

Every Tuesday and Thursday from 6 to 7 pm a very energetic group meets for a Zumba class.

Since February last year, Puente has been offering Zumba and Aerobic Step classes twice a week. We invite people to come and try it out. This is a really fun way to stay fit, learn and practice some latino dance steps and meet new people!

Classes are held at the Pescadero Elementary School and are free of charge.

Instructors for this class are provided by Vision y Compromiso, a Non-Profit organization based in Redwood City.

Other support for this program is provided by Bella Vista Foundation..
