ZumbaGate! Press Uncovers Plan Of Zumba Lovers To Unite & Fight Cancer

Phyllis , Gerri, Wilson, & Vanessa Show ZumbaDaddy How It's Done!

 
 
Wilson was right.  They just couldn't resist.  The tale of ZumbaDaddy has gone from the blog to the headlines.  It had to be the neon shirt!  All kidding aside Zumba for Life has now taken on a life of its own.  As I mentioned in my last post the new look for ZumbaDaddy was revealed this past Sunday at a photo shoot at the Aviator for the Brooklyn Daily family of newspapers. However, it turned out that the newspaper wasn't just interested in the fashion evolution of ZumbaDaddy.  Lead reporter Colin Mixson is known to have a sense for when a story is about to explode, and this time was not different.  He has a way of putting you at ease with his casual interrogation.  I never realized that our conversation just days ago would turn into the expose that has the Zumba world abuzz. 
 
 
The Sunday shoot also provided an opportunity for our Zumba Certified Instructors to meet each other for the first time.  Phyllis Sorrentino, Gerri Santoli, Wilson Gutierrez and Vanessa Romano went from the lighthearted photo shoot into some serious Zumba planning.  Our fifth Zumba Instructor Melissa Lopez, the Fitness Chica, was out rockin the town to celebrate her birthday but had provided the group with her input prior to meeting.  They huddled with intensity. It was all about routine, song selection, tempo, and fun.  ZumbaDaddy clearly had recruited an inspired, motivated bunch.  What was even more exciting was the fact that each instructor agreed to form a fundraising team for the Bergen Beach, Mill Basin and Marine Park 2013 Relay for Life.  By forming a team each Zumba instructor will now be able to allow their recruited Zumba participants and followers an opportunity to pre-register for Zumba for Life online at the dedicated web page for the instructor.  This will also allow us to tally the registered participants signed up by the instructor to determine the winner of the Battle of the Zumba Instructors (the winner gets an Amazon Kindle donated by Best Buy). Finally, it will help us document participants for the purpose of submitting our World Record Attempt to Guinness.
 
Like in Zumba for Life our goal in Relay for Life is to unite in the fight against cancer. The word is out and cancer doesn't stand a chance! Please continue to follow the exploits of ZumbaDaddy and please register for Zumba for Life!Also, feel free to contact me or our Relay Committee if you wish to join at Relay for Life. This is an extraordinary opportunity to start the New Year off on the right track by having fun, by getting fit, and by joining your friends, family and community in a World Record effort to promote cancer awareness and to "Zumba for Life"!
 
 
Now that I look at that photo, it really was the neon shirt. :)
