Free “Zumba in the Park” is shimmying its way over to the campus of Redondo Union High School (RUHS) as part of Beach Cities Health District’s (BCHD) annual Summer Free Fitness Series – held Mondays at 6:30 p.m., August 1st–15th.

The free Zumba events will be held on the football field at RUHS and are specially designed to allow all members of the public, regardless of age or ability, to participate. There are even special songs and dances included just for the kids – so be sure to invite your friends and family!

Zumba – a fusion of low-impact Latin dance moves, upbeat music and calorie-burning aerobic movement – is led and choreographed each week by certified exercise instructors from BCHD’s Center for Health & Fitness. Since the fitness series’ inception in 2012, more than 13,000 participated in BCHD’s free offerings of Yoga on the Beach, Boot Camp and the ever-popular Zumba in the Park.

“We created the Summer Free Fitness Series to unite the community around physical activity in a fun, low-pressure environment that promotes health,” said Susan Burden, Beach Cities Health District CEO. “And from the beginning, the response has been tremendous, with crowds of 350 to 400 people showing up on a regular basis to break a sweat, have a lot of fun and create meaningful connections with fellow community members. This is a special event that I encourage everyone in the Beach Cities to experience for themselves.”

Though free of charge, registration is required to participate. Participants can avoid the lines by pre-registering online at bchd.org/freefitness.
