Zumba is a work out that involves dancing. Many people use Zumba to help them lose weight. It doesnt matter who you are you can zumba!

On Thursday, Jan 12, the special education students at Hanks got to try zumba for their first time.

“I think its a nice thing to do for them it gives them a chance to dance and have fun while they’re exercising”, said senior Angelica Rubio.

Some of the student council officers tried the activity with the kids.

“It was really fun,” said senior Sonia Saenz.  “The kids enjoyed themselves, and we got a little workout our selves. I’m a dancer, and Zumba made me sweat, a lot!”

Instructor Angelica Castaneda, junior, lead the kids on the workout as she does professionally, with other adults.

“Its not only a job, its a passion” said Castaneda. “I have fun while doing it, relaxing me and helping me deal with stress.”

Many more events will continue to have the special education kips entertained.
