Zumba Combats Childhood Obesity with North American Movement

17% of all U.S. adolescents and teenagers are considered obese, and that number is on the rise. September marks National Childhood Obesity Awareness Month and Zumba is getting involved in the fight. Zumba has partnered with My Gym, a leading children's fitness center to help bring awareness to the issue and launch a North American Movement.

Set for September 10, 2016, for the first time ever, across all 125 locations - at the exact same time, thousands of kids and families will dance together in unison to the Zumba beat, while spreading the message that exercise can be fun and effective.

This movement will be live streamed on Facebook so that children and families from around the world can follow along and dance to have fun and stay healthy, while bringing global awareness to this ongoing issue.

The choreo video will be going live 9/1, here is the link.
