Window Decorating Contest and Zumba!

Monday April 19th saw Zumba come to Whitman!

BSU pulled out all the stops in advertising for this event. Nick, Lucia, and Tish sidewalk-chalked at popular locations around campus, colorful and festive posters were made, facebook invites sent out, and the ever-popular word-of-mouth spread. We even competed in the Window Decorating Contest at the Reid Campus Center to get the word out about this.

Amazing work by Nahali and Andrew!

We even enlisted the services of well-known Zumba instructor, Elena Enriquez from the YMCA to lead the class for the ever-growing numbers.

So when Monday rolled around--or stepped around, we expected quite a crowd and were not disappointed. BSU members and students from the Step Aerobics class on campus alike both showed up for the event.

We swung our hips and worked out to Shakira, Lady Gaga and many other catchy mixes!

Tish rocks out to the music

Guys were not afraid to get into the groove, too.

Way to go, WhitMen!

All in all it was a great workout and everyone in attendance had nothing but good things to say.

Swing those hips!

Thanks for coming out everyone!

Throwing our hands in the air

And a special thanks to Elena. We can't wait to do this again next semester!
