National Dance Day In Burnett Park

July 29,2013

Inspired by an idea first seen on the TV show So You Think You Can Dance, on Saturday, July 27, 2013 Amon G. Carter, Jr. Downtown YMCA held a very special event in honor of National Dance Day. For the second year in a row, the Downtown YMCA offered a free Zumba dance class, led by several YMCA of Metropolitan Fort Worth instructors. Last year's event took place at the Stockyards, attracting a flash mob of approximately 150 people. This time, the event was held in Burnett park where several dozen people gathered to enjoy an hour-long, open to the public Zumba class. The purpose of the event was to promoting health and fitness among Fort Worth residents, encourage everyone to embrace dance as a fun and positive way to maintain good health and combat obesity.
