Not often do we have fun exercising; with Zumba you won’t even feel like you’ve been burning off all those excess calories. Following popular demand after their extremely successful venture last year, Dessange brings back the Zumbathon. Join them at Amwaj Marina on February 22 from 9am for a training session like never before. Not only will you be shedding some weight; you’ll be doing your part for the fight against cancer in children. The fitness centre has collaborated with Bahrain Cancer Society. So you’ll be exercising for a cause. ‘Zumba for Charity’ features 12 hours of backto-back classes. You can pre-register for an hour’s session for BD5. Those who walk in on the day of the event are invited to join in on the extravaganza at BD10 per set. Make it a family affair; let your kids join in on the fun. The pre-registration fee for an hour is BD2.500. Each session costs BD5 per child on the day. There will be a lot more for the little ones to do, from face painting and a bouncing castle to exciting rides. Dessange has also arranged for merchandise like themed t-shirts and training gear, aside from refreshments and raffle tickets. Spectators will be charged BD5 for entry; children can walk in for free. All proceeds go in as a donation to the children’s ward of the society; so come along and support the cause. It is advisable to purchase your tickets prior to the event. They can be collected from the reception at Dessange in Adliya. Call 17 713-999.
