Never stop moving.

If youre going to do Zumba right, you cant stop moving. Keeping your feet, arms or other parts moving is part of the workout regimen that is Zumba.

The trend isnt new and may not be for everyone, but there were still plenty of people at the Zumba Party Hearty event at the Gainesville Civic Center Saturday morning.

Quinterra Wright, who lives in Alpharetta but works in Gainesville, is used to the exercises style and has been to many Zumba classes.

She also had a special reason for coming to this particular class. The event was co-hosted by Gainesville Parks and Recreation and the American Heart Association, an organization important to Wright.

My dad died from heart disease, so I try and support everything the American Heart Association does, Wright said.

The organizations split the profits from the event, according to Zandrea Stephens, assistant division manager for Gainesville Parks. For a $6 suggested donation at the door, about 30 people showed up to dance away their mornings with the instructors from Frances Meadows Aquatic Center.

The center holds Zumba classes Monday through Thursday at various times. A list of times can be found at http://www.gainesville.org/fitness-classes.

Tarnisha Reid, Kashuna Storey and Lakeisha Cofer came together to try it out for the first time.

It was interesting. Definitely interesting, Reid said. I liked it though, I had fun.

Cheryl Brown was one of the days instructors and led several songs throughout the two-hour event. Shes been teaching Zumba since 2009.

Brown said the idea is to incorporate exercise into a party environment. There are all types of dance types, from Latin to hip-hop and more, depending on the song.

Getting them to move is the idea and stick to it, thats the idea, she said. Its all about health.

Sisters Maggie and Erin Shay knew what they were getting into. Maggie said they had been to Zumba classes together and wanted to come after hearing about it through the Parks and Recreations email newsletter.

I just like the energy, Erin said. It doesnt really matter if you dont know the moves.
