Zumbathon for Domestic Violence Victims

8317_1128613268176_1612532690_420667_5383631_sThe Three Amigas are Marie Clay, Mercedes Henriquez, and Yvette Williams. These ladies are certified fitness instructors and personal trainers who strive to empower others through fitness. Call it a ministry of sorts, each “Amiga” has their own fitness testimony. Marie is a certified personal fitness trainer, certified in Zumba instruction, cardio kick boxing and hatha yoga. Mercedes is a certified group aerobics leader as well as Zumba certified. Yvette is Zumba certified and is also a certified personal fitness trainer and sport nutritionist. The trio loves Latin dance and incorporates it in as many of their fitness routines as possible.

On Sat, Nov 21st the Three Amigas will host the first Zumba-thon for domestic violence
at the Residence in Praise Performing Arts Studio at 7 Stuckhardt Road in Trotwood.
The women point out that this is not a “female only” event. Men are welcome, as this issue affects everyone.
DJ Danny D. from Miami Beach Florida will be the live DJ for the event. He is the Latin DJ at Therapy Cafe for Salsa Saturdays. He will use his mix-ology to give this event a special energy that only he can bring.

The cost for the event is $15. All proceeds will benefit the Dayton chapter of “Cut It Out.” This organization of hairdressers assists victims of domestic violence. They service the Dayton YWCA as well as The Artemis House.

If you simply wish to donate, please visit www.yvettewilliams.com, go to STORE, and donate any amount under either CD. In a subject line please type “zumba donation.”
