For all those dance, fitness, and of course Zumba enthusiasts out there, JBLM's Cowan Stadium (Liggett Avenue and 12th Street, Lewis Main) is the place to be, Aug. 1. JBLM is hosting the Spark Before Dark Event, three hours of Zumba fun.

The venue opens at 5 p.m. and dancing kicks off at 7 p.m.. Dancing will last until 10 p.m. Have you always been curious about what all the big fuss about Zumba is? This is the perfect way for you to check it out and make an evening of it. If you've never done Zumba before, don't let that discourage you. You don't need dance experience to enjoy Zumba, and instructors are trained to break down the dances for you. The most important part of Zumba is to just keep moving and to have fun. And, as a Zumba enthusiast myself, it is an incredible workout.

This event is open to ages 13 and up, but under 16 needs to be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Spark Before Dark is only $15, provided you sign up by July 31. The price goes up to $20 the day of the event.
