Margarita Dawson enjoys teaching zumba
because ‘every class feels like a party.’

A zumbathon to benefit David’s Dream and Believe Cancer Foundation will be held at Ocean Acres Community Center in Manahawkin on Sunday, April 26, from 1:30 to 3 p.m. The event, which Manahawkin resident and zumba instructor Margarita Dawson describes as a party with DJs Frank Vargas and Carlos Irizarry, is open to anyone, even if they don’t know how to dance.

“We want to give back to the community, raise awareness, promote healthy living and fitness/exercise, all while having a great time,” said Dawson, who will be leading the event with some of her students. “We are all volunteering, donating our time and resources to make this happen. The entire Zumba crew is super excited.”

Tickets cost $25 at the door. All proceeds will go to David’s Dream and Believe, which is dedicated to helping community members in need.
