Quote “Overweight and obesity are among the most urgent
health challenges facing our country today. Excess weight contributes to many of the leading causes of death in the United States, including heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and some types of cancer”4 - CDC's Winnable Battles, 2011
"When done vigorously, dancing is up there with jogging and cross country skiing for aerobic benefit. All the styles, ballroom, salsa, funk, hip-hop, can burn up to 300 calories an hour if you're really moving just like in an aerobic class.”5 - Meg Jordan, PhD, RN (Aerobics and Fitness Association of America)
” People born and raised in a Latin American culture acquire dance in a passive learning process; through constant immersion.”10
- Tina Ramirez Founder of New York's Ballet Hispanico
