Dancing is definitely fun, but it also an excellent way to stay in shape.

The event was sponsored by Wegmans and MVP Health and it is designed to give people access to information about exercise programs involving dance, like the popular Zumba.

The event was open to people of all ethnic backgrounds, but organizers encouraged the Latino community to come out. 

Diana Hernandez, organizer, said, “As you know the Latino population is growing and one of the biggest issues is the heath issues with diabetes and heart disease etc. and we're trying to tackle that." 

Hernandez says the turnout was better than expected and they hope to make it an annual event.
