We're excited to have Friendship Bridge back in the Denver store to host another night of Zumba. We will be hosting a free, one hour, Zumba class, taught by the amazing Beth Loy. After the Zumba class there will be snacks and drinks from Convivio Cafe. Friendship Bridge will also have a chance to win for some cool Patagonia swag!
Friendship Bridge is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit social enterprise with a mission to create opportunities that empower Guatemalan women to build a better life. We do this through services including microcredit, Non-Formal Education, and access to culturally-appropriate healthcare. Clients are 100% women, primarily indigenous Maya, and live in rural communities with some of the highest poverty levels worldwide. Annually, Friendship Bridge supports nearly 34,000 women and through our programming, we are changing how clients see, respond to, and overcome the protracted issues of poverty for themselves, their families, and their communities.
Hello! I'm Beth Loy. I live in Denver, CO, and I've been leading Zumba Fitness classes since 2011. Zumba features music and dance from Latin America and around the world. I love teaching because I believe we are all connected, and the universal language of dance can bring people from different cultures, backgrounds, and abilities together. In my Zumba community, all levels are welcome, and my motto is…If we're smiling, we're doing it right!
