What Does Clay & Moonlight Support?
When we say everything, we mean it! Every dollar raised — through sponsorships, the paddle raise, and beyond — goes directly back into the Clay Center: its people, its programs, and the community they serve.
Event proceeds fund the full life of the Clay Center, from clay, glazes, and kiln maintenance to artist stipends, scholarships, and all of the people who keep the wheels turning. They sustain our classes, workshops, artist residency, exhibitions, community events, and outreach programs that bring people of all ages and backgrounds into meaningful connection with clay.
Our community is at the heart of everything we do, and we rely on your generosity to remain accessible to all. Thank you for making it all possible!

Get ready for Zumba with Andrea Orrego
Zumba is a global dance phenomenon that invites the body and spirit into a state of pure, rhythmic connection. Originally inspired by the vibrant dance traditions of Latin America — Salsa, Cumbia, Merengue, and Reggaeton — Zumba has since grown into a dynamic fusion of world rhythms, blending Afrobeat, Bollywood, Bhangra, Belly Dance, Hip Hop, and more into an electrifying celebration of movement.
At its core, Zumba is about intuitive dance expression. Rather than focusing on strict choreography or technical breakdowns, the structure of a Zumba class mirrors the architecture of music itself — simple, repeatable patterns tied to the chorus, verses, and bridges of each song. This approach allows dancers to anticipate transitions naturally, freeing them from the constraints of counting steps and encouraging a deeper, more instinctive relationship with rhythm.
Zumba invites a profound reconnection to the joy of embodied movement: a space where strength meets sensuality, sweat becomes celebration, and music becomes a global language that transcends borders.For seasoned dancers, Zumba offers a refreshing invitation to return to the essence of why we dance — not for perfection, but for expression, connection, and exhilaration. It is a journey through cultures, rhythms, and emotions, all channeled through the most ancient instrument we possess: our own bodies.
All dance levels welcome!
