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!

Each Sunday, new and familiar people gather to hear a featured presenter and special music, with coffee and treats afterward.

Ten years of work, one massive milestone. The Farm Collaborative is officially opening the doors to our new Regenerative Agriculture Learning Center—and it’s time to celebrate. This space was built to be a hub for education, local roots, and regenerative farming—and on June 14th, we're celebrating the community and the land that made it possible.

We’re also marking the official launch of the Farm Co Market—a new neighborhood resource for thoughtfully sourced produce and local goods. Stop in during our new regular hours: Wednesday–Saturday, 11 AM – 6 PM.

Come grab some local food, provided by the farmer and the chef, at our the new grounds, cuddle some goats and catch live music from Stage Coach Rush.

RSVP is required: https://secure.qgiv.com/for/thefarmcollaborativegrandopeningjune14/event/grandopening2026/

Prepare yourselves for a family-friendly dance party featuring remixes inspired by familiar soundtracks, K-Pop songs, remixes, and iconic pop anthems from the movies. Costumes, dancing, and shining bright are encouraged! Brought to you by @thekawaiirave and VNK Entertainment.
