GALLERY: BHS Gym Classes Go Zumba

Bridgeport High School’s Physical Education program switched it up this week. Rather than running laps, doing calisthenics, playing basketball or volleyball, students have been engaging in a little Zumba - complete with Latin music and smooth dance moves.
Monday and Tuesday, morning coed classes under the direction of Robert Shields and Michelle Robey have been in full Zumba mode. Providing the instructional fun and fitness to high-energy holiday tunes is local Zumba instructor, Cynthia Campbell. With classes at Strength, Balance & Yoga in Clarksburg, Campbell has also taught at the Maple Lake Clubhouse and Bridgeport Pool.
Not only have students experienced some fun variety this week, they have also received instruction meeting a state physical education requirement, Robey said.
See Campbell and the BHS first block students in merengue and salsa action at the gallery below.
