Zumba with Gloria & Friends is a lively group of friends who first connected—mostly through the gym—and quickly discovered a shared love for dance, laughter, and community. Ranging in age from their 20s to their 60s, they come together 3–4 times a week to move, groove, and inspire one another. Beyond the dance floor, they share classes, attend events, and host monthly potlucks and parties that keep their bonds strong and their spirits high. 

This year marks their very first appearance at the South Sacramento Multicultural Festival, and they are thrilled to bring their energy, joy, and passion for Zumba to the community stage.
