Shaking it for education

It’s always a pleasure to welcome someone new to Casa de Campo, and last Saturday February 15th, it was the turn of Claudine Naninni in the resort as the special guest instructor for the Hogar del Niño Zumbathon. A Zumba instructor from Miami, Claudine burst onto the stage at the La Romana Country Club with such energy and enthusiasm that every single one of the nearly 100 participants seized the moment, strutting their stuff along to the contagious music without a care in the world. It was Zumba as Zumba is meant to be done – carefree and fun! On stage with Claudine were our favorite Zumba girls – the Casa de Campo Zteam – Daniela Diazgranados, Lia Matos, Gaby Grisolia and Fefi Diazgranados. The Zumbathon formed an energetic part of the 17th annual Hogar del Niño fundraising weekend, and all funds raised are 100% destined to the Hogar del Niño and their many programs, which help more than 1500 children of the greater La Romana area get not only a great education but also health care, and much more. The following collection to photos were taken at the Zumbathon for the Hogar del Niño at the La Romana Country Club, Casa de Campo:
