Day Of Dance
Posted by terrepruitt on February 27, 2010
El Camino Hospital sponsored a Free Health Fair today (February 27, 2010). It was in one of the ballrooms at the Santa Clara Convention Center. There was various Health Screenings. I didn’t actually get any done because I just didn’t feel like waiting in the lines. Although there were plenty of people that were willing to stand in the lines in the interest of learning about their health.
There was various demonstrations and audience participation dances going on. On TWO stages. It was very interesting and very loud since they had the “main stage” and the “side stage” set up right next to each other.
I was able to do a little Zumba, which I have done before. But I didn’t have the right shoes so it made it difficult. I should have stayed to do the yoga that was on the stage right after us. But I didn’t want to keep my photographer waiting that long.
A fellow Nia teacher was invited to do a demonstration of Nia so she had asked people to join her. I am not sure how many people were there from her invitation or how many were there because they joined us, but I think it turned out to be a good crowd. I would say there was at least 30 people. So many so that they did not all fit on the little dance floor she was given.
It was a great thing. I believe that a lot of people were introduced to Nia. I am thankful to Anita for doing this for us.
My husband came along to get some pictures. He was taking pictures of me and we confirmed that our camera is not able to take good action shots in low light. Here are a few. Thank you for looking.
I hope that next year El Camino Hospital sponsor another Day of Dance and you come out to see that dancing is a great way to workout out and a very fun way to get your exercise on!

Hi Terre!
This is great! I’m only seeing the one photo of the signage about the event. Are there more that John took, and if so, how do I find them?
Day of Dance…is this a special event or did I miss something that was a national presence?
Thanks as always for your blog!

This is the only one that came out.
This was a FREE Health Fair sponsered by El Camino Hospital. They called it Day of Dance because it was about promoting dance as exercise. El Camino is a local hospital, I am not sure if they have other hospitals about, but the event was just a local health fair.
I am not even really clear how Anita got involved because she works at Kaiser, I think. So I am not sure how she got involved with an event El Camino Hospital sponsored. But she got Nia in there and that was great.
