Body Festival cancelled due to earthquake damage

The Body Festival board and director last night made the decision to cancel this year's Body Festival, which was to have opened on 24 September, due primarily to concerns over the safety of public and artists following the earthquake in Christchurch on Saturday.

The cancellation covers the entire workshop and performance programme. Body Festival staff, board and performers are now looking ahead to a bigger and better event in 2011.

Closing Event: Join the biggest ZUMBA® dance party in New Zealand!

To end the Festival on a high note, the Body Festival invites you to burn the dance floor with sexy Latin moves to the pulsing rhythms of Salsa, Merengue, Samba, Cumbia, Reggaeton and more! Not a workout, not a dance class... but a party!

Join ZUMBA® specialist Maria Stone, and experience an exhilarating session of heart racing and energizing music and simple dance moves that will captivate and engage you for life. Wear comfortable gym clothes, bring a bottle of water and a sweat towel. Learn more about ZUMBA® at www.ZUMBA.com.
