“In our observation, a lot of women are actively into zumba in the different barangays. This is why we came up with the idea of staging this competition so that these women can showcase their talents. They are very excited considering the huge cash prices the city government allocated for this event,” Guardo said during the launching of the event yesterday.

CCSC is allocationg P100,000 in cash prizes for the event.

“We are expecting many clubs will join this event because the zumba community in Cebu City is growing bigger,” said Lovena Guardo, who is one of the prime movers of this event.

Each women-only group must have a minimum of 15 members or a maximum of 25. No professional or zumba instructors allowed.

According to Lovena, four groups have signed up for the event, which will have a limit of 16 teams.
