Carla Kenworthy,
55, is a Latina American, Zumba Queen and animal lover. Zumba is the latest
dance craze sweeping the nation among all ages, including 50+. It appeals to
older adults because the emphasis is on having fun and you don't have to know
how to dance. Of course, you get a good, sweaty, calorie-burning, energizing

corporate career to become a stay at home mom. Looking back, she has no regrets
and gets deep satisfaction from helping others to stay fit and active through
dancing. Read More
