In a vibrant display of solidarity, our Zumba community gathered for the second annual Pink Party to raise awareness about breast cancer. Held in both Tullinge and Odenplan, this event united women from diverse backgrounds, all brought together to support a cause that transcends boundaries of nationality, race, and age.
The Zumba Pink Party kicked off in October with a burst of pink, as participants adorned themselves in every shade to symbolize hope and the fight against breast cancer. The atmosphere was filled with positivity and determination, as everyone came together to make a meaningful impact.
In Tullinge, attendees played ice-breaker games, fostering connections while learning more about breast cancer. We formed teams to create large posters, each highlighting the importance of self-exams and encouraging others to make time for this essential health check.
In Odenplan, teams were guided by Lego Master Elizabeth Wright, who led a creative activity where participants used Lego figures to introduce themselves. This unique approach added a fun twist to our introductions and made everyone feel more connected.
This was Elizabeth Wright first time joining a Zumba party and facilitating a lego session as an ice-breaker for all the participants

A memorable highlight of the event was Théodora, a holistic fitness trainer, who challenged our endurance with an intense circuit workout. She followed up with a lighthearted quiz on breast cancer facts, blending fitness and education in a way that kept everyone engaged.
Another heartwarming moment was seeing friends and participants enjoying Zumba together, sharing smiles and energy. Our Pink Parties were also supported by incredible local small businesses, who generously sponsored prizes to raise additional funds for the cause. A heartfelt thank you to our sponsors:

Of course, the Pink Parties wouldn’t be complete without the final Zumba session! The event concluded with an energetic class led by myself alongside the passionate Pishi Dance and Luisa, who finished with a calming cool-down routine.
As a Zumba Event Organizer, I love to include passioante colleagues who bring the best of the participants

Reflecting on these Pink Parties, it’s clear that we achieved much more than just raising awareness about breast cancer; we strengthened our community, promoted the importance of physical activity, and showed support for each other. Together, we raised 5000 SEK. While we didn’t reach our goal of 50 participants doing Zumba this year, I’m incredibly proud of and grateful for every beautiful person who supported and participated in this meaningful month-long effort.
Here’s to continuing the fight together!
