Groove to the beat of yesteryear while breaking a sweat, New Braunfels. The "Bring Back the 80's Zumbathon" is here to return the city to the age of neon workout gear and thumping dance beats. Hosted at Das Rec, the city's sprawling fitness center, the event invites attendees to don their best retro attire and dance for a cause. Das Rec is celebrating the 80's in style while raising funds for a good cause.

This aerobic dance extravaganza promises to be more than just a nostalgia trip—every step aids the Das Rec Scholarship Fund, an initiative that ensures all members of the community can access the center’s facilities and programs regardless of their financial situation, with the Zumba instructors turning back the clock, participants are going to sweat it out to the decade's iconic hits, bringing back the 80's esteem and vibe from the storied past with every move.

It's a chance to relive the pop-culture sensation of the era that gave us bold fashion statements and memorable dance moves. The event has called upon locals to raid their closets for forgotten neon spandex, oversized tees, and those ever-iconic leg warmers in preparation for a workout that's more party than punishment. "Break out the neon colors, leg warmers and big hair and get ready to take it back to the 80's!," the promoters say in a rallying cry for fun and fitness.

Sweetening the deal, every hip shake and high kick at the Zumbathon will support residents. The Das Rec Scholarship Fund helps everyone get their fitness on, aiming to reduce economic barriers to health and wellness, fostering an inclusive community that sweats together, reflects the ethos of bringing communities together; and in addition to revving up heart rates, the Zumbathon's proceeds ensure that this communal bond remains strong. "All proceeds benefit the Das Rec Scholarship Fund," the fitness center's website proudly announces.
