Dancing is one of the easiest and most fun ways to get fit! We'll dance to pop hits, old skool favorites, Motown, and even do some line dances. You can suggest your favorite song or dance at the suggestion box near the main office, and we will do our best to put it on the playlist.
Please note that no food will be served and only water will be allowed in the gym. We still need volunteers to make the night a success, so please sign up here if you can help out with set up or clean up. We hope to see you there!

Read-A-Thon Lead: It's time to pass the baton! Read-a-thon is looking for replacement chairs (or co-chairs) to take over the Read-a-thon next year. As part of the transition, we're hoping to find replacements that could shadow this year's coordinators.
Fun Run Lead(s): The Fun Run Committee is looking for a new Chair or Co-Chairs for the 2019/2020 year. This is one of the most rewarding volunteer opportunities we have at Miraloma as this is such a memorable event for a our whole community.
