ABOUT U•DANCE
For FREEDOM
U•DANCE for Freedom started at the onset of Covid-19. Just months before the global lockdown on freedom, U•DANCE gave hundreds of women a chance to come together and dance their hearts out on behalf of those both suffering surviving the plight of human trafficking. We raised funds for a Dallas NonProfit, Rescue Her, as our first foray into the fight together, have since hosted a 2nd successful Dallas-based event, are hosting our third in Spring of 2027 and are bringing our missional dance movement to Colorado Springs...truly, the best is yet to come!
WE ARE PROUD TO BE PARTNERED WITH THE FOLLOWING FREEDOM FIGHTERS. >>

JACKIE RODRIGUEZ
Jackie Rodriguez became a certified Zumba instructor 5 years ago. She was determined to become a Zumba instructor after experiencing its energy as a student and the amazing feeling her instructors passed on to her during each and every class. She naturally wanted to provide the same for others while teaching and showing to her students it's ok to simply let loose and have fun while enjoying an amazing workout at the same time. Her advice, to anyone who is interested in taking a class, but is too afraid to join..."Just take the class". It's ok if you don't know the steps - just keep showing up and you will see how much you improve.
