Bandar Seri Begawan - The ex-Youth of the SSYEAP programme 38th intake of year 2011 hosted a Zumba Instructor Appreciation Night yesterday at Raja Mahal Restaurant in order to show appreciation for the 10 certified professional Zumba instructors.

The project is held every Sunday at 9am for free for the public.

The event- began with the recitation of Surah Al-Fatihah, followed by welcoming remarks from the Assistant Chairperson, Ashraf Rannil.

The event was enlivened with a performance from Qeez Idrus, the female vocalist of "Stress ku Merace" as well as a presentation of certificates and funny awards.

The Zumba project started off by using a small dance studio last year and soon moved to a bigger hall located at Dewan Riadah, Pusat Belia.

The purpose of the Zumba project was to promote healthy living due to the high rate of obesity in Brunei Darussalam and to give opportunities for the youth to deliver a positive message to the public.
