FACC sponsors summer picnic at Park Road

After the recent Spring Picnic, the Filipino-American Community of the Carolinas will sponsor yet another picnic on June 10. 

This time, a Zumba party would precede the 11 am picnic, the spring picnic committeee said. 

The Zumba party would start at 9 am with Elizabeth Bacalzo Onia as instructor who would be joined by other instructors. She started dancing at an early age and would like to share her passion for dance to others. 

Onia said her passion for dance started at five years of age. She started with ballet and tap dance and never looked back.  Onia was in the Orchesis dance group for two years. 

In college she took modern dance as an elective. This good looking lady has been lucky to keep dance as a part of her life. At the June 10 picnic at Park Road, Onia will share what she knows to the attendees. 

“Zumba is a fun way to stay fit for anyone that likes to dance,” she said. 

Over the years, Onia said her students told her how fun zumba is. She said the key piece to making zumba fun is the music.

At present she teaches Zumba Gold at the West Cabarrus YMCA and cardio dance at Harrisburg YMCA.

Onia or Liz as she is called by friends and acquaintances went to the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, where she received a degree in Industrial Design. 

Aside from being the busy wife to FACC 1st Vice president Cip Onia, Liz is into running, gardening, music and art. 

Any donation for the benefit of the FACC 2017 projects would be accepted. Those wishing to attend are advised to pre-register and contact any FACC board of directors 2017 for details.
  
The FACC Summer Picnic would be held at the Park Road 6220, Charlotte, North Carolina 28210.
