January 14, 2010 - No matter what your fitness level or your age; you can join the rest of America to achieve better
health! The mission is simple: get America in better shape by getting everybody moving and grooving to the rhythm of live
drums and DJ house beats. Wanda and Tiacoh have created and produced a simple
line dance that’s so much fun, you'll want to share it with your friends, colleagues, and families. It's a beat that
touches the heart of the human soul; that includes all races, all cultures, all genders - from little kids to teens; from
the able-bodied to the physically challenged; from adults to seniors – everybody can do it! NCNW has joined the movement as it kicks off 75 years of service to the Black community.
Although
good health is of national importance, it is essential that we turn our attention to the health of our
nation’s capital, which has one of the country’s highest rates of obesity and related morbidity. As a result, a partnership with WandaWoman Enterprises, the National Council of Negro Women, Inc. (NCNW), celebrating 75 years of leading, developing and advocating for women of African descent, their families
and communities, and the American College of Cardiology (ACC) was established to address the issue of obesity
and to encourage families locally and nationwide to make healthier lifestyle choices through fitness. Future plans include health, fitness and nutrition workshops
and a traveling program to support and promote healthy families through NCNW’s over 180 Sections and 38 National Affiliate
Organizations – culminating with national “EveryBody Work It!” Day
at the NCNW 25th Anniversary Black Family Reunion Celebration, September 11-12, 2010.
On
Saturday, January 9, 2010, the first taping of the EveryBody Work It! Line Dance for
YouTube took place at the ACC Conference Center in Washington, DC. The
launching of the
EveryBody Work It! Line Dance will take place at the NBC4 Health & Fitness Expo 2010. WandaWoman will be on the Main Demonstration Stage with the OVER 40
FITNESS DIVAS, NCNW members, boys and girls, men and women, leading the EveryBody Work It! Line Dance at 2pm
on both Saturday, January 16th and Sunday, January 17th, 2010 at the Washington Convention Center.
Wanda Bamberg Tia “aka WandaWoman,” is a renowned dancer, choreographer and motivational speaker, voted DC’s Best Aerobic Fitness Leader. WandaWoman Enterprises, based in Washington, DC, has been inspiring the
young and old for over 25 years, to keep their bodies moving, their hearts happy, and their lifestyles healthy!
Tiacoh Sadia, multi-talented
drummer and pianist, joins his wife in many artistic endeavors while still maintaining his own creative efforts from composing
to performing. Multi-cultural audiences have enjoyed Wanda and Tiacoh's joint
performances for years! Join NCNW and ACC, along with Wanda and Tiacoh, to achieve
better health, and get America moving!
