Coral Springs to host Caribbean dance class at city hall lawn honoring Vice Mayor Nancy Metayer through community wellness event
Coral Springs, Florida – Coral Springs is preparing to bring music, movement, and community spirit together next month with a special Caribbean dance class set to take place at City Hall Lawn. The event is being organized as a tribute to the late Vice Mayor Nancy Metayer, city officials announced on Tuesday, marking a moment that blends celebration, remembrance, and public wellness.
The class will be held on Wednesday, June 10, from 6 to 7 p.m. at the City Hall Lawn, located at 9500 West Sample Road. It will serve as a special edition of the city’s ongoing Coral Springs Let’s Move initiative, a program designed to encourage residents to stay active while also strengthening community ties.
For this event, In De Fete Fitness will lead the session, guiding participants through Caribbean-inspired dance movements. The class will highlight music and dance traditions that reflect Vice Mayor Metayer’s cultural heritage, turning the evening into both a fitness activity and a tribute to her legacy in the community.
City officials said the Let’s Move! series has become an important part of Coral Springs life, offering free wellness-focused activities for residents of all ages. The program aims to create opportunities for neighbors to connect in a relaxed environment while supporting healthier lifestyles across the city.
According to a city press release, the series also gives residents a chance to interact directly with the Mayor and City Commission, adding a civic element to the wellness events. That blend of fitness and community engagement has helped the program grow steadily in popularity.
The upcoming Caribbean dance class continues that approach but carries added meaning due to its dedication to Vice Mayor Metayer. Her influence and connection to the community are being honored through movement, music, and shared participation, reflecting the values she supported during her time in office.
Participation in the event is open to the public, but registration is required. The city encourages attendees to prepare for an active session by bringing a water bottle and wearing comfortable clothing along with sneakers suitable for dancing. Although the event is free, organizers stress that early registration is recommended due to limited space and expected interest.
Registration details and additional information can be found at CoralSprings.gov/move.
As Coral Springs continues to expand its wellness programming, this upcoming event stands out as both a cultural celebration and a moment of remembrance. What might begin as a simple evening dance class is also expected to serve as a shared community tribute, bringing residents together under music, movement, and memory in the heart of the city.
