As Hawaii residents pour out their hearts and pocketbooks for Japan, a Kaneohe Zumba instructor has taken it one step, jump and lunge further.

Kehaulani Volhein, who teaches Zumba Fitness in Ahuimanu Valley and at Heeia State Park, is organizing a Zumbathon benefit from 1 to 3 p.m. April 23 in Kamehameha Schools’ Kekuhaupi’o Gym, featuring a dozen instructors from around the island. Admission is $10 in advance or $15 at the door. Proceeds from “Zumba Love for Japan” will go to the American Red Cross for that devastated nation.

Volhein’s Zumba Fitness classes meet at 9 a.m. Tuesdays at Windward Family Wellness Center (in Koolau Center) and 4 p.m. Thursdays and 6 p.m Fridays at the state park. For details on classes, visit zumbawithkehau.com.
