"Team Mom" Sherry Langston said that 285 participants and 40 instructors came out for a two-hour Zumba class at Crossroads Mall. Zumba is a Latin-style dance workout.

The event, with a $10 admission fee, was to help raise the estimated $11,000 it will take for the 22 girls and boys on the team to go to a National Cheerleaders Association event Feb. 25-27.

The Shining Starz, with members ranging in age from 6 to 24, train with Oklahoma Twisters All Star Cheerleading at Shock! Sports gym in Norman.

For more information on the team's trip, e-mail davyjo@sbcglobal.net.

There are two more upcoming fundraisers for the team. They are:

• Flapjack fundraiser, 8 to 10 a.m. Jan. 29 at Applebee's, 2401 S Interstate Frontage Road in Moore. Tickets are $6 at the door. Older members of Shining Starz will help serve the food.

• Zumba marathon, 4 to 6 p.m. Jan. 29 at Crossroads Mall in the old Steve & Barry's space. Cost is $10 in advance or $15 at the door. For more information, go to http://okczumba.net.
