Dancing for better health

Rachel Burke from the Enjoy Dance and Drum team leads fifth graders from Hacker Middle School through a traditional dance from West Africa during the school's first-ever Extreme Challenge event Friday afternoon.

Hosted by the Center for Community Health from Elmore Medical Center, the dance culminated a day of presentations aimed at helping children make smart lifestyle choices on topics like exercise, nutrition, sun safety, teamwork, self-esteem, tobacco use and aging. Photo by Brian S. Orban
