Trail Blazers time!

EBA ran classes on the homecourt of the Portland Trail Blazers on two separate occasions in 2023! Both classes saw 50 excited athletes and teammates participate in a fun and fast-paced class on the court, followed by 100 members of the EBA family cheering and dancing in the stands during the game later that night. We love our time with the Blazers!
