 What type of music is played?

Zumba combines uplifting Latin rhythms & International music to create an exciting & effective fitness program. We start with a 10 minute warm up usually to pop music then we do some fast dances followed by slower dances so you can recover and be ready to up the tempo again. We finish with a 5 minute cooldown and stretching.

Who can do Zumba?

Zumba is designed for everyone! Its for people of any age, fitness level, shape or size. Emphasis is on fun & when the class ends you realise how hard you have actually worked! We have participants from age 10 - 80 in our classes and we often have mothers and daughters dancing together!

What can I expect when I come to Zumba?

The instructor will lead the class in easy, simple movements that are combinations of dance and fitness. The students just follow along; usually visual or verbal cues are given so that the class can listen to the music and immerse into the feel of the music.

What if I'm not co-ordinated and I can't dance and have 2 left feet?

Zumba uses a lot of repetition of steps from class to class. Be patient and try it out a few times. After a few classes you will know the basic steps to salsa, merengue, cha-cha, cumbia and all the rest. Most of all just have fun!

Yes! Everyone puts their own intensity into the class and does as much or as little as they want to. Zumba can be done at different levels, low impact or high impact, small or big moves. All the steps and dances can be adapted .Many people start out at lower fitness levels either from injury or lack of exercise. They do whatever they can do during the class and then gradually add more. Zumba is not divided by levels of difficulty.
