Meet my Zumba Gold® inspiration -Joy

Zumba Gold® classes are full of different characters, with all types of backgrounds and experiences. They are one of my favourite classes to teach and I am thoroughly missing the connection with these gorgeous ladies.

I would like you to meet a truly amazing lady.

Her name is Joy and she has been coming to my Zumba Gold® classes since I started them, 8 years ago.

Joy features in most of my posters, social media adverts and promotional videos. She also joins in many local dancing events, like the Adur Sea of Lights, charity and community displays. She is an absolute inspiration, a loyal, committed dancer and has a cracking sense of humour. Joy is basically the face of SK Dance and if I was half as passionate as her, by the time I had reached her age, I would be so proud.

I had the pleasure of getting to know her better, a few weeks ago, This was just before the lock-down, so hopefully it wont be long before she is back in the classes front row!
