Keeping you dancing – virtual classes during lockdown

Wiggle your bits, shake your bobs and grope your goods as exercise? Yes please!

Because it is addictive and invigorating, with a touch of madness, all at the same time. Is it exercise, or dance? Both actually, it’s called Zumba Gold and with the freedom to teach it my own way, each participant leaves a little cheekier from each sassy, upbeat and contagious Latin-flavour-filled class

I set up my business to support people in the community. I wanted to create a fun and sociable environment for adults and children to develop skills and confidence, through dance. Everyone needs to move and particularly during this pandemic, we need to keep an active body and a healthy mind. As humans, we want to do more than just exist. We want to be motivated. We want to feel happy. We want to create achievable goals in order to grow.

It doesn’t matter how old you are, dance can play an impressionable part in your life. Some people go to classes to build up strength, fitness and stamina. Some go to learn a new skill, broaden their social circle and escape. I go because even an instructor, I have lots of fun watching everyone else have fun. There is a sense of family when we all get together. I run different types of Zumba sessions in different villages, with different types of people. But we all go with the same intentions – we leave feeling happy.

The steps are easy to follow, which means anyone can join in and no one judges you. The high intensity vs low intensity moves create an interval style workout, which means you burn lots of calories. Whether you dance Zumba original, Zumba Gold or Zumba seated with me, each class is like a party. I want to help you be more body confident and trust me, my classes are never boring!

As soon as my classes started to close, due to Covid-19 seriously approaching, I knew that was it. It was going to be a while before I saw any of my Zumba gang again. The cherry on the cake was when the government announced the school closures; that would be the end of my business for a while. Unless I acted now!

Straight away, I set up online classes and adapted quickly to the new virtual world. I wanted people to continue to be motivated, to have a sense of normality and have some sort of social interaction. I knew I definitely needed it too and as much as I love my family at home, I also need my Zumba family, now more than ever!

I currently teach classes in and around Worthing, before the pandemic anyway. However, instead of you coming to me, I now come to you. You’d be surprised the amount of people who have learnt how to use a computer so quickly, in order to keep their lives as ‘regular’ as possible.
