A note from Sharon

I read in the Cairns newspaper that a 'Zumba' class was starting up
I thought it sounded interesting and fun because it incorporates Latin dance moves

And it is only $30.00 for five classes ... for that price, it sounded well worth giving it a try

I went to the class tonight which was registration and an introduction
There were about seventy people there
All different shapes, sizes and ages!!
There was one man too ... looked about sixty but he was getting into it!!
There were about another thirty or so outside waiting for the next class!!

It was great fun
I am a little bit uncoordinated ... but I wasn't the only one

Classes start next week ... and I can't wait!!

Class Format

What ever your age or fitness level, you are welcome to join our fun and friendly classes

All exercises are performed solo and standing up

The workout begins by stretching and warming up to tribal rhythms
The program continues with a mixture of fast and moderate tempos which incorporate Salsa, Reggeaton, Bachata, Merengue, Samba, Cha-Cha, Rumba, Bollywood and Aboriginal footwork and body movements
Participants pump their legs, windmill their arms, gyrate their hips, clap their hands, turn, slide and shimmy there way through the motivating rhythms

Our professional Latin dance instructors have designed unique moves and combinations which make this fitness program easy for non-dancers to pick up

It doesn't matter what you or any one else looks like or whether you mess up the steps
The dance and music are so distracting you’ll soon forget you're in an aerobic workout

We think you'll enjoy our dance fitness program so much you'll be hanging out for the next session

So grab some friends, arrange a date and come and escape in to the Latin Rhythms which promise to boost your physical and emotional health

I suppose it is a bit too much to hope for
to have it look like the group opposite !!
