So after getting into Zumba fitness you’ll not only feel and look great but you’ll also be more confident on the dance floor!

What are the benefits of Zumba?

Zumba helps build cardio strength, muscle tone and improve fitness levels. If you are trying to loose weight you can burn hundreds of calories a class if you exert yourself but weight-loss also depends on how hard you work and how frequently you attend, so commitment is necessary if you want to see results!

1 hour, make sure you arrive 15 mins early, so you have time to pay, stretch and warm up. It is important to make time to warm up and cool down before and after classes to prevent injury.

What should I wear?

Wear loose fitting, light, comfortable clothing that gives you freedom of movement. Sportswear isn’t essential and neither are classical dance shoes, however supportive footwear is a must, so avoid plimsolls, ballet pumps or dance shoes with heels. Stick to trainers or shoes that fasten securely and have plenty of cushion in the soles. Dance trainers are ideal if you want to splash out (try Bloch or Capezio). We also recommend you bring a towel and bottle of water to class to keep yourself fresh and hydrated.
