Hello and welcome to
www.zumbasandy.com
I am a
licensed Zumba® instructor (qualified since May 2010) and have loved
teaching Zumba from the very first minute. I teach Zumba® classes in
West Bridgford and Gotham in Nottinghamshire.
I have a
terrific mix of enthusiasts at my classes - mum’s returning to exercise after
months (and years) of absence, tri-athletes, active pensioners and hard-working
professionals and students who need to burn off steam and calories – everyone simply
wants to have fun and keep fit at the same time. You can exercise at a level
which is right for you, making it as high or low impact as you like. Each
routine has a mix of simple and more complex steps and you can choose which
ones work best for you.

What should I wear or bring
to class?
What
should I wear to a Zumba® class?
Whatever you
feel comfortable in. Your clothing should keep you cool and allow you to move
freely.
Which
shoes are best for Zumba®?
Again -
personal preference and comfort are key. The Zumba®
Fitness programme suggests that you wear "cross training" or
"aerobic" style shoes which provide cushioning and medial lateral
support needed for side-to-side movements. They also have low traction rubber
for easy sliding, turning and getting those hips moving!
Take care if
you wear running shoes as they tend to have a heavy tread on the soles designed
for forward motion only.
Should I bring anything else?
Remember to
bring a bottle of water to keep hydrated, a towel to mop your brow and your own
carefree style!
It would be really appreciated if
you could bring the correct change to pay for your class - thank you!
What is Zumba®?
Zumba®
is a calorie-burning dance fitness class. The classes (which generally last an
hour) feature interval training sessions where fast and slow rhythms, plus
resistance moves are combined to tone and sculpt your body while burning fat.
Add a bit of Latin flavour and international zest into the mix and you've got a
Zumba® class!
Music and rhythms
Music is a
key ingredient in Zumba® classes.
The music score is created with specific beats and tempo changes which
take the workout through various toning, strengthening or cardio moves and aims
to target every major muscle group in the body. The routines use a variety of
dance styles including cumbia, salsa, merengue, reggaeton, mambo, cha-cha-cha, samba, belly dancing,
hip-hop and more...
It's easy
It really is
simpler than it looks. You don't have to know how to dance. You may get the
moves more quickly if you have a natural sense of rhythm, but everyone gets
there with their own unique style!
It's fun
Some of the
best classes are where people go left instead of right and everyone has a good
laugh! Every Zumba® class I have ever participated in has been fun –
everyone smiles, laughs and enjoys themselves. You'll have such a great time, you'll forget you're exercising and burning calories!
It's great for all shapes, sizes and fitness levels
You can
exercise at a level which is right for you, making it as high or low impact as
you like. Each routine has a mix of simple and more complex steps and you can
choose which ones work best for you.
History
By the end
of 2010 the Zumba® classes were being taught at over 90,000
locations in 110 countries, with an astonishing 10 million participants taking
Zumba® classes every week! Zumba® was founded in the mid 90s by "Beto" Perez, a celebrity fitness
trainer from Cali in Colombia.
Indemnity form
All class
participants are required to complete a screening/indemnity form prior to
attending a class. Please arrive at your first class ten minutes early to allow
enough time to complete the form. Alternatively, please feel free to print out
and complete this form and bring it along to your first
class. Thank you.
