Question 1

What kind of class is this, exactly?

Accepted Answer

My classes are part of the official Zumba family: dance-fitness classes combining Latin, Afro-beat, Dancehall, Soca, Pop, Bhangra and more. You’ll experience heavy beats, high energy, big smiles and lots of good vibes. As I say on my site: “My goal is to provide a safe space for everyone to let go, celebrate what our bodies can do and share the joy of music and movement."

Question 2

Who can come to your classes? What level of fitness do I need?

Accepted Answer

Anyone 18+ is welcome (13+ with an accompanying adult-participant) is welcome regardless of fitness level or dance experience. Whether you’ve never danced before or you’ve been grooving for years, you’ll fit in. The moves can be modified, and the vibe is inclusive, judgement-free. I aim for a community feel—everyone supporting everyone.
Because dance-fitness has strong mental-health benefits too, it’s a great place to show up even on days you’re not feeling 100%. Research shows that dance-based classes improve vitality, mental health and social functioning.

Question 3

What are the mental health or wellbeing benefits of your Zumba classes?

Accepted Answer

The combination of music + movement triggers endorphins and mood-boosting brain chemicals (“feel-good hormones”). (Read about this here)
The group class setting builds connection, community and social support—which is great for reducing stress, anxiety or feeling isolated. PMC
Learning and moving to new rhythms and beats engages your brain (cognition, coordination) as well as your body. This kind of dance has been shown to benefit psychological and cognitive health. The University of Sydney+1
Showing up regularly gives you a “you-time” break, a chance to let go, focus on fun and movement, and leave worries behind.  So yes—more than “just a workout”, our class is a mood-lift, a community moment and a release.

Question 4

Do I need to book ahead? What if I’ve never been?

Question 5

What should I wear/bring?

Accepted Answer

Wear comfortable workout/dance gear that lets you move freely. Bring a water bottle, maybe a sweat towel if you like, and trainers (with a bit of slide are good). Most importantly: bring your energy, your smile and your willingness to move. The rest will follow.

Question 6

How intense is the class? Will I struggle if I’m out of shape?

Accepted Answer

The class is lively and energetic—it’s dance fitness with big beats. But because I focus on inclusivity, you’ll always have modifications and be encouraged to go at your own pace. Remember: this is about movement, fun and community first.
Studies show Zumba classes improve quality of life and mental health in adults, even when they’re new to fitness. PMC So yes, you’ll get a workout—but you won’t feel left behind.

Question 7

What kinds of music and styles will we dance to?

Accepted Answer

Expect an array of genres from around the globe. From Cuban Salsa to Dancehall, Soca, Pop, Flamenco, Reggaetón, Afro-beat, Bachata, Bhangra and more. With Zumba, the world is our oyster! :)

Question 8

I’m worried about belonging / being accepted. Is your class really inclusive?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Inclusion is at the heart of what I do. Whether you identify as queer, are new to dance, have a disability, have social anxiety, or just want a space where you can be yourself - this is for you! I’ve built a community where everyone is welcomed, supported and celebrated. THIS IS YOUR SAFE SPACE!

Question 9

What if I have a medical condition or injury?

Accepted Answer

If you have a medical condition or recent injury, it’s always wise to check with your doctor or health professional first. Zumba is generally safe for most people but modifications may be needed. The setting at Zumba is group-fitness, and modifications help make movement accessible. The Nutrition Source On the day, if you feel unsure, tell me as your instructor and I’ll guide you safely.

Question 11

I’m shy / I’ve never been to a class like this before. Will I fit in?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Totally. Everyone feels a little unsure the first time. But once the music starts, the energy kicks in and people smile, move and welcome you in. My aim is that you leave feeling uplifted, connected and ready to come back.
