We had so much fun at our Christmas party in December and made good use of the photo booth!  Our 80s theme certainly was colourful!

January 2016 I'll be celebrating 6 years of teaching Zumba.  I still love every minute :-)

We've already seen some new faces in our firs...

Well it's that time of year again when pretty much all of us make resolutions with the best intentions of sticking to them.

And of course one of the most popular resolutions must be to get in shape, especially after the Christmas blow out and possibly being a kilo or 2...

Congratulations to the wonderful Deb (www.zumbawa.com.au) for organising the 3rd annual Party in Pink fundraiser at the Blue Gum Rec Centre this month.

There were around 120 people at the event who partied hard and the result was that over $5000 was raised...

I feel like I've been inundated recently with stories of people who say they 'should' come to Zumba and never quote get there.  If only I had a dollar for every excuse I'd ever heard!

Statements like "I really should come to Zumba" really sadden me.  Feeling like you *...

I get asked a lot by people trying Zumba for the first time if there's a 'beginners' class - the answer is no!  My usual response is that we learn Zumba the same way that most of us learned the Macarena - jump in with your mates and follow along!

One of the reasons I find Zumba so appealing (and what I encourage strongly in my classes) is that there are no judgements, comparisons or...

I just couldn't resist sharing this with you - my very first ballroom exam in nineteen seventy something!  The socks are a great addition, don't you think?! If I remember correctly this was for Old Time dance which, particilarly if you're Australian, you may not have h...

The management of the Leslie St Centre where we hold our Monday classes have been kind enough to put our classes on the board, albeit until something new comes along!  Not sure how we compete with bingo on Tuesdays though...

I'm sure our friends at the Zumba head office would be open to suggestions about new audiences for Zumba but this may be going a bit TOO far!  Our lovely Jayne had the pleasure of her 2 puppies' company while she was (trying to) rehearse last night so she figured they...

Saturday 15th Feb saw a visit from Zumba Jammer Tamara Pitts.  We did 2 WHOLE HOURS of Zumba and what a blast!  Tamara had some great choreo that I'm going to steal and you'll be getting a taste of it in the weeks to come.  If you havne't been to a masterclass yet, I t...
