My child has a learning or physical disability, are your classes suitable for them?
Absolutely! We offer two types of children's classes: Zumbini for children aged 0-4 years to enjoy with their caregiver, and Zumba Kids for children aged 4-11 years (often divided into two groups: 4-6 years and 7-11 years). While these age limits are provided as a guideline, we are flexible and willing to accommodate your child in a different age group if you feel it would be beneficial. Our classes are inclusive and open to all children, regardless of their abilities. We celebrate individuality, ensuring that every child can fully embrace and experience the music in their own unique way, whether they have different abilities, use a wheelchair, experience hearing difficulties, or have other challenges.
If you believe your child would benefit from private classes, please reach out to us, and we can arrange a consultation to discuss your specific needs and preferences.
Do you do parties? If so, do you only cater for children?

I’m recovering from an injury; do you offer any services for me?
We frequently receive inquiries about exercising after previous injuries, and we completely understand the importance of your health and safety. If you have experienced a previous injury, it is crucial to consult with a healthcare professional such as your GP or a physiotherapist for medical advice and guidance. They will assess your condition, provide appropriate treatment if needed, and determine when it is safe for you to resume exercise.
Once you have received medical clearance to exercise, we are more than happy to support you in regaining strength, mobility, fitness, and confidence. Our classes and personal training sessions can be tailored and modified to accommodate your specific needs and limitations. Prior to participating, please inform us about your injury so that we can offer you the best advice and provide appropriate modifications.
For more intensive and specialized recovery training, personal training is highly recommended. Our qualified trainers will work closely with you to develop a program that focuses on your specific recovery goals, ensuring a safe and effective fitness journey.
How does Zumbini differ from other parent and baby groups?
Zumbini has a profound impact on early childhood development and caregiver education in several ways. In our Zumbini classes, we not only focus on the child's development but also equip caregivers with valuable skills that they can apply in their everyday lives to support ongoing learning and development outside of the class setting.
Using the power of movement and music, Zumbini facilitates emotional, social, cognitive, and motor skill development in children—an essential aspect, especially during the early years. Caregivers have the option to purchase the exclusive Zumbini music, allowing them to continue the musical experience beyond class and incorporate improvisation techniques we teach to create their own songs for everyday life situations.
Did you know that an astounding 90% of brain development occurs within the first 5 years of life? It's truly remarkable! At Zumbini, we nourish this critical brain development through the combination of music and movement. Scientifically proven to enhance the coordination between the body and the brain, music activates all regions of the brain, promoting harmonious functioning. The positive effects of music on cognitive development are well-documented. However, we encourage you to conduct your own research to delve deeper into the fascinating world of brain development.
Zumbini is truly a no-brainer when it comes to providing a stimulating and enriching experience for young children. So, pardon the pun, but the evidence speaks for itself!
What’s different about Zumba Kids compared to traditional dance class?
While we acknowledge the exceptional skills and discipline required for dance forms like Ballet, Tap, Jazz, and Contemporary, we also understand that children sometimes crave the freedom to move in a way that truly represents their individuality. At Zumba Kids, our focus is not on teaching a specific dance discipline but rather on fostering self-expression, promoting free movement, and developing essential social skills.
In our classes, children cultivate a healthy relationship with music and movement, discovering that it's perfectly fine to express themselves uniquely, even when dancing to the same routine. We embrace the idea that diversity is beautiful and encourage children to celebrate their individual styles and interpretations.
Moreover, cultural awareness is a key component of our Zumba Kids program. We believe that understanding the origins of music and the cultures surrounding it is a valuable skill. Through our classes, children learn about the diverse world of music, exploring its origins and the rich cultural contexts that shape it.
At Zumba Kids, our aim is to provide an inclusive and empowering environment where children can explore their own movement, develop social skills, and gain a deeper appreciation for music and cultural diversity.
