Zumbathon!!!

Zumbathon… “What’s that?!” I hear you say…

We were the first in South Devon to hold Zumba® classes when we opened our Aztec Studio last November! Since then it has caught on at other gyms and Zumba® is fast becoming recognised as the latest Latin dance inspired fun work-out and trust me - it’s a lot of fun!!!

So Zumbathon… I was recently asked to co- host a three hour Zumbathon in aid of the Adoption Awareness charity. The event was held at Torbay Leisure Centre and was hosted by Paul Harrison (Paignton’s legend of fitness classes!). Starting at 2pm on a hot Saturday afternoon we Zumbered through till 5pm. Paul kicked off the event by introducing costumes, props, funky dance moves and of course a splash of comedy! Zumba® instructor Alexandra (based in Totnes) then followed with some impressive belly wiggling! I was the last instructor to host and luckily managed to keep everyone going in the heat. I did some of my favourite tracks which I personally choreographed – mixing up hip hop, salsa, pop and Asian influences.

The day was a huge success and managed to raise over £1000!!! Well done and a massive thank you to all who took part and supported me! The event was such a success it is now going to be an annual event - back next year! I hope to see some new faces then!
