Zumba Gold has a ' Zumba Chair' version, in which the entire class is done while seated. This is ideal for those who find difficulty in standing for extended periods of time, those with limited mobility and those who require wheelchair assistance. The class will be instructed just like a Zumba class with a follow the leader method. The class will be lead with a very high energy instructor who will motivate the students to yell, sing, and push themselves as much as they could and we will pretend we are at a dance party. The students will be dancing and moving to music from all around the world. Music genres include: Salsa, reggaeton, pop, belly dance, African, Kuduro, and much more! Between each song, the teacher will be asking the students how they are doing and they will interact by showing the teacher certain body parts she asks for such as making silly faces, showing me their ears, nose, mouth, etc. The class is actually really silly so that the students could enjoy it. The students will not need prior experience, yet this class will be a regular for them if they enjoy it.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I have been working for the East Central Alabama United Cerebral Palsy Center for over 6 years. I am invited back occasionally to host special Zumba sessions with the students there. Zumba Gold has been a popular dance fitness class for students with Cerebral Palsy and others who are not mobile. I have been involved in being part of the UCP telethon where my Zumba Gold students danced with me on TV to their favorite songs. Reviews
