30分間のズンバ キッズ ジュニア！

Looking for an online Zumba Kids class? Look no further...

Welcome to our HIGH-ENERGY ZUMBA KIDS CLASS!

Please read our entire class description: This class is inclusive of new and experienced dancers alike with options for modifications to simplify or advance each step. My previous classes have included trained dancers, students who are both neurotypical and neurodiverse, students with physical disabilities, and everyone in-between. This is a great class for students with extra energy before or after school, homeschool students who need a physical outlet or a Physical Education class, students working on their gross-motor skills, and students who love to dance and move! Classes will incorporate education about different cultures, basic rhythm/musicality work, body awareness, health education, and silliness! 

Each 30 minute class will include:
-A "Question of the Day"--each child will have the opportunity to answer the simple question via mic (students who are non-verbal are welcome to answer via chat, parent, or simply wave)
-A warm-up 
-An easy-to-follow dance
-A game/activity (freeze dance, Simon Says, charades, etc.)
-Cool-down
-A closing question, "What was your favorite part of today's class?"

Zumba students should have well-fitting sneakers, a water bottle, and a few feet of space in each direction to move. For the best experience kiddos should be on-camera from head-to-toes. If you have multiple children/siblings sharing a device you can add names upon entering Zoom by choosing "participants", your child, "more", "rename".

Families, often new students (to Zumba or online classes) will take a few sessions to simply sit and observe. Depending on the child this may last for 1 session or 10 sessions until the student feels comfortable and confident enough to participate. I try to allow students to take their time to warm up and quietly encourage them when they begin to engage more in class. 

 Classroom Page: I reccomend looking at the post on the classroom page 5-10 minutes before the start of class. I will post the "question of the day" before class and your child can prepare their answer before joining to relieve any anxiety. Always take a peek at the classroom page a few minutes after class, as well. I often post tips, videos, links to music used in class, or optional at-home extension ideas. 

If your child is 5-6, I recommend this class if they are still working on remaining attentive to an activity without parental guidance or if you are looking for a simple, fun high-energy class! If your child has a bit more focus and is looking for more of a challenge, I recommend my "Inclusive Zumba Kids" class for ages 5-9.
