*Please read entire class description before enrolling*

This Zumba fitness class is open to new and experienced dancers alike. My previous classes have included trained dancers, students with disabilities, and everyone in-between. Classes will incorporate snip-its of education about different cultures, basic rhythm/musicality work, body awareness, health education, and silliness! This is a great class for students with extra energy before or after school, homeschool students who need a physical outlet or a PE class, students working on their gross-motor skills, and students who love to dance and move! 

Zumba Kids is a very different format from "adult" Zumba it involves more voice from the instructor, games each class, and discussion to make for a more interactive and age-appropriate experience. 

Each 20 minute Zumba class will include:
-A "question of the day"--each child will have the opportunity to answer the simple question verbally (students who need are welcome to answer via chat, parent, or simply wave)
-An easy-to-follow dance
-Freeze Dance
-Cool-down
-Closing question ("what was your favorite part of class?)

Note: This class does include time for optional sharing and speaking at the start and end. The closing question may cause class to go 2-5 minutes over time so feel free to log off whenever necessary. 

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" prior to class and your child can prepare their answer before joining to relieve any anxiety. 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. 

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 sharing a device you can add names upon entering Zoom by choosing "participants", your child, "more", "rename".
