ZUMBA

This is a fitness class disguised as a party! Zumba is a fitness program that combines Latin and international music with dance. The program routines incorporate interval training — alternating fast and slow rhythms — to help improve cardiovascular fitness. Anissia is a Licensed ZIN since 2018. Her energy is contagious!

Frequently Asked Questions

Who can join a CGDA adult class?

Anyone! We welcome all adult dancers, whether they have a dance background or not. Our adult classes are geared for beginners, but dancers with previous experience in earlier years are welcome to attend as well.

Do I need to register in advance online or can I just come in?

You can absolutely drop-in, but we do recommend logging into your account on the CGDA website and signing up to guarantee your spot for that week’s class. You will need an account with CGDA in order to participate in our classes.

What should I wear?

Something you can move in comfortably and confidently! Well-fitting leggings, tank-tops, t-shirts, and fitness styles are great choices. We do recommend investing in dance footwear if possible (eg. ballet shoes, tap shoes). This is because it can be difficult to execute the dance steps properly without the right grip or well-fitting footwear.

Do I need to be in good shape already?

All bodies were made to dance! In fact, dance is a wonderful way to get fit and have fun. Our classes are geared for beginner-level dancers, so you don’t need to worry about being a pro.
