Welcome to Zumba® Central!
Zumba® Central was founded by Mel C in October 2009, with an aim to teach weekly classes in the Midlands, and ultimately, throughout the UK.
Mel was encouraged to try Zumba® when two of her Reggaeton students {Sally and Dave - cheers guys!} mentioned that they had recently qualified, and they thought that Mel would love it!
As Zumba® is made up of several different Latin dance styles, Salsa, Merengue, and Reggaeton being 3 of the main styles used, Mel already had a head start, as she had been teaching those dance styles for over a decade.Mel attended the instructors course, successfully qualified, and now runs three very busy classes every week! The rest, as they say, is history!
What is Zumba®?
Zumba® is a combination of different styles of Latin dance (such as Salsa, Merengue, Reggaeton, Cumbia, Samba, the list goes on!) and fitness exercises. It's a great form of exercise as it is so much fun, and best of all, its suitable for everybody! People have been known to burn up to 700 calories in one session, so it's also a great weight loss aid!
Zumba® classes are not like structured dance classes, you pick up the moves as you go along, you don't have to be an expert in dance or fitness, and you can go at your own pace!
Zumba® Central run classes in Birmingham, every Monday at Calthorpe School in Central Birmingham, every Tuesday at Fitness First in Bearwood, and every Wednesday at Oldbury College of Sport, West Midlands. See the Classes Page for details.
So, get yourself down to one of Zumba® Central's classes, and as Beto would say, 'Ditch the Workout and Join the Party'!!
