The Team
MEL C - aka Da Boss!
Zumba® Central was founded by Mel C in October 2009, after 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 she 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, along side the team, runs several busy classes every week across Birmingham! All of our team are fully qualified Zumba Instructors with Full Public Liability insurance and the appropriate music licences.
