What to expect

• Cardiovascular fitness – enjoy gentle movement that gets your body moving
• Range of motion – explore comfortable movement through different parts of the body
• Coordination – practise moving different parts of your body together
• Balance – develop balance and stability through accessible movement

Movement, music and community

Zumba® Gold combines the social energy of a group dance class with a gentler approach to exercise. Uplifting music and easy-to-follow choreography create a joyful environment where you can move, have fun and connect with others.

You don’t need to be a dancer or already be fit to take part. The class is designed to welcome people with different levels of movement experience and encourage everyone to participate at a level that feels right for them.

Who is Zumba® Gold for?

Zumba® Gold is particularly suited to active older adults, beginners, people new to exercise and people returning to movement after injury. It’s also ideal for anyone who enjoys Zumba but would prefer a lower-intensity class.
