Raising Money the Zumba Way!

Raising Money the Zumba Way!

2 minute read

On Sunday 19th November we hosted our first charity Zumbathon, and it was an amazing success! We had an impressive turnout of 14 Zumba® instructors and over 100 participants, all coming together for 2 hours of energetic Zumba. This form of exercise enables everyone to dance to great music and get fit in a fun way. We worked out to slow and fast rhythms which are based on simple versions of salsa, merengue, cumbia and reggaeton dancing. Not only did we have a blast, but we also managed to raise over £900 for Dementia Oxfordshire!

The atmosphere in the hall was simply electric. It was a gathering of all ages and abilities, creating an entirely inclusive environment that buzzed with incredible vitality and passion.

A huge round of applause goes out to all of our energetic participants and the fantastic Zumba instructors!

    • You’re very welcome Keith.
      As you can tell, we had a blast hosting the event as well!

      We’re just trying to figure out when we can do something similar again!
