Hello and welcome to
www.zumbasandy.com
I qualified
as a Zumba® instructor in May 2010 and have loved teaching dance
exercise classes ever since! I teach in Cropwell Bishop and Upper Saxondale in Nottinghamshire.
I use Zumba®-style
music as well as recent chart hits which will guarantee to get you dancing, twirling
and jumping about the place! I do a mix of dance and exercise styles. Through a combination of aerobic and rhythmic
dance moves, we aim to target all the major muscle groups in the body.
I have a great
mix of enthusiasts at my classes - mum’s returning to exercise after months
(and years) of absence, tri-athletes, active pensioners and hard-working
professionals and students who need to burn off steam and calories. Everyone
simply wants to have fun and keep fit at the same time. You can exercise at a
level which is right for you, making it as high or low impact as you like.
Classes & Locations
Cropwell Bishop : Old School, Fern Road, (next to church)
Wednesdays
: 7.30pm – 45min class
Upper Saxondale : Community Hall (next to tennis courts and children’s play park –
follow Westminster Drive all the way round)
Fridays
: 9.15am – 45 min class
Class Prices
Advance payment : £4.50 per class. Payment is made up front
for the term and allows for one week of non-attendance, as I appreciate that
life can sometimes get busy. (So if a term comprises 7 classes, you pay for 6
classes in advance and if you attend the 7th class too, you pay
£4.50 for that class.)
Pay as you go : £5 per class
What people say…
People say how friendly and fun the classes are. I have had some
people attending classes for years…
“Really fun, great de-stress
and a hundred different ways to move your body and jump around! Sandy is an
excellent instructor and has kept me interested and motivated for more than 2
years!” - Lindsey
“Fantastic, always leave
feeling happy and sweaty!” – Helen
“Great exercise, enthusiastic
teacher, friendly atmosphere.” - Anna
“Best Zumba class I’ve been to
by far. Sandy was a great find!” -
Sophie
What should I wear or bring
to class?
What should I wear to class?
Whatever you
feel comfortable in. Your clothing should keep you cool and allow you to move
freely.
Which shoes are best?
Again -
personal preference and comfort are key. I’d suggest you wear "cross
training" or "aerobic" style shoes which provide cushioning and
medial lateral support needed for side-to-side movements. They also have low
traction rubber for easy sliding, turning and getting those hips moving!
Take care if
you wear running shoes as they tend to have a heavy tread on the soles designed
for forward motion only.
Should I bring anything else?
Remember to
bring a bottle of water to keep hydrated, a towel to mop your brow and your own
carefree style!
It would be really appreciated if
you could bring the correct change to pay for your class - thank you!
Indemnity form
All class
participants are required to complete an indemnity form prior to attending a
class. Please arrive at your first class five minutes early to allow enough
time to complete the form. Alternatively, please feel free to print out and
complete this form and bring
it along to your first class. Thank you.

What is Zumba®?
Zumba®
is a calorie-burning dance exercise featuring interval training sessions where
fast and slow rhythms, plus resistance moves are combined to tone and sculpt
your body while burning fat. Add a bit of Latin flavour and international zest
into the mix and you've got a Zumba® feel!
In my
classes we do a mix of dance, Zumba® and exercise styles, combining aerobic
and rhythmic dance moves to challenge our cardio, flexibility and strength fitness
levels.
Music and rhythms
Music is a
key ingredient in any dance exercise class. The Zumba® music score
is created with specific beats and tempo changes which take the workout through
various toning, strengthening or cardio moves. The routines use a variety of
dance styles including cumbia, salsa, merengue, reggaeton,
mambo, cha-cha-cha, samba, belly dancing, hip-hop and more...
It's easy
It really is
simpler than it looks. You don't have to know how to dance. You may get the
moves more quickly if you have a natural sense of rhythm, but everyone gets
there with their own unique style!
It's fun
Some of the
best classes are where people go left instead of right and everyone has a good
laugh! Every class I have ever participated in has been fun – everyone smiles,
laughs and enjoys themselves. You'll have such a great time, you'll forget
you're exercising and burning calories!
It's great for all shapes, sizes and fitness levels
You can
exercise at a level which is right for you, making it as high or low impact as
you like. Each routine has a mix of simple and more complex steps and you can
choose which ones work best for you.
