Perfect for every body and everybody! Each Zumba® class is designed to bring people together to sweat it on. This is an inclusive dance fitness program for all adult ages, fitness levels and body types — all you need to be able to do is enjoy moving to music! We take the “work” out of workout by mixing low intensity and high intensity moves for an interval style, calorie burning dance fitness party. Once the Latin, Pop and World rhythms take over, you’ll see why Zumba Fitness classes are often called exercise in disguise. Super effective? Check! Super fun? Check and check!

About the instructor: Carson Burnham is a joyful instructor who came to Zumba after a lifetime of trying different fitness programs and struggling with weight loss. Of all the programs out there, Zumba is the one that really stuck — it’s a joy to do, the people who do it form a wonderful and supportive community, and it helped her to lose over 80 pounds and keep it off! Carson began teaching because she wanted to share the same positive experience with others that she felt herself. Her music is fun and her style is designed to help students at all levels truly enjoy the experience of dance fitness.
