Moving, Learning, and Thriving Together
I’m thrilled to share some exciting news… Sport England has awarded us funding to continue Zumba & Connect for another 12 weeks!
Over the last 20 weeks, this program has grown into more than just a class — it’s become a vibrant community where women come to move, learn, laugh, and support each other.
What Makes Zumba & Connect Special
At its heart, Zumba & Connect is about bringing together two powerful elements:
1️⃣ Zumba – Pure energy, joy, and movement.
We dance, we laugh, and we work up a sweat — but the beauty is, it never feels like “exercise.” Instead, it feels like a party where everyone’s invited, no matter your age or fitness level.
2️⃣ Connect – Refreshments and real conversations.
After we’ve moved our bodies, we sit down, share a cuppa, and connect over important topics that affect our health and lives. We’ve had guest speakers covering everything from menopause, natural healing, and back problems to diabetes, cholesterol, and more.
Why This Works
It’s a formula that’s helping women take control of their health and wellbeing in a way that’s both natural and enjoyable.
You move your body, you learn something new, and you build relationships — all in one place. That’s why the feedback we’ve received has been so overwhelmingly positive.
The Impact So Far
The results speak for themselves:
- Better health & wellbeing – Many women report more energy, better mobility, and improved mood.
- Improved mental health – One lady, after being home for a long time dealing with anxiety, gained the confidence to return to full-time work. We miss her, but we’re so proud of her progress.
- Social connection – For many of our ladies, especially those who are retired, this is a reason to get out of the house, meet new people, and feel part of something uplifting.
It’s about more than just exercise — it’s about friendship, support, and inspiration.
Who It’s For
Zumba & Connect is open to women of all ages and fitness levels. You don’t need to be a dancer, and you don’t need to be “fit” to start — you just need to be willing to show up, move at your own pace, and join the conversation.
Whether you’re looking for:
- A fun way to stay active
- A supportive community
- Practical health and wellbeing advice
- Or simply a reason to get out of the house and do something for yourself…
…this is for you.
What’s Coming Next
Thanks to Sport England, we’ll be running another 12-week block starting Wednesday 10th September.
Each week you can expect:
- Zumba – Dance, move, and enjoy the music while getting a great workout without even thinking about it.
- Connect – Learn from guest speakers, enjoy refreshments, and spend time in uplifting company.
💷 Cost: £3.50 per class OR £30 in advance for the full 12-week course — a saving of £12.
