Zumba® Fitness is Healthy, Entertaining, and right for You! Zumba®, a fusion of Latin and International high-energy music and dance moves, is an international craze that's currently sweeping the world. Designed specifically for and led by special needs young adults, this program provides the local special needs community with physical and mental challenges, as well as socialization opportunities.
The program enhances health and wellness and allows participants to benefit from regular exercise, while having fun too! The routines in this program series are a gentler version of Zumba® with combinations of fast and slow aerobic dance movements that tone and sculpt the body, and includes built-in incremental routines to support steady improvement of the students. Young adults with special needs are among the most disenfranchised in our society. Participation in Zumba® helps promotes socialization, integration quality of life and joy. Research shows that increased physical fitness helps to promote cardiovascular strength, tone muscles, and sharpen alertness. Participation in music and dance therapy builds self-confidence and self-esteem and improves socialization skills. It also promotes increased body awareness, coordination, motor planning, and help in achieving daily life-skills goals, too. So come join Jessica & PJ for an exhilarating and life transforming hour of dancing fun--and the most giggles ever! |
