Introduction

What is Zumba?

Zumba is an exercise evolved from dance that combines music with easy-to-learn movements and intermittent aerobic movement. It includes various South American dance styles such as samba, cha-cha, salsa, reggae, flamenco and tango. The term ‘Zumba’ originates from Colombian slang that means ‘fast movement’. Even people without any dance background can find relaxation and fun in Zumba. 

 

 

On Thursday morning, pupils and staff engaged in an exciting Fun Run activity. We enjoyed the fun of running on the field which was turned into a sea of joy with laughter and cheers. Children ran happily, releasing their energy and passion.
