Class Information for August 2011

WE ARE NOW CLOSED FOR AUGUST!

Thank you for your interest in Essex Zumba Fitness classes, kindly note that we are now closed for the month of August for our annual holidays and full timetable resumes from Monday 5th September.  We do have the Essex Zumba Summer Spectacular on Monday 1st August but please remember that this event is ticket entry only and is already completely sold out.  We start the new term with a fantastic Zumbathon on Thursday 1st September, when we will showcase all the new routines for the autumn term.  Further details may be found below. In the mean time please visit our Facebook page by clicking here and LIKE the page for further updates.

ZUMBATHON FOR RARER CANCERS FOUNDATIONS 1ST SEPT

Please join us on Thursday 1st September from 7pm until 9pm at Maldon Football Club for our very first Zumbathon, raising money for a very worthwhile cause! This will be the first taste of all the brand new routines for September, we will have live bongo drums and a goody bag for every person that takes part, entrance fee is just £10.  Tickets will be on sale on Monday 1st August at Maldon Football Club between 6pm and 7pm, or may be reserved to pay for on the night by texting me on 07787 512617 or emailing me at joanistcliere@aol.com.

 AND FINALLY

I cannot really express in words how amazing this year has been for me, I have taught crowds in excess of 120 people, I have danced with fellow teachers and my idols Tanya Beardsley and Beto Perez in London, I have performed with my Zumba Babes in a number of public places even in the pouring rain, appeared in several newspapers, but most importantly of all I have met and grown close to so many lovely people.   Zumba has given me the opportunity to meet like minded people that I now consider my friends as well as my class members and colleagues. The Zumba Love is not a “cheesey thing” I see it every day in my classes and fellow teachers, and not only is it empowering but it is contagious and addictive!

Long live Zumba and Zumba Love – see you in September – from Joani xx

        A HUGE THANK YOU TO ESSEX ZUMBA BABES!

        I would like to send out a huge thank you to the Essex Zumba Babes for volunteering their spare time on the weekends to help raise money for a number of worthwhile local charities, during our first fund raising performance Farleigh Hospice have confirmed that £2700 was raised over the course of the day, and Friends of Bromfield Hospital have confirmed that £1500 was raised the following week where we made our second performance.   Thank you so much to each and every Essex Zumba Babe for being such a wonderful bunch and making each event we attend such a pleasurable experience! You can read an article about us by clicking here.

        If you attend a class that is confirmed to be fully booked, please remember to text us if you cannot make class, because we are now frequently turning people away in order to hold your place and this is not a problem if you plan to be back the next week but is obviously unfair if you are absent for prolonged periods of time or no longer need your place – please help us to run the registers smoothly by keeping in touch and texting me on 07787 512617 – thank you.

          Class Update for W/C Monday 4th July

           

          ESSEX ZUMBA BABES FOR WORLD DOMINATION!

          Well that might be a little over the top, but words cannot express how proud I am to have the most amazing team of dancers that are now affectionately known as the Essex Zumba Babes.  Over the course of the last few weeks, the Babes have appeared at various locations in Essex raising money for charities, PTA’s and other very worthy causes.  Every event we have attended has attracted so much positive feedback and the Essex Zumba Babes give their time freely often bringing along family members for support too!  Thank you to each and every one of you for being so fantastic – keep up the good work!

          Our next event will be the 999 Day at Maldon Prom Park on Sunday 17th July when we will be performing on stage once again.  Please join us there or even better still……….. join the Zumba Babes, we have such good fun together!

          NO CLASS IN BURNHAM THIS WEEK

          Kindly note that there will be no Tuesday 8.30pm Zumba Class at the Ramblers in Burnham on Crouch this week, this is due to the hall not being available on the first Tuesday of each month. Our next Burnham class will be on July 12th so hope to see you there.

          NEW TIMES PROPOSED FOR WEDNESDAYS

          We are currently asking for feedback with regards to changing the times of the Wednesday evening classes in Chelmsford, classes currently run at 7.30pm and 8.30pm but we have problems with parking and complaints about loud music after 9.30pm too, so we are suggesting that from September we bring the classes forward half an hour so that they start at 7pm and 8pm.  Please let me know if you are a regular in either class and feel that this will be a problem. You can email me at joanistcliere@aol.com or call/text me on 07787 512617.

          AGE LIMIT POLICY

          We have received a high quantity of enquiries about children attending Zumba Fitness classes and although both myself and Claire actively encourage children to exercise, we do not suggest that they attend Zumba Fitness classes as the content and the style is aimed at adults and is definitely not suitable for anyone under the age of 16.  If your children would like to attend ZumbAtomic which is the Zumba programme designed especially for children, then please contact my colleague Claire Ruse on 07985702650, Claire is your closest qualified and insured ZumbAtomic Teacher.

          AND FINALLY

          Whilst we all enjoy the lovely sunshine it can mean that we are at risk of dehydration especially if you attend Zumba on a hot day or night. Remember to drink before, during and after your class and take breaks whenever you need them.

          Stay healthy and happy and keep dancing lovely people – from Joani x
