Zumba with Angela

Happy Friday everyone! 😀

I'm looking forward to bringing back the original, authentic Zumba experience from the early 2000's.

Come and experience Zumba the way it was in the beginning. I've been enjoying Zumba for 25 years, and I'd love to share with you, how it all began for me, when the routines were simple, easy to follow, and really gave you a full body workout, including those tummy muscles we all want to tone 😊

I have 4 spots left for 7.30 tonight.

Come check out my new class featuring the original, authentic version of Zumba from the early 2000s.

When Zumba was first introduced, it was promoted as a Latin-inspired dance fitness party, with the potential to burn up to 600 calories in a class. The choreography was simpler and more repetitive, making it easier to follow. The class structure combined higher and lower intensity routines to improve fitness levels, and we incorporated movements that really worked the muscles, particularly the core, including the upper and lower abdominals. This makes it a great full-body workout, strengthening and toning muscles. It's a fun and effective way to tone the abdominal area after pregnancy and beyond.

Over the years, Zumba choreography has become much more complex, and often hard to follow. Classes today often focus more on complicated dance moves rather than on a structured fitness workout.

I'm bringing back the authentic Latin-Inspired Dance Fitness Party that is Zumba, with all the original routines from when it all began.

Join me for "Zumba Throwback to the early years," and book one of my 3 trial classes for only $10

Trial class schedule:
7:30 p.m. Friday 4th

Thank you to everyone who commented and showed their support after my last post. ❤️ Your kind words mean a lot.

Just to clarify, I’m not giving up or retiring anytime soon. I simply wanted to give everyone a heads-up that if participant numbers continue to decline, I may not be able to sustain the running costs to continue the Zumba classes.

I’m considering introducing some other Zumba formats if any local venues will consider it.
These will include:
Zumba Toning (Zumba with maraca sticks for extra muscle toning).

Zumba Step (with aerobic step platforms).

Family Zumba class where you can bring your kids along. I’m certified to teach Zumba Kids and hold a current Working with Children Check.

I’m taking expressions of interest now, so if any of these class types interests you, please let me know.
And keep an eye out for new class formats on my Instructor Page @

I want to be honest with my Zumba with Angela community about where I’m currently at, because I’ve been thinking seriously about whether I can continue.

I’m actually considering retiring from Zumba.

The reality is that my business is going downhill, and I simply can’t afford to keep putting money into advertising when I’m getting very little return.

A big part of the problem is the number of people in the area presenting themselves as Zumba instructors and using the Zumba name to attract participants, while teaching something that isn’t actually Zumba.

Someone may have completed the one-day Zumba training and received a certificate, but that doesn’t automatically mean they have the experience or understanding of the Latin-inspired dance fitness program that Zumba is. It isn’t aerobics, it isn’t simply jumping around to music, and it isn’t Dance-fit, Bolly-fit, or whatever type of fitness class someone happens to teach with the word “Zumba” put on the advertisement.

The problem is that these classes are attracting people who are paying for what they believe is Zumba. That directly affects instructors who are actually trying to provide the genuine program.

I can no longer run my classes at most of the local community centres, as there is no availability due to this fraudulent activity.

From a participant’s perspective, they may believe they’re attending Zumba. And meanwhile, genuine Zumba instructors are losing opportunities and business.

And honestly, it has taken a lot of the passion out of it for me.

I’ve spent years building Zumba with Angela, investing time and money, learning the program and putting a lot of care into providing my participants with the original, authentic Zumba experience.

It is incredibly frustrating to watch the market become saturated with people who may have a certificate but very little experience or understanding of the program, while simply using the Zumba name to sell something else.

I’m not making a final decision just yet. But I do want to be transparent with all of you about what is happening behind the scenes and why I’m seriously considering whether continuing is financially and personally sustainable.

To everyone who has supported Zumba with Angela, kept coming to my classes, recommended me to others and been part of this community.. thank you. ❤️

You are the reason I’ve continued for as long as I have.
