y focus is on creating welcoming, inclusive experiences for people to find (or rediscover) the joy of movement. I’m committed to making fitness what I believe it was always meant to be:

*a fun, social experience
*accessible and welcoming to everyone
*inclusive of all genders, bodies, fitness levels and abilities
*a celebration of how awesome we already are! I look to promote body liberation, joyful movement, and inclusion, recognizing that I come from a position of privilege.

Important Reminder❗ RibFest is happening on the Fredericton Exhibition Grounds starting tomorrow, Thursday June 11th and will significantly impact parking at The Cultural Centre. Please arrive early and plan to park on nearby streets and walk over to class. Be mindful not to park in the Stepping Stone Senior Centre parking lot to avoid the risk of being towed, and respect all city parking signage.

Today is National Health & Fitness Day and I had a fantastic time celebrating with the women of Canbe Life Global 🎉 I was asked to include Afrobeat so I learned 8 Afrobeat songs + 1 gospel song for our stretch. I like some of the songs so much that I'll be adding a couple to our September playlist - stay tuned!

It's going to be a toasty one tomorrow! Be sure to dress light, and bring lots of water to Zumba class. See you @ 7pm at The Cultural Centre for the first week of our summer playlist 😎🎉

The wait is finally over! Our summer playlist starts this week 🎉 You picked your favourites songs from the past 8+ years and I turned them into a 'greatest hits' playlist that we'll be dancing to for the months of June, July & August. This is the Cultural Centre (Thursday night) version. We'll be doing a slightly different version at REDS Rec on Monday nights (video in the comments section). The dates in pink are the year we first danced to each of these songs 🙂

You can listen to the full playlist anytime on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4j4aVNnzJMeMJttpIjlQW0?si=_5rMIz7FSZGUxp8g07yJxA&pi=tg1kdk4KSkyHh

Every week I stand up in front of a room full of people and dance. When I look at you and smile, there's actually more going on than you might realize. Here are a few of the things I'm paying attention to as I look around the room:

- I'm checking to see if everyone is safe. Does anyone look dizzy or unwell? Keeping you safe is an important part of my job. Noticing signs early can help prevent an accident or injury.

- I'm checking whether everyone can see me. Being able to see the instructor clearly can make a big difference in how people experience class. Not being able to see can leave people feeling frustrated or discouraged. Clear sight lines makes it easier to follow along.

- I'm looking to see if people are having fun. Do they seem to be enjoying the song? Are they smiling? Singing along? Getting real time feedback helps me design classes that people enjoy! Are you someone who doesn't smile while you dance? Don't worry, I know some people are just concentrating on the steps - I won't assume you're having a bad time 😄

- I'm watching to see if people are able to follow the steps. I pay extra attention to this when I introduce new songs, and when I know people are dancing with me for the first time. I never expect people to do exactly what I do. Instead I'm looking for signs that I need to adjust my approach as an instructor. Do I need to offer more verbal cues? Do I need to simplify the step? Break it down? Offer more movement options? If my class is struggling to follow it's my responsibility to adapt, not yours!

Believe it or not, our summer playlist begins in just 3 weeks! And I have one last question for you - which stretch song do you want to revisit?

Last summer we alternated between 'Courageous' and 'Shooting Star'. Which one should we do this year?
