I’ve always LOVED dancing, but HATED sports at school and going to the gym. I’ve run fun classes throughout Northamptonshire ladies who are looking for some escape from the stresses of life and the boring routines of home.

I didn’t feel the need to do it perfectly, I just wanted to enjoy the music, make some friends, get fitter and have some fun! In 2011 I was accidentally introduced to Zumba fitness and I was hooked immediately. It did exactly what I wanted, I got to dance without someone telling me it was wrong, the moves fitted in to the music and the music was catchy and uplifting. It was so much fun that I wanted to do more of it and become an instructor, but I was lacking confidence, I was older that everybody else, I wasn’t a gym bunny or a professional dancer. I was just an ordinary, stressed out wife and mother. I’ve been running dance fitness classes in Northamptonshire ever since. I believe a dance class should first and foremost be welcoming and supportive for everyone, be somewhere where ladies can enjoy being with like-minded people, break free from the stresses of everyday life, improve their fitness and have some fun.
