Zumba

Zumba classes

Rachell has been a qualified Zumba instructor since 2009, and further qualified as a Zumba Kids and Zumba Gold instructor.

The Zumba lifestyle is built on the belief that physical activity and healthy habits can be joyful, fun, and easy to weave into everyday life.

More than a fitness program, Zumba is a movement rooted in joy, inclusivity, and self-expression. These values come through in its energetic dance steps, vibrant music, and supportive community.

All levels welcome

Open to all levels. Come as you are and stay until the final track — or longer!

Events and groups

Zumba sessions for workplaces, clubs and community events.

Kids

Kids dance

Children are our future, and as guides in their learning journey, we are committed to supporting their social, physical, and mental well-being.

Peter and Rachell have more than 25 years’ experience teaching movement and dance to children from age 2. Rachell’s own method for 5- to 12-year-olds, Kidswing, was hugely popular in the Netherlands, where she taught it in her dance studio for 24 years.

They also found great joy in teaching Ballroom and Latin American dance to young people aged 14 and over, while helping them develop valuable social skills.

Research shows that tamariki who engage in movement from an early age build confidence and feel safer in themselves and in their learning environments, leading to stronger outcomes in education, work, and life.
