Zumba

Sadly we’ve just had the last Zumba class for the moment. Numbers have dropped to the point where the class is not viable for Lizzie. I am really sorry about this as I have enjoyed it so much. I am absolutely no good at dancing but it has been such a privilege to learn dance steps with a professional dancer. Zumba routines work both the body and mind. I was surprised at how hard I had to concentrate! And yes, it was sometimes an effort to get to the class but how fantastic to have yet another class arranged for us in the village! Also, I have not laughed till I cried for a long time!!
