Zumba at Transition2
Introducing ‘Zumba Ange’ – our wonderful Zumba instructor at T2!
“Hi my name is Angela, known to the students as Zumba Ange.
My involvement with the T2 students is on a weekly basis, delivering a Zumba Fitness class. Each week I instruct a 45 minute Zumba session which incorporates many Latin American dance moves to Latin American music. I do throw in current music which the students can relate to but at the same time keeping Zumba’s magic formula. After each class the students, staff and I discuss specific goals the students have reached and make suggestions of reaching different aims. All students are very patient and recognise when they and their peers achieve.
Over the last year I have seen a great improvement with the students; the recognition of what moves are next, keeping rhythm, coordination and the most important aspect of all joining in and having fun.
I have been teaching dance for over 15 years and instructing Zumba for over 4 years. The experience I have gained whilst delivering to T2 students is priceless, every one of them give so much and try so hard. It’s so rewarding to be part of T2.“
Zumba Ange continues to offer an energetic and fun weekly class with T2 and can also be found running classes at her studio in Belper – Ritmo Studio. The relationships she has built at T2 have led to a fantastic work experience opportunity for one of our learners, who now supports her with a weekly Zumba Gold class at Ritmo Studio. This creates more great links in the community and the opportunity for our learners to build on their confidence and to share their skills and strengths!
