What is Zumba® Gold?
A unique approach to Zumba® Fitness that makes it low impact and suitable for all levels.
Our structured 10-week courses follow a truly beginner- and injury-friendly format. You don't need a dance background, and you don't need to be young, fit or thin (but it's also OK if you are). All you need is the desire to have fun dancing your way around the globe!
Come on a world tour of with us! You'll learn the basics of many dance styles such as Salsa, Bollywood, Merengue, Flamenco, Cha-cha, West African, Afro-Caribbean and more - but the focus is on fitness, not on mastering the technique. You’ll build your cardio fitness, co-ordination, range of motion, memory, balance and more. We sometimes add optional light hand weights (tins of tomatoes are perfect!) to tone you up that extra bit more. Each routine is introduced step by step at first, to make sure you understand it, then as the weeks go by we speed it up and add more routines. Laugh, smile, sweat, and sing along!
The Monday and Thursday evening classes are identical; choose one or both. Each is taught face-to-face in a studio, while also streamed via Zoom to participants at home (this is called a ‘hybrid’ format).
Enrolled participants also receive access to recordings of the classes, so you can keep dancing every day from home if you like. This is a free bonus.
LEVEL: Open to all
Modifications are available for a range of fitness levels; you can even take the class sitting down and just focus on the upper body. We encourage safe dance: the motto is "shake it, don't break it".
“I have been doing Rachel’s Zumba classes for nearly a decade and they’re an important, integral part of my week.
She is one of those one in a million teachers who brings an intelligence and sense of fun to her classes. I really admire her authenticity and expertise.
I also appreciate her use of world music and lessons about different cultures and dance styles.
Rachel is highly flexible and adapted amazingly to the changing landscape during the pandemic. I am so grateful to her for keeping my body moving during our lockdowns and I have continued her zoom sessions which she cleverly now runs simultaneously with her face to face classes.
Her prices are reasonable and it is so convenient and safe to continue the zoom classes from home. I am now able to attend an extra class per week as I don’t have to pour through the traffic to the other locations. That said - she is located all over Sydney so you’re sure to find a class close to home.
Finally, Rachel’s teaching style is one that enables everyone in the class to feel confident even if they’re new to Zumba. She ensures that they are well-paced and she is responsive to individuals’ needs. She demonstrates a variety of levels so that you can push yourself as hard as you like.
I cannot recommend Rachel’s Zumba classes highly enough.”
“I love to keep active! I've joined Rachel's Zumba Gold class for the last two years. I love her classes because she have different dances every term, and she challenges me with different steps and movements. She's accommodating all of us with different levels of fitness, especially Seniors. ”
