This class is part of a national Age UK programme called Fit as a Fiddle3 and through the Bursary scheme is working in partnership with East of England Polish Community Organisation5 to put on these Zumba4 Gold classes for the local community.

The sessions are lead by Marta Maj a qualified and experienced teacher in Zumba.  She explains ‘Zumba Gold combines the exciting Latin and International dance rhythms of Zumba and brings them to the active older cliental.  Zumba Gold is great for general fitness, mobility, posture, muscular strength as well as key factor in helping to maintain or improve bone density, vital in the prevention of osteoporosis.
