Donita Crowder, a certified Zumba® instructor, is excited to teach children the benefits of a healthy lifestyle and activity. Zumba® Kids classes feature kid-friendly routines based on original Zumba® choreography. Crowder will break down the steps, add games, activities, and cultural exploration elements into the class structure. The class will help develop a healthy lifestyle and incorporate fitness as a natural part of children's lives by making fitness fun. Students will improve their key childhood development elements like leadership, respect, teamwork, confidence, self-esteem, memory, creativity, coordination, and cultural awareness. Crowder says she is “so excited to help children develop a love for fitness and dance while introducing them to music and dances from around the world.”
