Zumba Kids

While exercise is indeed a very important element of childhood development, ZumbAtomic® also considers the whole child. Developing a healthy lifestyle, therefore, includes learning the following: Leadership, Respect, Team work, Pride, Confidence, Responsibility, Coordination, Balance, Discipline, Memory, Creativity and more. How is ZumbAtomic different than Zumba? ZumbAtomic recognizes that kids learn differently than adults. They don’t understand just yet the benefits of a healthy and active lifestyle and their attention is much shorter than adults. Because of this, the ZumbAtomic formula breaks down steps for its younger audience. Unlike much of basic Zumba, there is plenty of verbal talking to walk them through the steps. And of course, one of the biggest differences is that the moves are modified to be “kid friendly”. Challenging moves are simplified so that kids can “get it” and feel a sense of accomplishment. Smaller kids can also learn direction such as left versus right, etc. And lastly, ZumbAtomic incorporates games. How long is a typical ZumbAtomic class? Because this is a kids program, ZumbAtomic is typically taught anywhere from 30-45 minutes. An hour generally is too long to keep a child’s attention. Can I have ZumbAtomic at my special event? Of course, ZumbAtomic is a great addition to any birthday party or children’s’ event. It keeps them entertained, moving and having fun!!
