Zumba in the Big Room
Close laptop. Open hips. Cardio disguised as fun. Join Zumba with Pawel at COSCS near Town Hall.
About This Class
If you're after a workout that feels like a night out (minus the 2am kebab), you're in the right place. This is a welcoming, queer-friendly, judgement-free Zumba class where you can show up as you are, move how you can, and leave feeling lighter.
Zumba is a dance-fitness program that feels like a party but works your whole body. We use simple, repeatable choreography set to energising music, so you get a cardio workout without staring at a clock. No dance experience needed — if you can move and follow along, you can do Zumba.
This class runs in the big rehearsal room at COSCS — mirrors on the walls, space to move, and room for up to 40 people. It's the full dance-studio experience, right in the CBD.

What to Expect
This class is 45 minutes with one water break.
The vibe: All-levels friendly and judgement-free, with options to reduce impact (no jumping), slow it down, or take a pause whenever you need. Expect Latin rhythms, pop, and throwback bangers, with a little queer joy on top (sparkles optional, good vibes strongly recommended).
First-time tips: Arrive a little early, pick a spot where you can see me, and copy what you can. If you miss a move, keep stepping to the beat and jump back in when you're ready; breaks are allowed, dramatic hair flicks are encouraged (optional, but iconic).
A front-row myth (tiny PSA): Contrary to popular belief, the front row isn't always the easiest spot when you're new. Standing a little further back often helps, because you can follow the people in front of you and avoid the "mirror confusion" effect.
Accessibility and comfort: Lower-impact options are always available. You can pause, step out, or modify moves at any time. If you have access needs or questions about the space (sound level, lighting, stairs, seating), message me and I'll tell you what to expect.
What to Bring
- Comfortable, supportive shoes
- Clothes you can move in
- Water
- A small towel (optional, but you'll thank yourself later)
