Zumba For A Reason
Thursday, April 7th, 2011On Friday 11th of March at 8pm 119 people packed out Hazelwick school to “Zumba for a reason”
That reason was to raise awareness and funds for The Cystic Fybrosis Trust, Organised by Joanne Cooper.
Cystic Fibrosis affects the internal organs, especially the lungs and digestive system, by clogging them with thick sticky mucus. This makes it hard to breathe and digest food.
* Each week, five babies are born with Cystic Fibrosis.
* Each week, two young lives are lost to Cystic Fibrosis.
* Average life expectancy is 38 years.
I didn’t realize just how many people around me are affected by Cystic fybrosis until I started organizing the event. Mums at my childrens school spoke to me about there experiences, ladies in my classes, A neighbor of mine even knocked to donate £30 as she had lost a close friend to CF.
Lots of fantastic local instructors gave up there spare time to come down and to teach for everyone…. Vicky Hayes, Mandi Zumba lloyd, Sarah Cubitt, Ellie Cubitt, Sarah Broadley, Sarah Ray, Jayne Nicola and Nicole Wizotzki.
We Zumba’ed for a full hour and a half and raised £1090.08!!!
We had a special surprise at the end of the evening. The wonderful Sam Kenneally who attends Joanne’s Wednesday class sang the last song for everyone… bringing the night to a fantastic end….
Thank you to everyone who donated xxx

Is it a Rumba, no it’s Zumba!
Friday, February 26th, 2010Crawley Happy Times have been invited to the launch of the new Zumba dance class, so decided to take a look at what we were letting ourselves in for.
What is Zumba?
Zumba is a latin inspired dance fitness class.
The Zumba program fuses hypnotic Latin rhythms and easy-to-follow moves to create a one-of-a-kind fitness program that will blow you away. Our goal is simple: We want you to want to work out, to love working out, to get hooked. Zumba Fanatics achieve long-term benefits while experiencing an absolute blast in one exciting hour of calorie-burning, body-energizing, awe-inspiring movements meant to engage and captivate for life.
The routines feature interval training sessions where fast and slow rhythms and resistance training are combined to tone and sculpt your body while burning fat. Add some Latin flavor and international zest into the mix and you’ve got a Zumba class.
In the past years, the Zumba program has become nothing short of a revolution, spreading like wildfire, and positioning itself as the single most influential movement in the industry of fitness.
As of July 2009, the Zumba program is being taught at over 50,000 locations in 75 countries, has sold millions of DVDs, and has changed the lives of Zumba fanatics worldwide with an astonishing six million participants taking Zumba classes every week.
Participants pump there legs, windmill there arms, gyrate their hips, clap their hands,dip,slide and spin – all to a frenzied beat.
Who will be teaching us?
Joanne Cooper and Sarah Cubitt are old friends who share the passion for dance and fitness. Sarah teaches Body Pump, Body Jam with qualifications in lots of other areas (aerobics, aqua etc). Sarah works as a primary school teacher in Horley during the day. Sarah has a two children. Her daughter attends classes and wishes to gain her Zumba qualification like her mum. Joanne also works during the day and looks after two children but feels running the Zumba classes fits nicely around her lifestyle. Joanne and Sarah have never taught together but felt this would be a perfect opportunity to do so.
What should we wear?
Wear your trainers and bring plenty of water. You will need it to drink, but more importantly to throw over your feet when they are set on fire!
Where and when are the classes being held?
The launch is at Maidenbower Community Centre on Tuesday 2nd March 7.45pm ’till 8:30pm and is FREE to all who attend. The usual cost is £5.00 per session. The classes will run on a weekly basis.
