What is ZumbAtomic®?
ZumbAtomic® is a specially designed fitness class for children aged 4-12 years old that incorporates movement, dance and games. 
The class also embeds social skills, discipline, respect and leadership skills in a fun but structured way.  No previous experience is needed to take part in the class either and there is no need to purchase a specific uniform to join in!  The classes are also drop-in so they do not interfere with any other commitments to hobbies or school and the classes even run in school holiday time.

What sort of music is used?
ZumbAtomic® music is completely unique and is based on modern latin music suitable for children.  Samples of the types of music used can be found at www.zumbatomic.com and includes hip-hop, samba, batacuda, reggaeton and merengue.

Is this a new concept?
Although ZumbAtomic® was only introduced to the United Kingdom in 2010, it is based on the internationally successful Zumba® formula which has been around in the UK for more than 3 years and has been an international success for around 20 years!  The classes in Haling, however, were the first classes in Kent.  ZumbAtomic® box sets have also been available to purchase internationally for some time and include music, dance routines and cartoons.

What is the benefit of ZumbAtomic®?
It is recommended that children take part in at least 60 minutes of structured exercise throughout the week and the e classes are a great way to contribute to that.  Children will make new friends, gain in confidence and improve their balance and co-ordination dramatically as well as their memory and musicality.  By taking part in regular structured exercise classes, children will be on their way to living a healthy life and are less likely to suffer from obesity and other health-related issues as an adult.  The classes also embed discipline, team work and respect as well as leadership skills and responsibility, so they are the perfect way to enjoy a fun workout.  The classes are also drop-in which means you only need to pay when you can afford to!

What do the children wear?
There is no uniform so clothing is up to you, although the children should be able to move freely.  Children should also wear trainers on their feet to allow them to exercise without damaging themselves.
