Covid-19 Level 2 - Zumba Classes

Jenna and I are thrilled to announce that starting Monday May 18, we will be resuming face-to-face Zumba classes again in Lower Hutt at the Avalon Community Hall on Tuesdays at 6pm and at Dyer Street School on Mondays and Thursdays at 6pm. To ensure everyone's safety during Level 2, we will be implementing several procedures to limit any possibility of Covid-19 community transmission.

Sport New Zealand has provided very clear guidelines on what sporting and recreational groups must adhere to during Level 2, if they wish to offer services to the public. Here is a link to the current Sport New Zealand guidelines for level 2 as of 12 May 2020.

Two of the main precautions we will be implementing will be a limit on the number of people in our classes, being a maximum of 10, and the ability to effectively contact trace all participants.

To this end, we have re-instigated our PunchPass booking system and implemented member accounts. You will now be able to manage your bookings and review the number of passes you currently have available. Please visit the link below for our full class calendar:

IMPORTANT: To reserve a spot in any of our face-to-face classes you must pre-purchase your passes from our website before making your booking on PunchPass. You can purchase passes on our pricing page. When you purchase a pass, we will activate it on PunchPass and you will then be able to make your booking and reserve your spot.

Online Zumba Classes

Thank you to all those who have supported us and our online classes over the last few weeks throughout levels 3 and 4. We would like to continue to provide these online classes but at this time we are unsure of what that new format will look like. This Saturday will be our last Free Online Zumba class and we hope that all our friends and regular members will join us for that class at 9am.

We are looking forward to seeing you all in-person at one of our classes. If you have any questions or concerns please contact us via our website or Facebook.
