| View in browser October Newsletter  👋 Welcome to the October newsletter  September has been a fabulous month! Lots of you have been away, but turnout has still been really good, so much so that the Monday 10am class has been pretty much full for the last two weeks. 🙌   To make sure you get your place, please do book in advance.   I've also realised that some of you thought that if you've always come to the 10am class, you can't switch to the 11am. That's not the case at all! You may book a spot in any available class. And if the class you want is full when you go to book, I highly recommend booking the next class straight away, as it's unlikely you'll get a space from the waiting list.   On a personal note, Cleo has settled into university really well, and I'm delighted to report she's having a fantastic time! Here she is in her accommodation studying hard. Apparently, Chemistry is going to kill her !! I'll be heading down to spend a week with her in October, working from home while I'm there. That does mean no Zumba classes that week, but Sarah will be covering my Friday class. Full details are in the closures below.  📅  October closures Friday 2nd October: no class. Monday 12th and Wednesday 14th October: no classes while I'm away. Friday 16th October: Sarah is covering, so this class goes ahead as normal. I'll be back with you on Monday 19th October!     As a reminder, here's where to find me each week: 📍 Mondays – Plantation Hall, Heybridge (10am & 11am)   📍 Wednesdays – Millennium Hall, Great Baddow (10am & 11am) 📍 Fridays – Millennium Hall, Great Baddow (11:15am)    🎄 Save the Date: Christmas Lunch I've booked our Christmas lunch at the Tin Roof Cafe on Thursday 3rd December at 12:30pm! 🎉   The Tin Roof was a fantastic venue for us last year, and this year should be even better, as they've agreed that all of our classes can come together on the same day. I've picked a Thursday to make it easier, avoiding our Zumba days.   You have the option of two or three courses with full payment needed to secure your place. Please click on THIS FORM to give me your menu choices and payment can be made by correct cash in class or by bank transfer.    Account name: Stephanie Gunn Sort code: 60-83-71 Account number: 86124706 Reference: Your name  💃 New Choreography    I have a new routine for you, and it's a really, really easy one! H.A.P.P.Y. by Jessie J. 🎉 A few of you have been asking for something simpler, as much of my choreography can be quite complicated, so I wrote this one just for you. I was inspired by seeing Jessie J sing live on stage at Carfest over the August bank holiday weekend, and I really wanted to use some of her music. I was so pleased with how well this routine worked with the track. This type of choreography is called KISS choreography. Keep it simple sweetheart.    It's a catchy number, and most of you seem to enjoy simply singing along! From what I can tell, pretty much everyone in class has loved it. 🎶 Here's the video if you'd like to practise at home: 🌟 Learn with Steph - Step of the Month:  Kick Ball Change    This month's step to practise is the Kick Ball Change! 💃   This one crops up all over the place in my choreography, and it can seem quite quick at first. But once you've got the idea, it's fairly straightforward. Watch the video below, then practise at home and perfect the move.   Want more? Head over to the full Learn with Steph area on the website for more steps, techniques, and that all important stretching section 👇 zumbawithsteph.uk/learn 🚶‍♀️ ParkWalk September's ParkWalk was lovely. We had a small turnout, and it wasn't quite a PB this time, as we got so wrapped up in conversation that we forgot to walk quickly!   😄 That being said, it was still a wonderful morning, and we really enjoyed the walk and the chat.   Our next ParkWalk is on Saturday 24th October. Please do come and join us, and bring a friend! New walkers are always welcome. We have a WhatsApp group just for ParkWalk within our community, so join that for all the up-to-date information on the day. 📱     And if you've not yet joined the community, please see the WhatsApp section below. 💬 Before You Go... As the weather becomes cooler, it's still really important to move our bodies on a daily basis. I hope that by coming to class, I can help you achieve that, maybe once or twice a week. 💛 If you haven't joined our WhatsApp community yet, now is a great time! It's where I share on-the-day updates, and after every class I post the playlist, so you can check the names of the tracks you've been dancing to. It's the only place I share them, so it's well worth being a member. Notifications can be turned off if you prefer, and most of the time there aren't many messages flying around anyway.

Leave smiling.   zumbawithsteph.uk 07951 574501 stephgunnzumba@gmail.com   Zumba with Steph, 7 Stone Path Drive, Chelmsford, Essex CM3 2LG, United Kingdom, 07951574501 Unsubscribe Manage preferences |
