Ageing Graciously and Growing Up Purposefully

Ageing Graciously

Our seniors have helped build Singapore. We must be grateful to them, and it is only right that we connect closely with them to lead healthy, socially connected, and happy lives.

Our team aims to use Zumba Gold fitness to spread the message to everyone that elderly can aged gracefully, healthily and actively.

Growing Up Purposefully

Yesterday, some of our team members were certified to become Zumba Kids/ Kids Junior Instructors. I am proud to share that we will be also spreading our Zumba love to kids, to develop them from young to be active and healthy.

Too many of our youngsters are spending much of their time on electronics gagdets and all, we hope we can use Zumba program to attract them to socialise and interact with fellow peers and get them MOVIN' away from the computer games and addiction.

Central Singapore CDC Inter-SAC Activity Day 25 Oct 2013

We are truly honored to be asked to participate in Central Singapore CDC Inter-SAC Activity Day 2013 today at MDIS campus. 

TODAY MARKS OUR FIRST MEGA ZUMBA GOLD PARTY in Singapore, all in the name of CHARITY !!!!

There were about 680 elderly this morning and we were totally overwhelmed by the turnout !!!!

The team rocked the MDIS audotorium, engaging the elderly with simple and fun moves. Who says elderly can't have fun fitness and dance party when they get older? We have just proved them wrong!!

Let's continue to Party on with our elderly and blessed them with fun fitness.

Thank you for the great team for making time out of their busy schedules to do such a meaningful activity for our community.
