Zumba with Pawel in Darlinghurst

About

If you're after a workout that feels like a night out (minus the 2am kebab), you're in the right place. This is a welcoming, queer-friendly, judgement-free Zumba class where you can show up as you are, move how you can, and leave feeling lighter.

Zumba is a dance-fitness program that feels like a party but works your whole body. We use simple, repeatable choreography set to energising music, so you get a cardio workout without staring at a clock. No dance experience needed. If you can move and follow along, you can do Zumba.

This is the longest and liveliest session on the schedule. We've got the big upstairs room, around 70 minutes of music, and two water breaks to keep you going. If you want the full experience, this is the one.

What to expect

This class is about 70 minutes (booked as a 90 minute slot) with two water breaks.

The vibe

All-levels friendly and judgement-free, with options to reduce impact (no jumping), slow it down, or take a pause whenever you need. Expect Latin rhythms, pop, and throwback bangers, with a little queer joy on top (sparkles optional, good vibes strongly recommended).

First-time tips

Arrive a little early and pick a spot where you can see me. If you miss a move, keep stepping to the beat and jump back in. Here's the secret: the front row isn't the easiest spot when you're new, a little further back lets you follow the people in front and skip the mirror confusion. Breaks allowed, dramatic hair flicks encouraged.
