Welcome to Zumba with Mariana!
I'm Mariana and currently reside in Northumberland and teach in Alnwick and Whittingham
My hometown is Rochester, New York and I have lived in the UK for 17 years! I've been a ZIN™ Member since June 2020 and absolutely love teaching Zumba classes. I also work fulltime in two other roles during the day. I am a Business Development Manager for a Southern-based Company and Manage a Hall 24/7. My Hispanic heritage has boosted my love of any Latin beat and every other genre of music. I am currently licensed to teach Zumba Basic (since June 2020) and Aqua Zumba (as of May 2021)!
Join our Zumba Tribe for a guaranteed smile & laugh or your money back! Join us and you will be joining an atmosphere of a warm and positive group of people, everyone is so welcoming. Whether you are looking to make some changes to your fitness or simply seeing a new activity, this will be for you! A Zumba Instructor is nothing without his or her students.
Hola Zumba Tribe! You are LOVED!!!
Join US for one of our *Zumba Pop Up Sessions!
Tomorrow, Friday, 30th September - St Michael's Parish Hall - NE66 1NB! For a Zumba Special - 7pm! (A one off session as the hall is free for this particular evening only - oh ahhh). Students already booked on!
At present our Wednesday class in Alnwick is getting busier. Life has been very busy but BEAUTIFUL Zumba Tribe and not everyone can make the evening in Alnwick... (We got this)!
So, something new, I am now introducing some *Zumba Pop Up Sessions... starting this Friday! Oh the mystery of where the sessions will be held! They may not be every week.. The demands of a 50 hour+ work week are hugely exciting
Keep your eyes peeled.. Hopefully those who are unable to join can call in for a session or two! *This message will also be emailed to students who are not on Social Media.
Wednesdays will remain our set evening class in Alnwick @ 7pm!
Monday (9:30am) sessions at Whittingham -A massive thank you to Karen B who has been working very, very hard behind the scenes to do some lovely marketing. So many of you spread the word about our classes and have for so long, thank you, thank you.
Please, please, please can everyone remember to book and pay in advance? Book via text please: 07860 641072 by DM or Email:
marianasantiago1980@aol.com - (no other method please).
Why Mariana, Why? There may be some information you need to know before a session - (i.e., is it a Zumba themed Fiesta?) Also, I will know who is attending for absolute certain.
Payments after 6pm are now classed as "walk in's" - the cost is £6 if no booking was made by (only text, email or DM) - the "6pm Rule." Contact me to book on to "each class" before the session and we are good to go- £5 Thank you so very much in advance. Block booking is no longer available, although credits are valid until end of use. *
**If you have read this juicy bit of information regarding payments & agree to the "6pm rule" - (text/email/ or DM the word "Hola" this very moment - see what happens....(oh a little test marketing mm hmm).**
LOVE YOU ZUMBA BEAUTIES!
Where & When are classes held?
- Monday's (at 9:30am) - Whittingham Memorial Institute
- Wednesday's (at 7pm) - Alnwick - Bailiffgate - "Costello Centre". End of the path shared with the Cookie Jar Bistro -follow path to the end towards Alnwick Castle. (Parking is best alongside Alnwick Castle when it gets too busy).
- Alnwick - Walkergate - Otherwise known as "St Michael's Parish Hall (rarely but used for extra sessions)
How do I book a Zumba class?
- Please email me: marianasantiago1980@aol.com Text: 07860 641072 DM: Via Facebook (ZinMarianaSantiago)
- Please book in advance so the cost will only be £5, payment (where a advance booking is not made), the cost is £6.00. If you wish to pay for future classes in advance you may. If you cannot attend that class this can be transferred to a future class at the moment. (Conditions Apply)!
- Forms of payment: BACS, Cash or Paypal please.
- You must complete a form (health declaration) prior to this class and book a space via email please, this should take moments but it must be returned ahead of attending classes (either live or virtual) should you agree with the document.
- Our offer of 5 bookings for £20 has ended as it was a limited offer. Do note: if have any remaining, they are absolutely valid to be used.
- A verbal booking without payment does not qualify as having booked a class.
- Attending class and paying later, please if you are struggling do let me know. I am running a business here like many others. Running a business has become harder for everyone. Zumba and hall hire fees have only gone up recently, we will get there!
Cancellations:
-Please be mindful to consider where cancellations are increasingly made on the day/evening of the class this is costly to others and myself (unless it is for a medical reason or emergency).
-Advances booking is preferred.
-Unfortunately quieter classes have been taken off the weekly listing as I am running at a loss due for those sessions.
What to bring to class and Zumba attire?
- Please bring your water bottle, phone and keys.
- Wear something comfortable (a tee-shirt and leggings or gym trousers) to move in and trainers with grip - nothing hot flashy at the moment. Hold off until MTV invite us to do a segment- you never know...
Why Zumba?
- Every class feels like a party and your fitness will reaching new heights with each session!
- Enjoy a music journey featuring international rhythms from around the world!
- High calorie burn without the realisation of it due to the party atmosphere!
- Join in the community spirit where everyone is welcome, respected and treated as Zumba Family!
- Leave feeling refreshed at the end of each class a sure boost to your mental & physical health!
- I have two left feet, is this a class for beginners?
- Beginners are absolutely welcome! The class can be modified to meet all levels! Let's get you moving and grooving, this is about fun and burning calories! Let's GO!
- Why am I required to fill in a waiver for virtual/ community hall classes?
- First, please read and see what your personal thoughts are regarding the disclaimer/waiver before participating in our online virtual Zumba® or live classes. The disclaimer allows me to know that you are fit and well in order to participate in class and in the event of an emergency (goodness forbid) I will know just who to contact. This information is kept safe and your health/safety is taken very seriously.
- In order to reduce the risk of injury, before beginning this or any exercise class, please consult a healthcare professional to be sure that you can take part at this physical activity. If at any point during your workout you begin to feel faint, dizzy or physical discomfort, you should stop immediately and consult with a doctor.
- What does a £5 class cover in terms of cost?
- All Zumba® instructor must cover quite a few things: licenses, Zumba membership fees, venue fees, online streaming costs via Zoom, insurance and music licensing. It would be illegal to run a Zumba class without any of the above or allow anyone into class without a waiver!
