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)!
I welcome any corporate or event bookings, most recently warmed up 2.5k Hikers for the Northumberland Mighty Hike over non-stop intervals of 2.5 hours. Get in touch: marianasantiago1980@aol.com
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.
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 - Mariana Gabriela Santiago
- Simply system, book (via the methods above) and pay £5 electronically. Electronic pre-payments will close an hour before a session and the cost becomes £6 on the door.
- With Zumba love, a verbal booking in passing or commenting on a Facebook post (to say you will be there) gives me an indication of who will be there however, does not qualify as a booking.
- Attending class and paying later continues to happen, let's try and reduce this.
- 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!
- 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.
- 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.
Pre-class Registration (Help, I'm new where do I begin)?
- You MUST complete a form (health declaration) prior to class by arriving ten minutes early and booking a space (07860 641072) and pay in advance for the session.
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.
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!
