Saturday's open day was supposed to run four sessions. It ran seven, because nobody would leave. Our Zumba crew led back-to-back fitness dance hours while trial batches cycled through hip-hop, salsa and tap tasters next door.
The format was simple: forty minutes of movement, ten minutes of water and questions, then the next wave. Coaches counted at least ninety first-time dancers through the door — and by the final session, a third of them were doing the full routine without watching the stage.
Open days run on the first Saturday of every month and are free. Bring a friend, wear shoes you can move in, and expect to stay longer than you planned.
