Lunch Zumba with Pawel in Sydney CBD

Office day in the city? Spend your lunch break doing something that actually wakes you up. 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 (and weirdly more productive for the rest of the afternoon). This spring and summer - Lunch Zumba is completely free when you register on Eventbrite. What is Zumba 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 proper cardio hit without staring at a clock. No dance experience needed. If you can move and follow along, you can do Zumba.  Bring a colleague, drag the one who keeps "meaning to try Zumba", and reclaim your midday. What to expect This class is  45 minutes  with one short water break, designed to fit a lunch hour with time to freshen up after. We start the music by 12:05 pm and finish by 12:50 pm. 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. First-time tips 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.  Back to your desk It's a midday class, so come as you are. Loose work clothes are fine, but you'll want proper sports shoes. And you will sweat (I guarantee it), so bringing something you can move in to change into is a good idea. Venue We dance at the  180 George Street Community Space. It's on the first floor of the plaza building, light and airy with glass on one side, wood-panelled walls, and plenty of room. The space holds up to 30 people, and we keep this class capped so there's space to move. Getting there and parking You're a five-minute walk from both  Circular Quay  and  Wynyard, so trains, ferries, light rail, and buses all drop you close by. There's lift access to Level 1. If you're driving, this is the heart of the CBD, so parking is limited and pricey. Public transport is by far the easier option at lunchtime. Accessible (mobility) parking is available within 300m. Cancellation policy If you booked a drop-in: you can cancel up to 1 day before class for a refund on Eventbrite. After that, unfortunately we can't refund you, since the spot is already held. What to bring Comfortable, supportive  shoes Clothes you can move in (a quick change at the desk works fine) Water A small towel (optional, but you'll thank yourself before your next meeting)
