When you meet Grandma Shellie, you’ll meet an ageless woman who vibrates with a passion for life, teaching and learning.

Dr. Shellie teaches ZUMBA GOLD classes to seniors 55+ and to Parkinsonians, FL and NY.

Her very exciting and energizing classes often exceed 50 participants, who leave the class wanting more. The participants become addicted to the fun, the music and to the feeling of wellbeing they experience after taking a ZUMBA GOLD class. Her philosophy is, ‘if you’re still breathing, you can dance’.

One of the projects that was very important to her was  leading ZUMBA GOLD classes for the American Parkinson Disease Association (APDA), South Florida Chapter, at their monthly support group meetings throughout Florida. The Parkinsonians, their caregivers and Shellie always have a wonderful time dancing ZUMBA together. The exercise is preceded with a short talk before each class on some of the most current research about the benefits of DANCING and HEALTH, the best exercise for anyone suffering from a neurological condition.

As a result of her commitment to share the message to the world about the benefits of DANCING, Shellie now lectures throughout Florida and New York on the topic: DANCE AS IF YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT and she includes the benefits of ZUMBA FITNESS classes. The activities Shellie weaves into her practice, empower her clients to create a life filled with wellness, fun and adventure.

ZUMBA GOLD  is dance-aerobics using Latin American music and steps from Merengue, Salsa, Cha Cha, Cumbia, Calypso, Mambo, Belly Dance and even some Rock and Roll. ZUMBA FITNESS classes are usually high impact and fast-paced with intricate steps in a choreographed routine that include some jumping.

ZUMBA GOLD classes, on the other hand, are specifically designed to address the needs of the active older adult, 55+  and the beginner ZUMBA dancer and those with physical limitations and those who HATE TO EXERCISE.The pace is slower, more repetition and instruction using the same music.

ZUMBA GOLD is designed to teach basic steps of all the dances, improve balance, improve mind/body coordination, increase cardiovascular activity, just to mention some of the benefits, with easy-to-follow instructions that anyone at any age can do, even those requiring chairs or wheelchairs.

Shellie encourages you to hear and feel the music, one of the most important parts of the class. When you feel the music and visualize yourself dancing the steps,sitting or standing, you’re dancing ZUMBA.

ZUMBA GOLD is a party like atmosphere. It’s fun, different, easy and effective and it’s great for the mind, body and soul.

DITCH THE WORKOUT! LET’S ZUMBA, BABY!!
