New Program Enhances Learning Practices to Positively Impact Students' Academic and Physical Well-being
MIAMI, FL / ACCESSWIRE / June 10, 2024 / Zumba®, the world's leading dance fitness program, announced today the launch of Zumba 4 Education™, a program designed to enhance cognitive development, improve focus, and make learning a truly immersive experience.
The program is grounded in the power of Zumba's award-winning music and over two decades of leading the fitness industry in movement that promotes physical and mental health benefits. From here, Zumba partnered with Chris Simmonds, the Principal of CARE Elementary School in Miami known for its innovative education practices, utilizing his 20+ years of experience as an educator to infuse classroom curriculum in an engaging way. This collaboration accelerates student mastery of content and concepts aligned with curriculum standards while fostering an interactive and energetic classroom environment between teachers and students.
"For decades we have successfully taught Zumba® Kids in schools around the US," shared Zumba Chief Subscription Officer Yael Dornbusch. "Creating Zumba 4 Education™ was an obvious opportunity in merging two of our strengths - music and movement- to be able to give back to the educational community."
Chris Simmonds added: "It is imperative for school administrators to invest in the health and well-being of their instructional staff. Zumba 4 Education™ is a transformative tool that energizes and motivates teachers, creating more interactive, engaging, and meaningful instruction to their students! A win for the entire school!"
Schools can easily participate in the Zumba 4 Education™ program by booking professional development sessions designed to equip administrators and educators with the tools and techniques to implement the program effectively. Endorsed by educators, Zumba 4 Education is available with Title II funding, making it accessible to schools nationwide. Upon completion of the session, schools receive access to a catalog of music and videos that educators and kids can follow in class.
