Maria
Browning, a pioneer of the Aqua Zumba Fitness Program, has played an integral role in the
Zumba Fitness Educational Department, by travelling the world to perform Master
Classes, teaching Zumba Fitness specialties, and licensing new and existing
Zumba Fitness instructors. Maria has trained over 35,000 instructors worldwide,
choreographed and performed in 11 Zumba Fitness DVDs, and performed in fitness concerts alongside well known
singers such as Pitbull and Wyclef Jean.
“I am happy
to be in Goa as the place is completely relaxing and I feel like I’m breathing.
I am super excited about introducing Zumba Global Brand Ambassador and Zumba Education
Specialist. I have trained Sucheta for five years in the US and I have seen her
build up the
brand in India with such great success. I have been mentoring her for a long
time,” says Maria, who develops new programs to help instructors grow as professionals.
Sucheta
Pal is the first Indian to be the Zumba Global Brand Ambassador and has trained
3,500 Zumba instructors over four and a half years. Awarded by Zumba Miami as a
brand ambassador for Zumba in 2016, she was also chosen by Zumba International to
lead the TV series called ‘Zoom Zumba Dance Fitness Party’ (season 1 and 2).
Sucheta, who is also expanding her Zumba
Education Specialist (ZES) team to ten, has invited her mentor, Maria Browning, for the one of a kind Zumba India
tour,
teaching master classes across eight cities. “I have been travelling to Goa for
the past five years to train and for licensing across India. Zumba is
catching up in Goa and there are many trainers here, which goes to show that there are
many participants who are getting fit with Zumba,” says Sucheta.
As part
of this tour curated by Sucheta, she and Maria, along with the ten Zumba education specialists of India, will travel to Mumbai, Kochi,
Bengaluru, Goa, Ahmedabad, Gurugram, Kolkata and Pune where they will be
sharing their Zumba moves with fitness enthusiasts of India, before heading off to the Annual
Zumba Convention that is being held in Orlando, Florida in
the US, this month.
“We have
been to Mumbai, Kochi, Bangalore
and now Goa and we have four more cities to go to. In some metro cities, Zumba has been a huge buzz while Goa is
picking up pace. The place itself is very energetic and the music is
international in Goa. We are expecting at least 500 participants at the event
as there has been a lot of demand for Zumba in Goa. The session is open to all
and anyone, whether they are
instructors or attending their Zumba session, can come. There is no age limit,” says
Sucheta.
Speaking
about the music to which Maria is currently grooving her Zumba training to, she
excitedly says, “I am dancing to Bollywood music and even though I come from
South America, I am enjoying Bollywood and its music. The Zumba session in Goa
will have all the rhythms and three Zumba instructors on stage with a huge
range of music.”
