Special take on zumba

SHERYL is not your average zumba instructor, with the dance enthusiast often shaking her tail feather for a good cause.
Sheryl and members from her zumba class are often seen dancing in the streets to raise funds for local charities, and these holidays she has her music pointed at kids who love to move.
After being inspired by her son, Sheryl has decided to hold a free zumba session for kids with special needs and their siblings at the Noosa Leisure Centre these coming holidays.
Sheryl said she had instructed zumba at her son Ben’s school previously and said the kids always enjoyed it.
“My eldest son has mild autism, so I am fortunate enough to be around kids with special needs and love working with them,” she said.
“I wanted to offer a free class to kids with special needs so they have something fun to look forward to in the holidays and to give the parents something that is fun for their child with no expense as costs can add up for these families.”
“I have a few of my regular zumba goers coming along to help the kids with the steps and we are all looking forward to seeing the smiles on the kids’ faces.”
Sheryl said it wasn’t important whether the children followed the moves or not and that she just wanted them to enjoy themselves and “be inspired to move to music”.
The zumba class will be held at the Noosa Leisure Centre on Tuesday 5 April from 10am, and bookings are essential. For more information or to book your place, contact Sheryl at sheryl@zumbawithsheryl.com.
