Zumbini is a parent-child program designed for kids and toddlers and their parents or caregivers. The program focuses on bonding experience between kids and parents, kids and other kids, as well as parents and other parents through a mix of music and movement. Music has huge importance in every kid or toddler's life. The Zumbini classes use contemporary music with beats along with dance or movement exercises to create a fun and learning experience. Kids participating in these classes develop a sense of musicality and rhythm naturally.
  • Learning with Fun. In Zumbini classes, kids can play around, learn new skills, experience various physical activities while being exposed to various kinds of music.
  • Enhanced Bonding.

To do this, you need an activity that combines developmental milestones, body awareness, joy in movement, and a social environment. But there's only so much time in the day and you don't have time to chaffuer your child to 5 different activities to get what they need. This makes you frustrated as a parent and worried that your child will get behind their peers. We understand that most parents have the same struggle struggle which is why for the last 14 years we've developed a dance program following recommended child development standards that has helped 100s of kids develop into healthy positive children.

So you can stop worrying about how you're going to swing getting your child in five different activities and instead relax and enjoy your time watching them in a class that has all of the important milestones all rolled into one.
