Instructor: Ms. Bailey

Room: Thunderdome/Dance Studio

COURSE DESCRIPTION: ZUMBA is a Latin-inspired dance-fitness class that incorporates Latin and International

music and dance movements, creating a dynamic, exciting, exhilarating and effective fitness system.

Zumba combines fast and slow rhythms that tone and sculpt the body using an aerobic/fitness

approach to achieve a unique blended balance of cardio and muscle-toning benefits

PHILOSOPHY:

As a Fitness and Wellness instructor, I believe every student is entitled to a quality, positive learning experience and atmosphere in their fitness and wellness class. Students will be provided with a basic understanding of exercise and how cardiovascular conditioning can occur. Students will become aware of their own bodies responses during exercise and develop an understanding of what exercises to avoid and why.

To make sure each student has a positive experience, they must be in class and participate. There are several regulations, rules, and policies that each student will need to adhere to so I can provide every student their opportunity and right to learn in a positive and safe environment. I will provide sessions where the students can improve their overall fitness level and have fun doing it.

PARTICIPATION/DRESSING DOWN

1. Do to the nature of a Physical Education class-all students will “dress down” and participate every class period, because of monitoring, safety, and liability.

“Dress Down” - each student will need to have the following physical education clothing on a daily basis:

(1) Clean court shoes

(2) Crewneck/sleeve T-Shirt. No Tank tops

(3) Physical education shorts - appropriate length. The schools dress code will be enforced.

(4) Clean Socks.

(5) Sweatshirt & Sweatpants. (For cool, damp weather conditions)

2. All students will participate unless participation is “limited” by a written physician’s excuse. “Limited” means: students will be required to dress down and participate with accommodations to their condition of illness or injury. PARENTS WRITTEN REQUEST FOR NON-DRESS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED. Parents are requested to contact the teacher by phone prior to the start of the school day.

3. Every effort will be made to have every student dress down and participate every day. If available, we will offer clean PE clothing for the student to use on a temporary basis. Students that refuse to dress down will have a conference with their teacher and will contact a guardian/parent. If the student still refuses to dress down he/she is subject to the following discipline options exercised at Coach Bailey’s discretion.

  • Participation in school clothes
  • Garbage patrol
  • Weight Room cleanup
