Teenagers are welcome to participate in the class alongside their parent/guardian, however, this class is not suitable for children 12 and under. Find out more here.

Zumba GOLD Fitness vs Council's GOLD Program: Please note that Zumba Gold Fitness is one of the class formats offered by ZUMBA (Aqua Zumba is another class format, for example). Brisbane City Council’s program for seniors is also called GOLD (Growing Old & Living Dangerously). Confusingly, they both have GOLD in them, however, they are completely separate from each other. Find out more in my blog post here.
