You’ll march to merengue. You’ll twerk to reggaeton. You’ll salsa to some Marc Anthony. You may even do a little gwara gwara to Afrobeat. Regardless of the playlist, you’ll grin while you sweat.

You can find payment info on the instructor bios.
Not quite. Many gyms actually offer guest passes or drop-in class passes but don’t make it commonly known. Facilities like YMCA offer day passes that start around $10/day. Fee info will be listed on the class calendar.
Many facilities have age requirements. Typically, minimum class age is 12 unless accompanied by an adult. Some gyms offer childcare (like the YMCA). At this time, our instructors do not teach Family Zumba, Zumba Kids, or Zumbini. That said, children aren’t prohibited from attending.
Bear in mind:
- Music is often very loud in Zumba. If your children are unable to attend childcare options, we recommend packing some headphones for them to protect their ears.
- Sometimes classes can be crowded, which makes for tight space. Kids often don’t have as developed spatial awareness and sometimes can get underfoot.
- Some more “adult” music can be used in class.
Feel free to reach out to us if you have specific questions.
In 2019, several of us from the Lancaster YMCA attended the annual Zumba Instructor Network conference in Orlando, FL. We came up with the name TT&WP as an homage to our Central PA roots and our various body shapes as a hashtag to chronicle our adventures on social media.
The name stuck.
NO! You do NOT have to be a dancer. You can have two left feet, go the wrong way, and make ALL THE MISTAKES. No one is here to be a Rockette. We dance to move our bodies and have a good time, and TT&WP instructors make it our mission to create a safe, comfortable place to BE YOURSELF.
Because we each teach at different facilities, we each have different answers to this question. If you’d like to take a class for a spin, contact us! We want you to feel comfortable, and we’re happy to find a solution that works for you.
