FAQs

• Why we're obsessed with Zumba

  We’re all about showing that fitness doesn’t have to be boring—Zumba brings the fun, energy, and variety every time you hit the dance floor. This event celebrates wellbeing, good vibes, and making uni life more active, balanced, and social.

• Partied with us at Zumba before?

  If you’ve partied with us before... get ready - this year’s bringing a whole new level of epic!

• What do I wear?

  We recommend comfy, workout clothing for you to move and groove to the beat of Zumba. Closed-toe shoes are a must so you can move safely with us throughout the night. We encourage everyone to dress bright wearing a touch of white to glow under the UV lights!

• Do I have to stay all night? Are there any breaks?

  Totally your call! Come for the whole party or drop in for a dance, whatever works for you. Doors open at 6pm with plenty to explore before we hit the dance floor. The main Zumba session will run for 60 minutes this year, allowing for an energetic, uninterrupted experience from start to finish. You're always welcome to move at your own pace, with plenty of opportunities to modify movements and take a break whenever you need.
