What was the situation?
AL came to the zumba class. He was the only male in the class and felt nervous at first. He was quiet in the first couple of lessons. He hasn’t had any Zumba experience.
What was the intervention?
We all made him feel very welcome, he enjoys the music, so we encourage him to sing along. His confidence in the class has grown. I kept the routines the same for a few weeks so that he can get to know them and get more out of the class.
What was the outcome?
His confidence and self esteem has grown a lot. He is feeling more comfortable with the other participants and has said how much he enjoys socialising with the other attendees.
