Zumbini - Zumbini w/ Caregiver
WHAT IS ZUMBINI:
Zumbini is an early childhood education program for children ages 0-5. Created by Zumba and BabyFirst, our program uses music and movement to promote cognitive, social, emotional, and motor skill development for the children, all while creating the ultimate bonding experience for them and their caregivers. During this 45-minute session, we will use Latin-Fusion music to explore elements of dance and music. Each child will have access to instruments such as Bongos, Boom Whackers, Rhythm Sticks, and Scarves!
YOUR ZUMBINI INSTRUCTOR:
Your instructor for this session will be Michelle Lirange. Michelle has worked in both Early Childhood and Education throughout her life. Most recently she worked for the Worcester Public Schools as a Wraparound Coordinator. After having her son, she realized the need for opportunities for her young child to play, explore, and engage with not only her but other children. Zumbini is the perfect opportunity for both, so she took the time to become a certified Zumbini Instructor. She is excited to lead this class!

Zumbini - Zumbini w/ Caregiver
WHAT IS ZUMBINI:
Zumbini is an early childhood education program for children ages 0-5. Created by Zumba and BabyFirst, our program uses music and movement to promote cognitive, social, emotional, and motor skill development for the children, all while creating the ultimate bonding experience for them and their caregivers. During this 45-minute session, we will use Latin-Fusion music to explore elements of dance and music. Each child will have access to instruments such as Bongos, Boom Whackers, Rhythm Sticks, and Scarves!
YOUR ZUMBINI INSTRUCTOR:
Your instructor for this session will be Michelle Lirange. Michelle has worked in both Early Childhood and Education throughout her life. Most recently she worked for the Worcester Public Schools as a Wraparound Coordinator. After having her son, she realized the need for opportunities for her young child to play, explore, and engage with not only her but other children. Zumbini is the perfect opportunity for both, so she took the time to become a certified Zumbini Instructor. She is excited to lead this class!

Fun World Language Academy Spanish Classes - Spanish Class (Grades 1-3)
Spanish Language Culture for ChildrenJoin us for an exciting and interactive program designed to introduce young children to the Spanish language! Learning a second language at an early age is not only incredibly beneficial but also easy and enjoyable—so much so that kids won’t even realize how much they’re absorbing. Through crafts, games, songs, and conversations with our experienced teacher, students will explore the basics of Spanish in a fun and supportive environment. They’ll learn everyday vocabulary related to family, pets, food, numbers, and more. As part of the program, children will also craft their own cultural “passport” and discover fascinating facts about the vibrant cultures that speak this beautiful language.Spanish for AdultsSpanish is a vibrant and widely spoken Romance language with over 500 million native speakers worldwide. This Spanish for Adults class is designed to help learners develop or improve their proficiency in Spanish, focusing on communication skills for everyday situations. The course covers the four key language skills: speaking, listening, reading, and writing.- The course structure includes interactive exercises, role-playing, and conversations to boost confidence in speaking and comprehension.- Although mainly designed for beginners, this fun and interactive class will be largely customized to meet the interest and levels of the students who sign up. Our goal at Fun World Language Academy is to help students on their journey to proficiency while also making learning engaging and fun, in order to aid motivation for continued language acquisition success.- Becoming bilingual at any age has many benefits for your brain health, makes travel more rewarding, deepens your understanding of art, and increases awareness of different cultures.

Spanish Language Culture for ChildrenJoin us for an exciting and interactive program designed to introduce young children to the Spanish language! Learning a second language at an early age is not only incredibly beneficial but also easy and enjoyable—so much so that kids won’t even realize how much they’re absorbing. Through crafts, games, songs, and conversations with our experienced teacher, students will explore the basics of Spanish in a fun and supportive environment. They’ll learn everyday vocabulary related to family, pets, food, numbers, and more. As part of the program, children will also craft their own cultural “passport” and discover fascinating facts about the vibrant cultures that speak this beautiful language.Spanish for AdultsSpanish is a vibrant and widely spoken Romance language with over 500 million native speakers worldwide.
