Zumba-tastic

CONGRATULATIONS to everyone who took part in the Zumba World Record Challenge - we are thrilled and delighted to annouce that 3,302 people took part in the event, surpassing the current World Record figure for the World's largest Zumba class. We are now excitedly awaiting official verification - watch this space for more photos of the event...!   

What an amazing start to our Olympic and Paralympic event. International visitors have arrived and are settling in well with hosts who were keen to extend a warm welcome.

Yesterday saw a phenomenal piece of history unfold as the World Record for the largest Zumba class was thrashed by our enthusiastic team of primary school children, Brigshaw students and staff, international visitors and members of the community. We are awaiting verification that we have taken the new world record with 3,302 people involved.

We are looking forward many more exciting events this week which include activities in primary schools, a civic reception and student-led tour of the city of Leeds our Olympic and Paralympic Games, a community Gala Day on Saturday and the Breeze celebrations when the Torch visits Leeds and Temple Newsam.
