Just Jhoom!
Just Jhoom! Just Dance! is a fusion of Bollywood and Bhangra beats - to get you fit, looking fab and having fun!

Inspired by the glitz and the glamour of Bollywood films, Just Jhoom! is the first and only accredited Bollywood dance-fitness programme in the UK. Bored of the gym? Want something fun and inspiring? Then Just Jhoom! may be just the thing! Using Indian dance moves, Bollywood music and strengthening exercises we’ll make sure you get a really good workout without even realising that you are working out!

Masala Bhangra
The Masala Bhangra Workout® is an exercise dance routine that modernizes the high-energy folk dance of Bhangra by blending traditional Bhangra dance steps and the exhilaration of Bollywood (Hindi film) moves, seen recently in the Oscar-winning film Slumdog Millionaire! This unique dance mixes cardiovascular with fun, and is suitable for participants of all ages and fitness levels. Masala Bhangra® is an ACE and AFAA approved fitness program and devised by Sarina Jain, the "Jane Fonda of India."

All classes will take place within the hotel.

You'll be dancing with some of the UK's best known instructors, all of whom carry the official Just Jhoom or Masala Bhangra Fitness qualification as well as qualifications in Zumba, Burlesque and Salsa and have many years' experience in dance and fitness instruction.

Your teachers and hosts in Bournemouth will be George Martini and Irem Luqman.

George Martini George teaches and hosts on all of our UK dance and fitness breaks and is qualified in Zumba, Aqua Zumba, Zumbatomic, Masala Bhangra and more and runs his own company providing salsa classes for school children. George has always been passionate about Latin dance and fitness and his infectious style has won him many fans in his hometown of Oxford and throughout the UK.

Irem Luqman says: "I have loved to dance for as long as I can remember, however, after university I settled in a job in IT and worked my way up the corporate ladder. But I couldn't keep away from my love of dance so for the last 10 years I have also worked part time, in the evenings, as a Dance and Fitness Instructor. In August 2012 I decided it was now or never and changed my career and my life to follow my dreams and my heart and I haven't looked back once. I am loving every minute of running my own dance and fitness company, BodyMind Dance, teaching all levels of Just Jhoom!, Zumba, PureStretch, Burlesque, and Pole Fitness. I started teaching Just Jhoom! In January 2012 because it ticks all the boxes for me – it's such a fun and energising way of getting fit, the music will move you and will leave you smiling and feeling positive!"

You'll be spoilt for choice with Bournemouth's variety of restaurants, from the traditional fish and chip stands on the promenade,  along with popular pasta and pizza chains and top-end dining experiences.

Bournemouth is accessible from all parts of the UK by train - check your local station for the best route to take. 

There are no particular health requirements for a dance holiday. However, you should be able to dance for at least 2 hours a day in order to be able to enjoy the classes.

Bournemouth enjoys a mild British climate and May usually sees a good deal of early summer sunshine. 

Although you can dance barefoot, we recommend that you bring comfortable gym shoes or trainers/jazz shoes for the dance classes and something more formal for the evenings. Your shoes should be comfortable and supportive. Wear lightweight cotton socks to avoid sweaty and blistered feet during the dance sessions, with loose and comfortable clothing for the classes. Feel free to glam it up Indian style in the evenings and be part of the Bollywood theme!
