GOMBAK, 25th December 2024: In an effort to promote wellness and a stress-free environment, the Mahallah Representative Committee (MRC) of Mahallah Safiyyah organised a weekly Zumba session for its residents. Zumba Beatdown: Dance Your Stress Away was held every Saturday from 5:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., aiming to boost the spirit of the Mahallah Safiyyah community amidst the hectic academic weeks.
Each one-hour session was packed with energetic songs and catchy dance routines to uplift the students’ mood. The instructors were the members of MRC themselves as they took time to prepare and memorise the choreographies to provide a smooth flow for each session. The dance moves taken from YouTube videos were also modified to ensure that they were easy to follow for the students.

The session began with a warm-up routine that required fewer body movements, and then gradually shifted to more upbeat music and dances. Among the songs used were Kelentang Kelentong, Casablanca, Let’s Get Loud, and Goyang. The famous Chicken Dance song was also used to wrap up the session and allow participants to cool down after the intense workout.

One of the participants shared her feedback on the session, saying, “It was fun although some of the songs are too slow.” Aside from that, she expressed that it was a good idea that free snacks and drinks were provided in each session which attracted many to join.
