We only get one body—and it deserves care. Physical fitness is essential, especially when work fills most of our day. That’s why I appreciate John Clements’ employee engagement activities like Zumba. This initiative shows genuine care by encouraging us to move, sweat, and smile and improves employee well-being.
From Hallway Moves to Dance Teams
In high school, I danced with classmates to pop and R&B hits. We practiced in hallways, slowed down choreography videos, and gradually mastered each step. Dancing gave me energy and joy. In college, I joined our department’s dance group and continued to fuel my passion.
Pandemic Pivot: Zumba at Home
In 2022, the pandemic lingered. I wanted a new routine that prioritized my health. I turned to Zumba—blending dance with fitness. With just a laptop, internet, and a yoga mat, I danced to K-pop tracks by ITZY, BTS, and NewJeans from Golfy Dance Fitness on Youtube. My fitness watch tracked my progress, and I felt proud of every calorie burned.
Zumba at Work: A Shared Rhythm
Recently, I joined my first Zumba session at John Clements. I signed up for Tuesday, prepped my gear, and headed to Van Gogh with fellow employees. Our instructor brought great energy and humor, making the session both fun and motivating. Dancing with colleagues reminded me of neighborhood Zumba sessions back home.
Wellness That Moves Us Forward
Reflecting on my journey—from hallway dances to workplace Zumba—I see how movement connects us to joy and well-being. Zumba reignited my love for dance and helped me care for my body. I’m grateful that John Clements champions employee well-being through activities that energize and engage.
