About...Claire Waughman

Hi! Welcome to my website.

I have always been enthusiastic about exercise since I was little; as soon as I could walk there was no stopping me, I would excitedly run everywhere! As a child I wanted to be a dancer or a gymnast. I studied ballet for 10 years which I loved, there is something so beautiful and graceful about a ballet and I loved the structure and discipline of the dance. I also enjoyed gymnastics and trampolining; I competed in trampolining for a year which was fantastic.

My passion is dancing, I love salsa and Latin dancing, I started 12 years ago and I have been hooked ever since. When I found Zumba I knew I had to teach it. Zumba is a Latin inspired aerobic dance workout featuring salsa, merrengue, reggeaton and more and it is so much fun! I was the first instructor to bring it to the area.

I love teaching my classes, there are lots of cheeky shimmies and hip wiggling and laughing in my classes, you will have so much fun you will forget you came to exercise. You can find me in Bexhill, St Leonards-on-Sea and Hastings, go to the Zumba fitness page for more details.

I love being active; running is another passion of mine, one of my goals is to run the Paris marathon. I love Paris it is my favourite city. I holidayed there in 2008 and packed my trainers so I could go running every morning, crazy I know! I ran round the Jardin des Tuileries which runs between Louvre and Place de la Concorde, it is beautiful.

I also enjoy off road mountain biking, my partner Ben loves downhill racing so he really got me in to it. One of my favourite trails is around Bewl Water as it is so stunning and peaceful. There are some great hills there too and my competitive edge makes me challenge a race to the top every time! Going out in the fresh air and exercising is how I like to unwind and relax. My favourite pastime is going on country walks every weekend with my partner.
