From high-energy dance fitness to gentle, beginner-friendly movement, Shake Off Now offers sessions for community groups, organisations, events and live online classes.
Zumba®
Zumba® is a high-energy dance-fitness class inspired by Latin and international rhythms. Easy-to-follow choreography and upbeat music create a fun, welcoming workout that feels more like a party than exercise.
No dance experience is needed—just come ready to move, sweat and enjoy the music. Zumba® is a joyful way to build energy, lift your mood and connect with others.
Yoga
These beginner-friendly yoga sessions offer a gentle introduction to movement, breathing and relaxation. We explore foundational Hatha Yoga postures, mindful breathing and accessible stretches to build strength, flexibility and balance at your own pace.
There is no pressure to keep up. You will be encouraged to listen to your body and enjoy a supportive space to move and unwind. Please bring your own yoga mat.
Zumba Gold®
Zumba Gold® is a lower-impact, easy-to-follow version of Zumba®, designed for active older adults, beginners and people looking for a gentler way to move. It keeps the music, fun and community of Zumba®, with a pace and movement options designed to feel more comfortable on the joints.
No experience is needed—just a willingness to move, smile and enjoy the rhythm. Sessions can support confidence, coordination and connection in a welcoming group setting.

Where we've shaken it off ♫
Over the years, I have had amazing opportunities to deliver classes and workshops with community organisations, NGOs and at local events, tailoring each session to the group and setting, whether it calls for energetic dance fitness or gentler movement.
My experiences includes collaborations with Hair Together, An Taisce, Smart D8, The Liberties Community Project, AkiDwA, The Liberties Festival, and St. Patrick's Cathedral Grammar School.
Hi, I’m Gita Cherry, the instructor behind Shake Off Now. I teach Zumba®, Zumba Gold® and beginner-friendly yoga, bringing welcoming movement sessions to groups, organisations and events across Dublin.
I believe a great class helps people feel at ease from the moment they arrive. Whether we’re dancing to upbeat music or slowing down for mindful movement, I aim to make each session enjoyable, approachable and adaptable to the people in the room.
Movement and music have been part of my life since childhood, from ballet, baton twirling and jazz to traditional Indonesian dance. I discovered yoga in college and later fell in love with Zumba® at my first class. I completed my very first Zumba® instructor training in 2013 and a 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training in 2018. Zumba Gold® is especially close to my heart as I was inspired by my elderly aunties and late grand mothers to offer a gentler, joyful way to dance together.
I’m also qualified and licensed to teach Zumba® Toning, Zumba Gold® Toning, Zumba® Kids and Kids Jr., Zumba + Lift™, and STRONG Nation™. My wider group-fitness training includes Barre and kettlebell-based workouts. Today, I adapt the energy, pace and level of a session to help each group feel comfortable taking part—whether I’m leading an energetic class, a gentler movement session or a beginner-friendly yoga workshop.
I have been an ACE Certified Group Fitness Instructor since 2020. I maintain current CPR and First Aid training and hold public liability and professional indemnity insurance for my work.
