Zumba dance party in the National Stadium
Singapore, 17 September 2016 – The largest Experience Sports Zumba workout was held within the National
Stadium during the second edition of the Sports Hub Community Play Day. 3248 participants ranging from
children to seniors, led by 66 instructors, Zumba-ed their way to this milestone feat, which was kicked off by Mr
Tan Chuan-Jin, Minister for Social and Family Development.
The second milestone can be counted in steps; 1.3 million (as of 12 noon) – the most number to date – taken
during the Sports Hub Stepper Challenge by participants who snaked through the aisles of the seats within the
National Stadium to achieve this record.
An estimated 15,000 people are expected to take part in more than 20 activities across the 9 activity zones under
the canopy of the world’s largest free-spanning dome during the full day event, comprising free sports try-outs,
fitness workouts, fun competitions and kids activities. Activity highlights during the day include the PAssion
Children’s Football Carnival, Singapore Slingers training session at the indoor basketball court specially installed
for the event, ActiveSG clinics and meet and greet sessions with members of the National Water Polo team,
Singapore National Football Team as well as the Singapore Slingers basketballers.
“This edition of the quarterly Sports Hub Community Play Day has brought families and friends together for a
unique experience in the National Stadium. In addition to achieving two milestones – for the largest Zumba
workout in the National Stadium and more than a million steps during the Sports Hub Community Fun Stepper –
participants have been able to meet national athletes, play traditional games, and even try out new sports like
speedminton. This success is possible through the collaborations we have developed with partners from private
and public sectors as Sports Hub develops into a truly integrated sports, entertainment and lifestyle hub for
everyone,” said Mr Oon Jin Teik, Chief Operating Officer, Singapore Sports Hub.
The Sports Hub Community Play Day is supported by Sport Singapore (SportSG), People’s Association (PA),
National Population and Talent Division (NPTD), Health Promotion Board (HPB), NTUC U Sports, Football
Association of Singapore (FAS) and Singapore Slingers.
