The Rotary Club of Nagpur, in association with Zin Manish Gohil from Mumbai, organized an inspiring Zumba Dance Program aimed at supporting and motivating specially-abled children in sports. The event was held at Mankapur Indoor Stadium, Nagpur, and saw a remarkable participation of 812 specially-abled students, including those who are intellectually disabled, blind, deaf and mute, physically handicapped, and multiply disabled.
Under the expert guidance of Zumba instructors and special educators, the participants performed a continuous 60-minute Zumba exercise-cum-dance session. Their enthusiastic performance not only highlighted their spirit and determination but also fostered inclusion and awareness about the capabilities of differently-abled individuals.
Supported by the Department of Social Welfare, Government of Maharashtra, this event successfully set a new World Record for the largest Zumba dance session by specially-abled students at a single venue.
This landmark initiative reinforced the importance of sports and physical activity as a tool for empowerment, confidence-building, and social integration for specially-abled children across India.
