Women Who Train: Bounce with Natalia 2026

Women Who Train: Bounce with Natalia is a women-only trampoline workout in Dubai on Monday 30 November 2026 at 7:30pm, held at British Dance Academy in Dubai Science Park. It is the last Women Who Train session of November for the Women Who Thrive community, and it swaps weights and treadmills for individual mini trampolines, music and a room full of women bouncing in time.

What a bounce class actually involves

Each participant works on her own mini trampoline. Natalia leads the group through choreographed bounce routines set to music, with toning moves mixed in between the jumping sequences, so the hour alternates between cardio bursts and slower, controlled work for the legs, core and arms. The springy surface absorbs much of the impact that running or high-intensity floor classes put through the knees and ankles, which is why bounce is often described as low-impact on the joints while still raising the heart rate quickly.

The result feels closer to play than a gym class. Routines are repeated and built up gradually, so even if the first run-through feels chaotic, most people find their rhythm by the second or third song. All fitness levels are welcome.

Meet the instructor

Natalia takes this session for Women Who Train, the fitness strand of Women Who Thrive. Her class is choreography led, so the focus is on following the routine and keeping the bounce going rather than on counting reps. Because the routines are taught to the whole group at once, the session works well for women who enjoy dance-style fitness but have never tried a trampoline before.

Why it is at a dance academy

British Dance Academy in Dubai Science Park gives the class a studio setting with space for a row of trampolines and a sound system that suits music-driven training. It is a different backdrop from the community’s other November fitness sessions, which moved from aerial silks at Pole Fit Dubai in Dubai Marina on 11 November to step dancing with Leti at The Grand Dance Academy on 12 November, before finishing with reformer Pilates and contrast therapy on 29 November and this bounce class the following evening.

How it fits the Women Who Thrive calendar

Women Who Thrive is a women-led community founded in Dubai by Sue and Achasah and running for around five years. Its monthly programme is built around pillars, with Women Who Train covering fitness alongside strands for money, creativity, self-care, conversation, networking and career growth, and nutrition woven through. Members choose which sessions to attend rather than committing to all of them, so a single class like this can be a first taste of the community or one stop in a busy month.

The community has been featured by Time Out Dubai and Savoir Flair, and earned a place on the Ahlan Hot 100 in 2026. Its focus is on building real friendships among women in Dubai, which is why sessions like bounce are designed to be sociable as well as energetic.

What to bring and wear

Supportive trainers are the most important thing on a trampoline, together with fitted workout clothes that will not ride up while you jump. Bring water and a towel, as the class is a proper sweat despite the playful feel.

Who it suits

• women looking for a cardio class that is gentler on the joints
• dance fitness fans keen to try something new
• newcomers to Dubai who want to exercise and meet people at the same time
• Women Who Thrive members wanting to end the month on a high
