| 1. What is Zumba? |
Zumba
is a combination of Latin Music, Fun and Fitness. It is the most fun you
will ever have working out!!!
|
Zumba is a
fun and effective workout that combines International and Latin rhythms such as
salsa, merengue, cumbia, reggeaton, flamenco, belly dancing and hip-hop. It’s the new way to workout. It’s high intensity low impact
that burns up to 700 calories per hour. It’s not a workout, it’s a Party!!!!
|
| 2. What do I wear to Zumba? |
Whatever you are comfortable in, tennis
shoes, shorts, sweats. You usually end up getting pretty
warm!
|
I like to wear comfortable
but stylish clothes to Zumba. It’s all about the style, feeling comfortable and
“sexy” It’s important to wear a good supportive shoe, preferably dance sneakers.
|
| 3.When do the classes start? |
You
can begin taking them whenever you want.
The moves and songs are repetitive.

Sundays at 1:00 PM

class!

wiggling, hip shaking, and drip sweating fun while getting the best aerobic
workout!
|
| 5.What if I'm not coordinated and I can't dance? |
Zumba
is not a dance class. It is a
fitness class which utilizes latin
music and movement. The format is
very informal and we always say “If you don’t get a step or can’t do a
certain step just wiggle and smile!!!”
All the movements are easy to follow and we cue you before the step
so you know it is coming. The more
you come the more familiar it becomes
|
The songs
have basic movements that are repeated throughout the routine and throughout
the songs. Songs are repeated in classes
so you will get it and if you get lost, just wiggle and smile!!!!
|
| 6.What if I'm out of shape and I can't keep up? |
This
is the perfect class!! You can make the movements high impact or low, big
or small. You will see participants
of all sizes, shapes and ages!!!
You will have so much fun before you know it the hour will be over
and you’ll be saying “ I cannot believe I just worked out for a hour!!!!”
|
Zumba is
low impact and you work at your own pace. It is an interval workout, it combines
high-energy songs with slow paced songs. This type of aerobic exercise has been
proven to work better for fat burning. The main focus is keep on moving!

is a wide variety!! I would say

Grandmas, and don’t forget the guys!!
It is one of the few classes where generation gaps are
bridged!! Mothers and daughters
come together!! We also have
individuals who have never done group exercise standing next to
experienced dancers. It is a
wonderful mix of individuals that make up a great diverse zumba family!!
