Ok ,I have been taking Zumba lessons for the last month and I don't want to stop :)
Zumba is like an erobic exersice with latin music , some hip hip , regatone , india music , some belly dance elements , and it is like dancing in lines of people.
I love it so much , this is so fun , it's only 60 minuts of intensive line dances and you have a taste for more. You can see some Zumba videos at youtube just by typing "zumba".
It also has some advantages for people who like dancing : you learn how to move like a wave and not like a wood . You learn how to move the hips , belly , you feel the joy of dancing and your smile keeps being on.
I personally take zumba lessons to improve my dancing skills for the salsa that I love so much.
What do you know about Zumba , tell me what you think about it.

I took a few classes of Zumba where I usually take dance classes but I stopped going after a while because other things came up, rehearsals for a play, and when I went back they had cancelled the class. But the classes were fun and very upbeat. It's very fun because they use a lot of the music that I grew up with. I'm hoping that they bring back the classes so that I can take them again.

Maybe one of the reasons for cancelling the classes is that not enaugh people came so the coach couldn't pay the monthly rent price.
There is a high chance that this coach or teacher has a facebook page for his zumba classes and probabely he moved somewhere else but not too far so you can still contact him and ask where you can take the classes.
Now when I have an iphone with a nice built in camera , I will be able to record some zumba line dances and upload them to facebook if I'm allowed by the people in the video.
The zumba also opened my mind to the belly dance that is not really latin but is the very sexy and tempting dance. The dancer moves like a cobra snake with the belly and shoulders , doing many hip moves from side to side.

I actually asked them when I went back to buy some more classes why was it cancelled and they explained to me. I go to a University that is around there and they usually rent out the studios rooms for the dance classes that take place in the University. Since not many people were going for the Zumba class, everytime I went to that class it was only two or three more people besides me, so the University needed another room and since it didn't have that many students I guess that was the first class to go.
So in a way yeah but I'm going to really miss it because it was fun. I'm hoping to save some money so I can take some more classes because I feel so lazy when I'm not taking these classes. I would like to take belly dance so I'm going to look into that as well.

Belly dance is very challenging and it's maybe the most sexy dance in my opinion.
There are some guide videos at youtube for belly dance basic steps.
I hope more people will come to the zumba class so the fun will come back again.
Maybe there are zumba classes at the local gym at your neighbourhood ?

I'm actually Zumba teacher and I love to teach and do Zumba. It's indeed great exercise and dance to lovely music. You get to move and have fun while you're actually maintaining your body fitness. I love Salsa, Cumbia, Merengue, Hip Hop, all sorts of styles really. The classes I teach are usually quite full and so apparently many people got the hang of it. It's great to read that people all over the world experience the same sort of fun every week or even more than once a week in their Zumba classes.
I love dance, I love fitness, I love to move and I love to make people move and see that smile appear on their face as they do so. Life's a party like this!

Wow , that's nice to know :)
My zumba class teacher is a girl with a curly hair and I think she is hyperactive , so it's very good to learn a zumba class with her because she encaurages us to jump more intensively , moving between us , shouts "wwoooowww!!" and then come times she turns down the volume and expect us to shout like her. This is so funny because i'm the only guy in the class and i'm the only one who shouts and the girls start laughing.
The fun is the best thing in the zumba and it keeps me stay at it.
It comes with the teacher's personality.

Why buying a cd ? you can watch some videos on youtube and you can also go to the Zumba class , and work slower , don't be too hard on yourself. It will become easier in time. You can also ask the coach to explain more how to move and he will probabely explain. He wants to keep you coming to his class and enjoy.
