    Definitely fun but I noticed I don't burn as much calories as I would like to. Not my first choice. Still would recommend it though bc it really doesn't feel like you're working out. Time flies by :)

    I would say it really depends on the instructor. I really like the one that teaches here on Wednesday night, but tried the Saturday one and hated it. The Wednesday instructor provides really good visual cues, and dances along most of the class, other than moving around once in a while to check on the back of the class. The Saturday one seemed to expect that everyone was a regular and would know what to do. Since she has back to back classes, and she's not very fit, she only demonstrates the step once and that's it. Not good for a newbie at all. She also had a different style completely, and I didn't burn nearly as many calories.

    I usually burn 500-600 calories per my HRM in a 60 minute class.
