    This makes me so excited for my first Zumba class tonight. I can't wait!

    Awesome! I hope you will post back and let us know what you thought, too!! Have fun!! :smile:

    I'm not too sure about it. It was held at the local Curves so I ended up doing Zumba and the Curves circuit. It was not as much fun as I thought it would be, not as hardcore as everyone seems to say it is, but I know the resistance training on the circuit is good for me. I went ahead and signed up for the two week trial so I will get 3 more classes in before I make my final decision. I hear 2 more gyms in the area offer Zumba so I may give them a try after this or I will get the game for my Wii and some weights for my own strength training.

    Just Do it!! It's fun and it works!! When I first started I had 2 left feet on the 10th week the right stepped out. Now I'm in the front of the room and have helped create some awesome choreography - now a few instructors are trying to encourage me to go for instructor cert.!!!

    I am afraid I might be the only dude in a zumba class. So I take cardio/kickbox class instead. :smile:

    I have two left feet and I am in the front of our sessions at work! Since I was the one who suggested getting the dvds, I wanted people to realize that none of us are professional dancers and to not all crowd in the back so no one would see them! It's a matter of going at your own pace, modifying moves that you find difficult.

    But at least you're moving!

    Just a thought, but try Zumba somewhere that ....isn't curves... from my experience, any class at curves is not nearly like the real thing you'd get at a rec center or other gym. I took a few different classes at my local curves and it was NOTHING compared to the same class at my rec center. I was told that alot of Curves has a little bit ''older'' crowd, as far as not many teens and 20 somethings. Try zumba somewhere else before you give up

    It is SO MUCH FUN!!! The best part is "there are no mistakes in Zumba"!!! And I always say if you are moving, and you are having fun, you are doing it right! :) Go with your friends, have fun
    I quite agree, there are no rules to zumba.

    The head instructor at the studio in my area is a guy. There are always guys in his class.
