Have any of you tried zumba?

i teach Zumba and it is a blast. i am a little more fitnessy than dancey. i teach 4 to 5 times a week and usually burn about 500 calories per class......so participants probably burn more......my body is pretty used to the workout because i've taught for 2 years. i mix it up a lot so the class never gets bored. We have so much fun we don't feel like it is exercise, except for all the sweat. i always tell participants to just get one body part at a time.......get your legs moving and then add in arms. Don't worry about how you look.....i say as long as you are moving that is GREAT!! Each instructor is different, so if you didn't like one class, don't give up, try another one. i also teach Zumba Toning which is Zumba with toning sticks. i try to do a full body workout each class.......however it toning i tend to focus on either legs or arms and always abs!!
