I'm going to try it tonight at my gym and I wanted to know what to expect.

A lot of people love it and swear by it...I have no rhythm and feel like a beached wale when I do it. LOL.

I have and love it. I cant dance and have 2 left feet but I get out there and move and shake and usually burn 500-600 calories in an hour and have a blast doing it!

You can go on youtube and find Zumba videos from other instructors across the nation. I have tried a couple and it's really cool and works you out.

I have tried both the DVDs and I have taken a class at my school's Rec Center. It is a LOT of fun so it makes you want to work out =] Unfortunately, it always makes my calves tighten up because it is a lot of twisting and stepping, but that's just me.

Its a great way to get cardio in =]

I'm a zumba addict!

If you're having issues "sticking" it just means that you're not using the proper shoes. I know it's not practical to buy a separate pair of dance shoes, but consider a shoe you have in your closet that isn't so grippy. I had the same issue with my knees and joints hurting after because my shoes were too grippy. I switched to a different brand of gym shoe and my problem was solved.

Hope you love zumba as much as I do!

I love zumba! I used to dance multiple times a week when I was younger so it brings me back to those days. It's Latin inspired. If you are worried about being coordinated, go to the side of back of the room and just make sure you keep moving so you can burn those calories!
