    This is the first I have ever heard of it! It sounds fantastic!!! Can you only do it at a class or do they have videos? We live in a small town that doesn't have ANYTHING!!!! So, no place that offers fitness classes or anything....

    I will be Zumba-ing tonight! I love to do anything dancy, and I think that is why I love Zumba. The music is fun, the moves are fun and you sweat a lot!! haha :laugh:

    I do think much of it will depend on your instructor(s). They could make or break it. The videos, eh... not so great. My instructors mix zumba/latin music with some top 40 stuff you hear on the radio as well. Enjoying the music is a must too!

    I hope you love it! :drinker:

    ZUMBA is awesome. It's a great workout with lots of moves, but like anything with dance, everyone has their own style, which is what makes it so much fun. My instructor says you burn 600 calories, although I'm usually around 500. But the time flies...Have a great time.

    Zumba is the best! I've been going at least once a week for the past year and some change. Think of it like line dancing with a combination of hip hop and latin. Hahah, and LOTS of bootyshakin'. In a one hour class, I burn between 600 and 750 calories! I'm going to take it as a regularly scheduled class next semester and I am extremely excited for it. So, just to warn you - it's highly addictive!
