I took my first class last week and loved it! I looked like an idiot but I really liked it. I'm trying to learn the moves at home but the videos/games are expensive and there are none on the internet. Guess I'll keep going back though....it's a great burn! How long did it take everyone else to get the moves down?

    Zumba is a lot of fun and you burn a lot of calories . I have been taking Zumba Gold (great for beginners, those with injuries & seniors) for it's slower paced. Easier to learn the steps & routines. Just started going to original Zumba got to watch my knees for instructor loves to do a lot of turns and quick moves so may go back to Zumba gold. Keep up the classes they say it takes about 4-6 times to learn the routines which I found true. Check out zumba.com for classes in your area including toning, & aqua zumba aka water aerobics. zumbacalories,com for calories burn & zumbacommunity for events,meetup.com has zumba classes & events. on internet look up zumba many free routine.

    It takes at least 3 classes before you get the hang of the routines, but it's worth it!!! I am in love with Zumba, it has helped me lose a lot of weight and I love the people I have met! I would much rather do it with a big group than a DVD at home!!! Keep on going!!!!!:wink:

    It took me 3-4 classes to get the moves down, depending on how complicated the song was. I really enjoy it now and I burn a lot of calories.
