Hey all I am hoping to go to a Zumba class this evening at my gym. How many of you have ever done it and is it fun?

    I just went to my first class last night, to try it. I won't be able to go regularly until after my May intercession class, which means I won't start really until June. I loved it!

    I am currenly online trying to scope out the best shoes for Zumba as we speak....

    I am going to get the DVDs though and do it some on my own while taking my class, but I don't know how much time I will have.

    Love, love, love Zumba!!! I don't even consider it working out because it's like a dance party every time.

    Let me know what you find out about shoes. I feel I wasnt wearing a good pair for anything to do with dancing. I should know better having been in dancing before! haha

    I'm also a Zumba instructor, but I burn only around 350 calories. The class is a ton of fun, but just like any other form of cardio you need to shake it up, when I first started teaching I burned way more calories, now not so much, my body is just too accustomed

    Just a note on the shoes...I do it barefoot!

    I decided to do the DVDs barefoot, but I will probably wear shoes when I go to the gym.
