    It is lots of fun and definitely a good workout. I have ZERO dance skills and I manage to follow most of it. Some instructors are better than others or I should say a better fit for me.

    yes!!! I LOVE zumba! I don't think I have ever heard of anyone who has tried it an not liked it! I get the best calorie burn in one hour of zumba compared to one hour of anything else!! Have fun :)

    I used to dance when I was younger so thought Zumba would be right up my street. It kinda was although I did feel a bit of a tit shaking my *kitten* and boobs so much! Its basically simple dance routines to holiday type salsa music. Good to get the heart rate going!

    I have to admit the only thing that would make me go again is the view if the spinning instructor through the studio window!

    Thats something I'd like to know too. I've heard lots of good things about zumba. although I think I'll get it for the Wii system. less chance of me making a fool of myself in public.

    Yes it's so much fun and addicting especially if you love to dance and you get a great instructor. The Wii game is fun too. Check out youtube zumba class videos and give it a try.

    Stand at the back till you pick up the routines and remember there will always be someone there worse than you!

    lol twinielilly... if only i didnt have my hubby wanting to join me i would ask what classes you go to lol.
    Is it male friendly, from what im gathering from the responses shaking his bottom is not exactly something i can see him doing lol

    Yes but you have to have a great instructor and good music. They have to know what they are doing. I have seen good classes and bad ones

    From the responses on here sounds like you have to prepare yourself for shaking your bottom :) Nothing says a guy cant do this, my hubby shakes his bottom better than me the question is would you want to do this in a room ful of others??? But like someone just said theres always going to be someone worse than you so i think if you want to give it a try then go for it !!!!

    ABSOLUTELY LOVE MY ZUMBA!!!!! Classes are fantastic! If yu have never done it before, don't be discouraged at your first, second, or even third class. You need to learn the moves and then picking up new songs gets easier! Just remembe, laughing burns calories and uses your stomach muscles!!!!!!! HAVE A TERRIFIC TIME! Bring water and a towel!
