    Seriously, just go and have fun. I can be one of those jerks who snickers to myself at the uncoordinated people in aerobics class, but in Zumba I had too much fun and was too concerned about how goofy I might look to even notice what other people were doing.

    Keep moving and have fun!!!! Its a great workout! Im soooo addicted to it! I dont want to go home at the end of the class I just want to keep going...LOL! Dont feel funny, nobody will be watching you, all eyes will be on the instructor. So, if you cant follow the steps just do your own thing. If your not too sure about it your first time go again and Im sure you will be addicted in no time :)

    Don't be afraid to stand up front. You'll have a much better view of the instructor.

    And as has been said many times... have fun.

    I have been doing Zumba for about 3 months now and I love it! I crave it when I am on my rest days. My best advice would be... go back the 2nd day. The first day is a little difficult because you are learning new moves and it is kind of fast. Once you get the moved down it's honestly so much fun. Even on my first day I was smiling and I had no idea what I was doing. I also love the fact that I am sweating and burning over 500 cals and I never feel the need to quit!

    My instructor say there are only 3 rules in Zumba

    1. Have Fun
    2. Keep Moving
    3. There is no wrong in Zumba.

    Also, you may try more than one class/instructor. You will find instructors ranging from boring to way over the top. Find the one that suits YOU best.

    HAVE FUN !!!

    Zumba addict.

    I go to Zumba occasionally with my sister. Have went about 5 times and even though I have NO dance skills, I really enjoy it. Sometimes I get lost on the movements, but just do as everyone on else is saying and keep moving. I am very self concious, but try not to worry about the other people. They are there to have fun and get healthy...the same as you! Awesome job for trying something new!!!

    My best advice is make sure you can see the instructor. Have fun and burn lots of calories.

    Stand behind someone who knows what they are doing.. you will pick it up.. everything is single, single, double.. gotta get that beat in your head.. there are always newbies in a class.. You will be fine! It's a really good time. You will leave there sweating!
