what is zumba fitness?
Zumba is a fusion of Latin and International music dance themes creating a dynamic, exciting, effective fitness system. The routines feature aerobic/ fitness interval training with a combination of fast and slow rhythms that tone and sculpt the body. It targets areas such as gluteus, legs, arms, abdominal and the most important muscle in the body, the heart. It is a mixture of body sculpting movements with easy to follow dance steps.
You don't have to know how to dance to do Zumba!
The Zumba program is designed to motivate everyone to get active and adhere to a fitness program; it combines high energy and motivating music with unique moves and combinations that allow the Zumba participant to dance away their worries. It is based on the principle that a workout should be "FUN AND EASY TO DO".
Zumba is not only great for the body, but it is also great for the mind; it is a feel happy workout!

what should i wear at zumba?
It is important to have comfortable pants that move with you. Clothing that restricts your movement is not advised. You need to have exercise clothing that moves with you. Wear thin layers that you can take off as you get warmer, you'll definitely be getting warm doing your Zumba workout!
Comfortable shoes are a must! Choose shoes that offer stability and cushion your movements. Comfortable training shoes are fine. If you want to wear flat dance shoes then they will be suitable too, anything that allows you to twist and turn with the music!
You will sweat in this class! So bring a towel, a bottle of water and a smile! See you at Zumba!
