It uses some of the common steps from aerobics, including lunges, kicks, squats, box steps and jumping jacks, but is usually faster paced, and a lot more varied.
Zumba choreography also incorporates dance influenced from hip-hop, salsa, samba, and mambo, and can even have martial arts, belly dance and Bollywood moves. Routines change with each song, making it a lot more exciting.
While some rhythm and coordination are useful, you don’t have to be particularly skilled to still get a good workout and have lots of fun.
There will be sweat involved, but Zumba is exercise in disguise – you’re sure to have fun, while burning calories.
Be sure to bring a towel, a bottle of water and a sense of fun to each class! Despite it’s dance influences, Zumba is an exercise class, and you should wear cloths which are suitable to work out in.
A good pair of trainers and a decent sports bra are recommended, along with tracksuit bottoms (or similar) and a tee-shirt.
Most classes cater for beginners and improvers.
