Zumba Update!

I send a shout out to all those of you who have been enjoying Zumba with me! Its so much fun is hard to think it's a workout! I am happy to say that some of my students are buying Zumba CDs and keeping the party going at home.

Quick tips to make Zumba class even more fun....Practice at home! You can purchase CDs or even go the free route and start with YouTube. One of my students said, "I had so much fun after the class I went home to show my husband what I did. The next day I looked it up on YouTube and worked out!"

As you learn to Zumba:
There are four basic steps; Salsa, Meregue, Reggeton, and Cumbia. The good news is that the steps have similar patterns, easy to learn, and repeated often during class. The reason why Zumba is also fitness is because we use arm variations (helps increase heart rate), lunges, and squats (for lower body strengthening), and often engage the core muscles (to sculpt and tone midsection). These fitness elements make Zumba a perfect total body workout.

During class, I preview the steps prior to the song. I give lots of visual cues so that you know what to do. If you have never tried or are new to Zumba just remember if you can walk, you can Zumba!


Class Schedule update:
No Class May 2nd

Zumba Demo

It is understandable that you might be afraid to dance in front of a bunch of strangers. But listen, don't be afraid. The minute you walk into the space you will smile. A great big smile. The music starts and you will forget your fears. If you are still not sure, just come and watch. You will still move your booty in the chair!

Come live the Zumba experience. Demo a class anytime for free. You are welcome to see what Zumba is all about before you try it for real! Please call or email ahead to reserve a demo spot in class!

Keep moving!

Saturday Classes 130-230pm

Zumba Fitness for adults and kids 12 and over. This class will be at My World Dance & Fitness Studio. The studio is at 849 Hiawatha Place South 98144. It is off Rainer Ave heading towards Seattle.

What to wear: Comfortable clothes to dance (Sweats, Ts/tanks, etc). Flat sole sneakers for beginners. Once you make Zumba part of your workout menu invest in dance sneakers (check out Shoes4fitness.com).

Drink plenty of water and bring water and towel with you!

There is street parking, but recommend coming to class 15 minutes early to get a good space on street and dance floor!
