The Zumba®  Zone
Tips and Tidbits

How long is each class?
Each class is 1 hour long.

What should I bring to class?
Most importantly bring your enthusiasm and willingness to HAVE FUN!  Bring plenty of water and dress comfortably in workout type clothing and supportive sneakers. You may also want to bring a towel...  you will sweat (not a bad thing!)

What kind of shoes are ideal to wear in a Zumba®  class?
Wear supportive sneakers. Zumba®  incorporates a lot of lateral movements, front and back and pivoting.  A sneaker with less "profile" is better because it will let you "slide" a little instead of stopping you in your tracks. If you are going shoe shopping look for dance sneakers that have a pivot circle at the bottom of the shoe by the balls of your feet.

I don't know how to dance - can I still take a Zumba®  class?
ABSOLUTELY! No experience necessary! The moves are simple and easy to pick up, especially if you come to class regularly.

What age groups come to class?
ALL AGES, ALL SHAPES, ALL SIZES, ETC. Remember that this is YOUR class and you can move as fast or slow as you feel is right for you.  If you need to take a break - take a break.  Listen to your body!

How many calories can I burn during one hour of Zumba® ?
That is totally up to you.  The harder you work the more you burn.  As a rule of thumb you can burn between 500-800 calories during one class.

 

OTHER TIPS:

Don't worry about counting steps or looking the same as the person next to you - JUST HAVE FUN!

Don't worry about the steps too much - you will pick them up over time - you can even bust out your own moves!

There are no rules in Zumba® ! Just come, get moving, laugh a little, sweat alot, and have a great time!

And REMEMBER,  I want you to love this as much as I do, so anything I can do to help people feel more comfortable or any questions I can answer, I am more than happy to at any time!
