What is Zumba?
Maria: “Zumba is doing exercise and dance with different rhythms. It’s a workout without much of a “workout”. It is dance and exercise combined.”

How did you first get involved with Zumba?
Maria: “ A friend told me about it and I saw a segment of it on T.V. I found it very interesting and fun. Soon after I enrolled to become a certified Zumba instructor, and now I instruct part-time at a friends house, a non-profit organization, and at churches.”

Practice
“I have selective DVDs sent to me through ZIN (Zumba Instructors Network) which have different routines. Each routine have 2 versions and I mix and match to best suit my classes.”

Creating a routine with music
“I choose songs based on the classes I will be teaching. The first level is beginning, gold, intermediate, and advanced. A lot of the music I get is music that comes with the ZIN DVDs and some are songs I choose myself based on the kind of music I think the people will enjoy.”

Practice With A Playlist
“After I have chosen my routine, and music I practice both to make sure the beats match and as well to practice and memorize the music and the sequence in which it appears.”

Warm- Up:
“First I start by stretching all the muscles and by instructing controlled breathing exercises so they don’t feel too exhausted during the exercise.”

Cardio
“After a 15-minute warm-up we begin the cardio and this includes both dance routines and aerobics or in this case step- aerobics.
Me: I was getting pretty tired, and some steps were pretty complicated. It was really interested how dance was combined with aerobics. Unfortunately, I was not quite able to capture some of the more complex steps because of the rapid movement. Some people arrived prepared with a towel in hand.

Cool Down
“After the 30-minutes or cardio we slowly progress into the “cool down” section of the class and we do that by stretching and controlled breathing exercises.”
Me: It was truly a workout and the people were really tired, including myself. The breating exercises really helped and it really helped control my respiration.

“Baila ‘Pa Emociona”
Maria: The reason I love Zumba is because, it is for all kinds of people whether elderly, disabled, kids, and teenagers.”
Me:In this exercise I learned that Zumba is more than a coordinated dance. I precisely enjoyed this class because it was a combination of exercise with dance and you got a workout while moving your hips and while working out some core muscles and while singing along with tunes you heard while growing up. I never would have guessed Zumba to be this much fun! I am definitely attending next week!
