I love the Zumba class I take at the local YMCA. I don't like working out too much, and do it kind of grudgingly, so being able to dance my way to fitness is and has always been the key! I was a ballet dancer for over a decade from elementary school to college and loved every minute of it. Dancing for me is truly the best and funnest way to work out. Zumba is a dance fitness class that is now popular all over the place. Zumba instructors teach you moves that you would see on "Dancing with the Stars," like the salsa, mambo, and cha-cha, put into a fitness format. It doesn't feel like a workout, when I first get there I am tense and have many worries in the front of my mind, but when I leave I feel so refreshed and happy and can't stop smiling. I'm glad I have this class right now in my life to lift me up and let me get out all that stress through dancing. I have for all my growing up years, in college when I danced, and even now love the feeling I get when I dance. I highly recommend it. My class is full of every shape and size, young and old, male and female. Zumba is for everyone :)

I love ZUMBA too!! They also have Latin Fusion class here too (do they have it there) that is just as fun that I totally recommend too!! I agree...it is so much fun to smile, dance and watch everyone try and learn the fun moves. I am with you on this one! Happy late Easter...any chance of you coming to Trevor's wedding?
Too bad I don't have a money tree. I love hip hop and would take a hip hop or latin dance class if I could afford it. Sounds fun though, great way to keep in shape and looking good.
Ashley I have wanted to try it for a while now but I am nervous because I am NOT a dancer. What days and times do you go? Let me know and maybe I will get up the nerve to join you. I am glad you are enjoying it so much I hear it is a great class. Keep it up!
Sooo happy to see this! I am the owner of a Women's Fitness Center in Layton Utah called "PiNK!". We specialize in enpowering women. We feature 10 Zumba classes per week and are love the results. I loved your post about it and would love to quote you on our website, or blog or facebook. I don't know where you live..but if you live near us..come in for a FREE Zumba class anytime!
I want to do it as well, but I don't want to work out in that main gym where everyone can watch! Mimi goes and likes to go with others, you should call her.
Sounds like FUN! While Rachel was out here we would do "Hip Hop ABS" together, that was fun.
