Can I join a class anytime? Yes! Due to the nature of Zumba you can start anytime. Just be prepared for the routines to take at least a few weeks to become familiar but while your getting to know them just do what you can to follow the instructors lead and most importantly have fun with it. How do we learn the routines? Simple! By copying the instructor to the best of your ability. To ensure the class remains a high intensity dance workout, rarely will the steps be broken down in detail and explained. Though this may sound like a difficult way to learn you will be surprised how easy it is as you allow your natural movements to help grasp the sequences and transitions within each dance. To make the routines easier to learn sections are also repeated which coincide with different parts of the song. What kind of dances are included in the sessions? Loads! One of the great aspects of Zumba is the number of different dance steps and rhythms you can learn. These include the likes of Reggaeton, Cumbia, Salsa, Bachata, Samba, Tango, Merengue, Swing & even Belly Dancing! Do I need to register onto a class? No. You are welcome to just turn up anytime. Though to guarantee taking part in the class its advisable if possible to arrive a few minutes early just in case the class gets full. What clothing and footwear should I wear? It is strongly advisable to wear light fitness clothes for any adult Zumba class. Please also wear trainers. The most ideal trainers are those with a multi directional soled grip such as tennis trainers or dance fitness trainers however, if you just wear normal trainers these will be adequate for comfort. Will Zumba get me fit? Yes! Classes are designed by our instructors to be dynamic and high energy workouts with obvious calorie burning effects. Due to the movements involved the classes will also help to tone and sculpt your body too. Zumba Fitness is the most intensive program so these classes will be the most vigorous. However, if you are looking for a lower paced class but still want to enjoy all the fun and health benefits from Zumba then simply join one of our Zumba Gold classes. As with any exercise if you want to get fit the more classes you attend each week the better the results! |
