I jumped into a regular Zumba class first when actually Zumba Toning might have been a better choice. Zumba Toning for the first half of class uses very light weight sticks for extra cardiovascular and muscle work and it goes at a somewhat easier pace than the regular Zumba sessions. All the better to learn those moves for a novice and even a horrible dancer like me did a lot better the second day. The instructors Karol and Janee were terrific and they attend regular instruction in Zumba as well so that they can pass on new music and new moves to the participants. Sometimes one instructor will face one way and one the other which makes it easier to figure out the pattern and sometimes one will do the moves at a slighter slower pace, amazingly still in rhythm.
After a half-hour the class picks up the pace doing more the regular Zumba songs and moves. Here is where the fun really began because one of the members left briefly and then returned dressed as who else but Zumbaclaus. He wasn't as rolly-polly as the original, but Zumbaclaus certainly moved a whole lot faster. Maybe this is the training Santa needs to prepare for that long night of December 25th. The instructors brought out red Santa caps for us all and we ended doing Zumba moves to the song "Santa Baby." Talk about fun! It simply doesn't get any better than this.
