| Frequently Asked Questions |
I don't know how to dance - can I take Zumba® classes?
YES! Zumba® is for EVERYONE...the choreography is simple and easy to
follow. In each song there are usually only four steps that repeat
throughout the song. Classes are led at an intermediate level and the steps
can be modified for beginners or for more advanced movement.
I haven't been working out regularly - can I take Zumba® classes?
YES! Everyone is encouraged to work out at a level that is comfortable for
them and appropriate to their individual fitness levels.
Can I really get a good workout in Zumba® classes?
YES! Because the program is so flexible, both the beginner and the
long-time exerciser alike can find great satisfaction - and a great sweat! -
participating in Zumba® classes. Typical participants burn between 500-800
calories per hour. The workout targets the glutes, legs, arms, abdominals,
and most importantly, the heart.
What type of shoe should I wear?
You should wear good supportive shoes, preferably with a smoother sole,
that allow for flowing movement, twisting and side-to-side motion. Please
note that running shoes are not ideal because they tend to have more tread
which may impede movement and are designed for forward/backward motion.
These are my two favorite shoes: Bloch Boost Dance Sneaker and Sansha
Dynamo. CLICK HERE for more information. Use the discount code FITNAN2
at checkout for a 10% discount on all items. (Good at shoes4fitness.com only)
While these dance sneakers work great for me, I always encourage students
to find shoes that give the right kind of support for THEM. I prefer the split
sole as it allows me to tie the laces tighter around my arches, but others
think a split sole doesn't provide enough arch support. It's important to try
different styles until you find the right one for YOU.
What kind of clothing should I wear?
Zumba® is a cardio workout based on interval training. Be prepared to
sweat! Wear whatever keeps you comfortable during a similar aerobic
workout - step class, running, etc.
Fierce active wear - including items you'll see me wearing during class - can
be found at the Zumba website. CLICK HERE to browse or buy.
Where can I find additional Zumba® classes?
