Zumba at Washington College
From January - June 2009 I taught 5 Zumba Fitness classes a week at Washington College in Chestertown, Maryland. It was exciting to see all parts of the college join in to take classes; Students, Faculty & Staff members.

Great class today!
I'm so happy about today's class =) I had 5 people return from the previous week, and 8 newbies!
The 6:40 p.m. class isn't drawing much of a crowd, so it will be taken off next month's schedule, BUT I'm hoping that they'll add another morning class in the next month or so.
Great job everyone!

Tips for First Timers
* Wear loose, comfortable clothing that BREATHES. You WILL work up a sweat. If you want to start off with a jacket or sweatshirt, that's okay, but be prepared to get HOT!!
* Wear PROPER SHOES --- cross training shoes, aerobic dance shoes, dance sneakers (the ones with the round pivot point on the ball of your foot) are good --- DO NOT wear running shoes, as they have treads that are too deep and grip the floor too much, risking knee injury. Even if you have old sneakers with well-worn treads, choose those over running shoes.
* Drink PLENTY OF WATER before, during and after class. Hydration is very important!!!
* DON'T worry about the steps!!! Zumba is all about having FUN while getting FIT!!! There are NO MISTAKES in Zumba!!! As long as you're BREATHING, as long as you're MOVING, as long as you're HAVING FUN, you're doing Zumba correctly!!!

During a Zumba class...
"During the warming up you immediately get hyped by the stimulating Latin Dance music. Up tempo and slow rhythms interchange each other, interval training is proven to be the best way to effectively lose weight! It’s like being in sunny Colombia when you are dancing!
Zumba is addictive and you want more each time. Every lesson brings an unforgettable workout. You want to get your next work out as soon as possible!"
What IS Zumba?
"Zumba means ‘moving fast and having fun’. It is a combination of fitness- and dance moves on swinging latin music. Salsa, Flamenco and Merengue, everything is possible. Every Zumba lesson is one big party, you don’t even notice you are actually working out and losing weight, it’s just like going to the club! No hard choreography’s, Zumba is there for everybody who loves swinging on music! Zumba lessons are already available in over 40 countries, and this number is growing each day… "
