Zumba

I would ask this on H&F, but I know yall will give it to me straight.  Can someone with absolutely no coordination and no dancing whatsoever really get it?  Will I even have a good time or will be to worried about getting the moves and everyone watching me?

I really want to try it out, there's a place nearby that's only 5 a class, which isnt bad.  I can go to UWFs gym, but Im just not feeling it and they dont offer it anyways.  I always feel so out of place at UWFs gym.  Zumba people seem like my kind of people, but I dont know if I can do it.

Re: Zumba

  • I did it twice.

    I hated it both times.

    The second time I fell down & twisted my ankle.

  • Don't listen to ClaireDunphy.  I hate new people on the board.

    Zumba ROCKS, but it totally depends on the instructor IME.  Jenhappy took me to a place in April that has awesome instructors and I've basically been going at least three times a week since then.  I have zero coordination and no dance skillz.  Honestly I was not a fan the first three or so times.  I'm not sure why I stuck with it.  But once you get the basic moves, you start to enjoy it. At least I did.

  • I agree with Lucille! I love it! I take a class here at UNF and I got the Dvd's for Christmas. It really does depend on the instructor, but both of the ones here are great, but very different.

  • I should've added that I'm pretty much the only person I know that hates it.

  • And, um, cocktails?  Yes, please.  lol
  • It 100 million times depends on the instructor. So go for a few times, but if you're not feeling it, try a different place/instructor. I'm a total zumba NUT. I got hooked years ago and I basically zumba through life now (much to my husband's confusion/entertainment). The place LB and I go now is w/o a doubt the best instructor/atmosphere, but I've been to two other instructors that I loved too. That said, I have been to two that I HATED, and this was after I was already hooked on zumba, so it's not like I wasn't "into" it. It was just their dances, their attitude, etc.

  • jodi, just comfortable clothes you would wear to any workout. Sometimes you get whackadoos who wear the bellydancing jingle belt things, or cargo pants with the tassles all over that swing around... but most ppl are normal. haha

     Claire -- WOOPWOOP!

  • I'm wearing black spandexy workout pants and a black top with sneakers (obviously) tonight, but people wear ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING.  There's an ancient, tiny Asian woman (like 4'7 and 76 lbs) who always coordinates her headband, shorts and socks.  Her zebra outfit is my favorite.

    Sweatpants and a t-shirt?  That's what I would be rocking.

  • Zumba is Tuesdays and Thursday nights, but I cant do Thursdays for the next 6 weeks.  Its at 6pm.  

    We can also opt to do a Girls night out type thing with just us and it would only $10.

    I would do this.  Only make a backside of myself in front of three people instead of 20.  lol

    I can do either night.

  • I can go Thursdays the next few weeks, but have appointments every Tuesday night until my vacation.  After that, I can go whenever. 
  • I would prefer the Girls Night thing too. I would only be able to do Thursdays since I'm off that day.. I don't leave work until 6:30 on Tuesday.

  • I'll check out the Girls Night thing and get back with details.
