    You made it so easy for a person like me who literally has never danced in life. I recently have joined a Zumba class n I couldn't move at all. I felt like I am a wooden log tied up in many shackles.... After watching this video some of the shackles have definitely been broken. 😉

      I was so embarrassed to dance in public, I started hanging at the back of the class & realized I was massively distracted by other dancers. Move to the front, you'll have fun. Watch instructors hand signals & if you don't get that- watch your instructors feet. You'll get the hang of it very quickly - see even if you make a mistake, make light of it, smile & laugh. You'll enjoy it even more.
      You don't need to memorize the steps, but if you keep your ears open you'll follow things fairly easily - have fun.
      I'm over 50 and when I watched a local Zumba class I realized I used to do these dances (in my twenties) but was drunk. If I could do it then I can surely do it now with a bit more life experiences. The words that I live by are; "Every day is a zumba day"!
      Smile, laugh & enjoy!

      Zumba is somehow a language itself: the Latin rhythms, the moves, the vibes, the steps and variations...and like every language it does require practice: it might take you longer than what it takes to other people, but this doesn't mean that you won't get there. Keep going, Lee!

    Excellent instructions I am already pretty good at Zumba moves as I use to go to a zumba gym but with this pandemic and being stuck at home 😔 I stopped being motivated to workout so my hubby said he would do zumba with me 😄 However he struggles with the moves he is not as much a dancer as I am. So I found this video and it's the best so far I've found and it is really helping him to enjoy the workout more with me instead of being frustrated cuz he can't keep up. He is now enjoying workouts with me in the morning, thanks a lot for this.
