the craze that is zumba

The world is zumba crazy at the moment. Well, at least Laney and Mei are absolutely obsessed with it! They invited me along tonight so I could join the craze … for those who have somehow missed the hype zumba is a new dance fitness program played out to Latin and pop music and borrowing moves from Latin dance including salsa, mambo, flamenco, samba and with belly dancing and hip hop thrown in.

The class is totally dominated by girls (e.g. tonight there were like two guys and nearly 30 girls) so lads – if you want to meet some ladies this is a fantastic opportunity. And .. even if the students aren’t eye candy enough for you, the instructor is normally quite hot and sexy. Classes tend to be oversubscribed so if you’re unfamiliar with the moves it would behoove you to stand right at the front of the class so you can see the instructor. And there are no prizes for holding anything back – you want to dance your socks off!

I did have a lot of fun tonight with the great music … but I’m not sure I’ll be a frequent attendant … my dancing is totally atrocious! 😉
