Many people might think that they "have no rhythm" but believe me, once you're in that Zumba class, your feet just take off! I recommend Zumba for anybody who likes to move, who used to move and who wants to move! Zumba is perfect for any age! Don't worry about being super coordinated, just get ready for some super-fun!

A friend invited me to attend a Zumba class back in March of 2009 because I had been depressed, overweight, diabetic and dealing with my mother battling colon cancer. Once I attended that first Zumba class, I was hooked.
...It was like a party with a twist. And the twist was having fun while burning calories and lighting the fire in a body that had been sitting on ice. I LOVE Zumba. I love it so much that I am a Zumba groupie. If I could offer a metaphor, it would be this: the relationship a spark plug has to an engine is what Zumba is to exercise and the body...Exercise can be fun!!! Felicia H.

I own a restaurant, and wine store, which are both very demanding and stressful on my life. [But] when I finish the class, the tension is released and the fulfillment I feel when I dance my way to fitness is worth every moment of being there. I can face the day totally rejuvenated and energized. Debbie A.

Zumba is like dancing by myself in my room, but with structure. I think exercising should be fun and life-affirming and to me, Zumba is just that! Hollie G.

Zumba with Suzy takes me back to dancing with girlfriends during my adolescence. It is THAT fun! As a middle-aged mother of three, I especially appreciate being energized through Zumba -- dance, music, fun...couldn't be exercise, could it?
The only thing missing from an otherwise perfect marriage to my husband is the fact that he does not dance. Yes, I knew that when I married him, but in doing so, I somehow repressed my own desire to dance! Zumba has given me an outlet for rekindling my love of dance. If Zumba isn't therapy, I don't know what is! Natalie R.
