Zumba and Exercise

Zumba Classes

What is Zumba? Zumba is a total body toning aerobic workout that combines Latin dance steps with fitness moves. The moves are borrowed from contemporary Caribbean and South American dances and exaggerated to raise the heart rate and tone all the major muscle groups. The music is motivating and lively, and is the same calorie-torching workout that is helping people all over the world lose weight and get fit. Zumba was created by a Colombian fitness instructor named Alberto “Beto” Perez. 

Class fee: $10 walk-ins, $9 per class with purchase of a 5-class multi-class card.
Kids under 13 years of age: $9 walk-ins, $8 per class with purchase of a 5-class “Kids Card.”

What To Wear

Footwear for Zumba: Please wear a sneaker designed for aerobic dance or hip hop. Aerobic dance sneakers are sold at athletic shoe stores, such as Foot Locker.  Hip hop shoes are sold at dance shoe stores or can be ordered through catalogues.  Andrea wears Klassik hip-hop sneakers by the manufacturer Bloch.  Order 1/2 size to 1 size larger than your street shoe, as the Klassik runs small.  Expect to pay between $50 and $60 for the Klassik.  Capezio hip-hop sneakers run between $40 and $60. Dancin’ On The Moon in East Brunswick offers a 10% discount for people who attend events at IM Gallery. Just say “Marc from Highland Park Dance sent me.”

Clothing: Wear comfortable, light clothing that allows you freedom of movement.  A good rule of thumb is to aim to feel chilly before you start moving.  Once you warm up you'll feel comfortable and have more energy for the rest of the class.
