The real appeal of Zumba dance is the music! When you’re in the zone with Zumba it’s because you are really “feeling” the music and it makes you move and love it! 

The dance actions and exercise moves are important, of course, but it just would not be Zumba at all without the sizzling, toe tapping, hip swiveling audio that makes you just want to get up and move, move, move!  

A “Zumba Basic” class is usually 1 hour long and is primarily based on Latin rhythms. Remember that every teacher is different and may have a different mix of Zumba audio. Some class leaders even include a lot of “hip hop” into their classes. 

The common audio format for a Zumba class consists of 2 to 3 warm-up tunes, 7 to 10 tunes for the actual exercise and 1 to 2 cool-down songs. These numbers will differ slightly depending on the length of every song a teacher utilizes. Zumba® Health and fitness suggests their instructors use no more than a 70/30 ratio. In other words, 70% of Zumba audio used in class should be Latin rhythms and the other 30% can be whatever type the teacher chooses. 

Most recently, Zumba® Health and fitness integrated some other kinds of audio into their program such as Belly Dance, Tango, Twist, Nation and Rock ‘n Roll. An example is on the Zumba® Health and fitness Cd “Cardiovascular Celebration”.  One of the newest cd’s for Zuma, “Celebration Nation”, has a little of every thing as well. It targets the Latin rhythms as well as music for Belly Dance and Tango.

Zumba instructors can make up their own routines and can choose their own Zumba audio. Numerous instructors get tunes from iTunes or other music sites. Choreographed DVDs contain actions to every song. Instructors can choose to use them completely or take bits and pieces of them for their courses or may only use a couple of tunes.  

For Zumba Gold, numerous times the same audio can be used. A Zumba Gold class is for the beginning exerciser, individuals who are not used to working out, and active older grown ups. The actions are carried out at a slower speed and transitional moves are used more. 

Zumba also has a Zumba® Gold audio Cd for individuals who take the Zumba® Gold Workshop. Zumba music on the Gold Cd includes C’mon and Dance (Merengue) Cabo de la Vela (Salsa Cha Cha) Zumba Cumbia (Cumbia) Ya Llego (Salsa) El Twist de la Munequita (Rock ‘n Roll). Warm ups are Muevete Pa Ca Muevete Pa lla and Quien Balia,ien Goza. The coos are Mi Ritmo and Aromuzak. Remember these are carried out at a slower pace.

Whether you go for the gold or standard Zumba, the music is the essential key to get you moving!

Since Zumba or any dance exercise is a health and fitness exercise, “dance shoes”, as you might know them, such as ankle-strap shoes with heels or ballet slippers, just will not allow you to Zumba.

Zumba exercise is fun but can be difficult on your feet. Your shoes for Zumba health and fitness need a combination of excellent support and great fit for the best performance.

Following are a few helpful tips to assist you in selecting the best shoes for Zumba.

1. The best and most secure shoe is an athletic cross-trainer or a shoe specifically made for health and fitness dance. Both types function well for your best dancing action. We suggest the Capezio Womens DS11 Fierce Dansneaker.

2. Footwear ought to be light-weight with no grips on the soles. You will need to be able to pivot easily and without sticking to the floor. Your foot ought to be able to bend easily in your shoes.

3. Soles ought to be shock-absorbing since most dance health and fitness routines need some jumping and bouncing. You want your shoes to be able to take the force, not your heels and arches.

4. Whatever shoes you choose for dance, steer clear of wearing running shoes or shoes made for sports. These generally have a harder, less supportive sole and can really trigger injury to a dancer.  Footwear for Zumba and health and fitness dance are designed differently from running or sports shoes.

5. A gel insole inserted into your shoes can add additional comfort and foot safety.
