Zumba - OMG I love it!

I just went to my first zumba class the other day and I L-O-V-E it!  Does anyone in the Dallas area do it? I'm looking for other opportunities to ZUMBA!!!  

 I love Zumba too.....I am not very good at it at all because I have no rhythm but hey that is another story.  LOL   It is great exercise !!!!

where do you go?  Maybe we could go sometime together!

 Well....confession time.  LOL   I use to go to Fitness 2000 and that is where I did Zumba several times a week.   Was never good...made lots of mistakes but still loved it.   I have a membership to 24 hour fitness that I need to activate.   Not sure if they offer Zumba or not.   I need to look and see.   If they do I would love to have you come over to my neck of town and go with me....but the only problem is usually when I go to the gym it is in the AM.    That is the best time of me.    But who knows....I could go in the evenings too.    I will check out the classes at the 24 hour fitness near me.

i'm going to start a Zumba class as soon as I get clearance from the doctor after my foot surgery tomorrow.  My coworkers seem to love it and I think it would be great stress relief.

I eventually want to try it, but maybe when I drop a bit more weight.  I am still carrying so much that I get out of breath easily.  I know they do offer them at the 24 Hour Fitness in Lewisville off 121 and Josey.

Let me know when you want to try it!  I'm going on Sunday's (except this Sunday bc out of town) to a place in Carrollton, it's $10 for a class at 2 p.m.!

So much fun.  I have a membership to 24 hr fitness, but I think that club is a level above my membership :(  But, it might be worth a couple extra bucks to go!

what is Zumba? and how does it differ from all the other exercise programs out there? Is it low-impact?

Well, I'm no expert since I've just been 1 time, but I think it could be as much impact as you wanted.  We were jumping around but you could easily modify it to be low-impact. 

I'm sure each class is a little different but I would describe it as dance aerobics...the class I went to was a combo of latin dance and hip hop.

Here's the info from zumba.com:
