Michelle’s Zumba On Delridge

Have you been looking for a Zumba class, but are hesitant to take one, because it sounds like a group of Jazzercise fanatics? Do you love Latin music, but aren’t unsure about your dance moves? Or maybe you’re like me, and you want a way to burn loads of calories, dance your bum off, and actually feel like returning for another workout?
This is the class, friends. An intensive evening class (so there’s no sweating before work), taught by the best Zumba instructor in the city. You can take my word for that, because I’ve made the Zumba rounds. She knows what she’s doing, has a passion for Latin music/​dance (so you don’t need to worry that you’ll suddenly have country music, or old school rock show up in the playlist), and keeps things interesting.
At first, you’ll probably find yourself thinking. how do I keep up? It will seem like everyone is super invested in the routines (which is kind of a good thing, as they don’t notice if you’re straggling along). But the key is in persistence. After a few classes, things get recognizable, and you’re able to get a deeper workout with each successive class. Next thing you know, you’re pretty sure you’re a backup dancer for Beyoncé. And thennnn… she changes up the playlist, and the challenge begins again. But that’s what we want in a workout routine – a challenge – right?
The great thing here, is that she sticks to dance… none of that crazy aerobic, choppy, robotic stuff. That being said, you will get a very good workout. It will make you want to return. The front desk guy told me that after one class, I’d be hooked. He was right. (He was also right when he explained that the monthly pass was a much better deal than the drop-​in rate).
