ZUMBA

What's Zumba?! Zumba is a latin-based workout that
is fun, effective, easy to do! It's now at Santa
Cruz Dance Company with 15 classes a week, so come dance and see a
fitter you! Zumba Basic classes (T/Th at 10 am and Sat at 9 am) are great for seniors and those seeking out a slower
paced version of our regular Zumba classes.

Read what the participants are saying about Zumba:
“For
years I had been looking for a dance class where I
could feel comfortable to brush up on my skills and
learn something new. Zumba is exactly that...and the
highlight of my week! My job is very stressful and
exhausting, but coming to Zumba 3 to 4 times a week
makes me feel physically and emotional rejuvenated.
I have gained muscle and lost weight - a whole pant
size in just over a month! Zumba is way more fun and
a much better workout than anything I've ever
experienced at my gym. Joy is an amazing teacher,
which is evident by the increasing number of
students that come to Zumba each week, and keep
coming back for more!”
-Alicia Laing
“I
haven't taken a dance class in years and certainly
have never thought of myself as a dancer. I was
searching for an activity to help me lose the extra
weight I've carried since the birth of my son,
keeping in mind a study Dr. Dean Edell reported
which found that people enjoy a greater health
benefit from exercise when it is something they have
fun doing. Then I discovered Zumba with Joy Smith!
Zumba is the perfect combination of fitness and
dance, and Joy is such a talented teacher, you don't
have to be a superstar dancer to get a lot out of
it. It's fast-moving and fun, and the music is so
infectious, the songs stay with you long after the
class has ended. I can't recommend Zumba enough.”
-Robyn Bortnick
“When
I took my first Zumba class, I thought I'd died and
gone to heaven. I'd been waiting all my life for
this. The music is so much fun! It makes me want to
sing and shout. The moves are ridiculously sexy, but
its an exercise class, and no one is judging me, so
I just do my best and get crazy. Within minutes, I
am sweating up a storm, but I don't want to stop,
and slowing down is really not an option. Within 2
weeks, I was really catching on, and definitely more
aerobically fit. Aside from the obvious
cardiovascular health benefit, it also allowed me to
be able to participate in various other activities
with more vigor. Use your imagination. I was even
able to run on the treadmill; something I have not
even attempted in about a year! I'm hooked, and
would recommend this to anyone who loves to dance
and wants a good work out.”

“Zumba
is the best new dance/exercise class out there! The
music is invigorating, the moves are sassy, sexy and
guaranteed to get that heart rate up! From the
moment you walk on the dance floor to for the warm
up until the cool down, it is non stop fun. You are
actually sad when the class is over! MORE ZUMBA
PLEASE!”
-Noelani Heldt
“I
LOVE IT! I took one class and became addicted to the
high energy and funky moves. My favorite part is its
style - you get to express yourself while working on
your core. Anybody can do it! It is easy to learn,
yet you sweat like CRAZY! Additionally, taking Zumba
at a dance studio is Awesome because you get to
mimic an experienced dancer, which makes your moves
look that much cooler (as opposed to taking Zumba at
the gym!).”
-Megan
“For
anyone who enjoys the upbeat tempo of Latin music
and dance along with exercise, Zumba offers all that
and more! The combination of fun, exercise and
learning is something I really enjoy. I have found
Zumba to be energizing, engaging and entertaining.
Unlike many other forms of exercise, Zumba seems to
cross all gender and age lines beautifully. Classes
I have taken included men, women in their 20's, 30's
40's, 50's and probably 70's (I was too polite to
ask), as well as children. Try it and you'll be
hooked!”
-Susan
“I've
been a dancer all of my life and I''ve tried all
kinds of workouts, but this one is my absolute
favorite because it combines dance with an excellent
over-all workout. It's the only thing that gets me
out of bed on Sunday mornings and I have a smile on
my face throughout the entire class!”
Jane Walker
“With
out a doubt, I have thoroughly enjoyed coming to the
new ZUMBA classes held at the Santa Cruz Dance
Company. I started coming about a month ago and
loved the workout after taking my first class. The
music, moves and energy make it fun & effortless but
at the end of an hour my body feels like I did a
4-mile run, without the wear and tear on my knees.
This is the reason I'm hooked on it. I love to dance
and this new 'ZUMBA-craze' makes you feel super good
every time. I highly recommend that anyone who gets
bored with regular workout routines or wants to
spice up there existing one, try ZUMBA. You won't
regret it. See you there!!!”
