Some questions about zamba dance class??

Question

I'm going to a zamba dance class tonight for the first time and I just wanted to kind of know what to expect. How should I dress?? What kind of shoes should I wear?? Will I be sweating?? Thanks!!

Answer 1

I went to a zumba dance class.  I wore sweatpants- like capris and a T'shirt.  If it's the same type of workout - it is very high impact.  Lots of jumping, turning, walking forward and back real fast - very fast paced.  We did it to Spanish type, fast-pase music. I may go again tomorrow night.  It was alot for me who hasn't done high impact in years - but I tried to keep up with the rest of the class and probably overtaxed myself the first time.  I felt real good afterwards.....like I really worked out.  If I go tomorrow, I may only do 45 minutes instead of 60.  At some points during the xlass, I just moved my arms and stood there.....real heavy duty but good.  Excellent way to lose weight.  I wore teniis shoes - that was ok and I was sweating
