This instructor is likely a Certified Group Fitness Instructor. Safety is key. Wrong body mechanics and you have knee and back injuries. And the room used is carpeted. For one, the wrong shoes can stick to carpet and torque a knee out pretty good. Also, as others have said, this could be a Gold class or a warm up. Warm ups are VERY important. This teacher's class would not be Zumba but a cardio fit if all or most of her songs were of this variety and not majority of Latin based.
Personally ..I think it's great...some people in the classes may be dance challenged..so easy choreograpy is perfect...give everyone an easier opportunity to learn the dances and enjoy them without getting frustrated.
I love this!!!!!! Don't listen to them its amazing and funky!! Yes its not salsa or latin but its something different and creative i joined in in my living room :-D x
Reguarding the comments below. That is why we decided to offer a ZUMBA Alternative. We call it Rhythm Cardio Remix. Zumba is changing it's dance guidelines tio be more uniform from my understanding. Check out our channel We are a little more hip-hop and cardio dance than Zumba. Zumba is great and we love it. But it is nice to diversify. Again.. Check out GRDanceFItness Channel. We would love your comments and subscriptions. As for this Video.. It looks FUN!!!
That's not Zumba. It's just aerobics. Zumba is nothing but taking latin music and turning it to an aerobics dance class with a fancy name. Brilliant idea but it has been done before it was labeled Zumba.
Zumba is a fitness program where 70% of the rhythms should be a mix of Latin rhythms and the other 30% instructor's choice: local hits, local rhytms. Choreographies are also instructor's choice. Zumba instructors are not obliged to follow any specific choreographies.
This is NOT ZUmba, this is boring aerobic with too low bpm......Terrible! To call it Zumba you need to use 3 or 4 Zumba core steps to call it Zumba..OMG
i agree, but doing zumba on carpet can be really tough on your knees! wearing tennies or even aerobic dance shoes while twisting and turning on carpet can cause damage!
You are so boring!! Zumba class is dance, only dance, funny!! Please, take dance class and be more funny!! "If you can walk, you can dance" (african proverb).
@TheFitnessDiva : I totally agree with TheFitnessDiva! This is really not Zumba, please don't call it that... do you even know what it is? If you think this is Zumba (this is more aerobic to me) you are really missing out on things!
Zumba is supposed to be 70% international rhythms/30% "fun" or pop or American stuff...she used appropriate choreo. for this song, which is innately a slower rhythm. Good for after a fast song or Zumba Gold.
....wow. I just love (sarcasm) the negativity of people. I too wonder if those criticizing have had the guts to post THEIR original choreo. and if you have-I hope hat no one reciprocates with the same neg feedback. I think it's a great warm up or way to whine down a bit. Maybe it IS Zumba Gold-maybe it's not. Regardless it's hard work to come up with your own choreo and have the guts to post it for people to learn and appreciate. Nicely done girl. *smiles~Fabi*
Very nice. I think this would be a great warm up or, since Zumba IS an interval class, it would be a nice way to dial down the intensity in the middle of class before you crank it up again. Nice job Flygirl2007. One wonders if those with such strong negative opinions have every posted their original choro on Youtube? Something to ponder.
This is nothing like the zumba i do, not much of a workout either just looks like a bad exercise video. The only good thing about it is the music i could listen to MJ all day. Sorry
i guess its ok if you haven't done any exercise for years, but to me this would just be boring. Zumba is crossed with salsa so there should be plenty of hip movement going on which in turn will strengthen your tummy muscles and slim your waist down. Unfortunatley i really cant see much is gonna happen doing this video. If you type in zumba in the search box and go to the third one down by napapana i think it is that is a much better example. Any way good luck
Zumba incorporates MANY different dance styles, not just salsa. In fact, Beto (the founder) has used country style dance in his routines. As for this particular video, no, it may not be the "Zumba" you are used to but then again maybe she uses it as a warmup. Some Zumba instructors use strictly Latin moves and music while others will take advantage of the 30% that can be their choice.
THUMBS UP to this zumba instructor--she is teaching perfectly to protect the knees and ankles of the class while they get a great workout on carpet!!!! Love it!
I get so sick of ppl who think they need to be Zumba police.

I agree... Zumba is a dance inspired fitness program where you are encouraged to choose your own tracks and put your own flare to them...
Thats what this looks like to me... Not every track has to be Salsa or Reggae... I cant wait to drop an MJ track into my class :)

Sorry... it just doesn't look very "Zumba" to me, and I've seen a ton of styles from Salsa to Reggae. This is just regular aerobics.
Still a ton of fun, I'm sure, and I love her energy, but it's SO not Zumba.
