If you live in Latin American countries, where the music artists are well known I am sure this has the same effect. Unfortunately for most non-latino people, the music does not have this associative effect. But of course the Latino moves are very seductive...thats why the Zunma is great too.
We must remember that people love musical references. When we hear our favourite dance tune, it motivates us thats why SH'Bam works.Les Mills invest a lot of money in Music Licences because they know that the well known hits get the public on the floor.
Sh'Bam is not just a Dance experience, its a whole ambiance thing. Sure, if you want to push your dance skills and work on complex moves, then Sh'Bam is not for you.
I teach both, Sh'Bam is very well attended. I say don't knock it until you try it. It's easy to be a bystander. You can not tell by watching a short video. I will say that at least les mills training guarantees a certain level of instruction, Zumba does not.
I teach both Zumba and Sh'Bam, and I prefer Zumba because I can create choreographies that are more technical or more "dancey". Zumba is more exotic, while sh'bam is more charts/top lists that might appeal to everybody. Both are good, cause they make working out fun, but sh'bam is more "aerobic-y", so to speak, whilst zumba is more dancey.
Zumba it's better and more funny, more free, more hot. The body systems' trainers don't have worth: they will never make an original choreography. Les Mill does whole job... I'd rather be free and create my own dance's steps. so, Body Jam can't win Zumba, now Body Systems creates this bad workout.
and difficult this is to cater for those who find zumba a little difficult like myself... stop being bitches whatever does it for you it's all about the instructor/teacher anyway
In all honesty there are many programs out there...I teach Body Jam, Hip Hop Hustle and Zumba...I don't care for Sh'Bam. its really a matter of the gym you work in and the type of members you have. So to compare them really isnt fair. I like that in zumba we are free to choreograph our own songs or use the choreography they send us.
Compare the members and their needs against the programs needed.
aaronne01, you must be either very jaleaous, very stupid, or not no much about dance.
how could you say that a stupid program like zumba, with latin american dance styles, is to be compared to a program like shbam, choreographed by the best choreographers in the world, with disco, hiphop, jazz, funk, house, reggeaton, oldschool, latin, and many more styles? i teach bodyjam shbam and zumba. shbam is kicking zumba's ass. in two years there will be no zumba any more. it's a hype. will be gone soon
@xxNooNxx Where is the reaggeton in sh'bam???? I teach both, and people seem to have more fun with Zumba cause there's more variety. For instance, sh'bam 4 is all about step touch, chasse/shuffle and knees. With Zumba is depends a lot on the instructor and his/her ability to both connect, entertain and create great choreographies. Zumba is all about the music and feeling. Sh'bam...is well, a watered version of BodyJam, not too many steps, and a LOT of talkingl.
@xxNooNxx And why is Zumba stupid? Are Latin American dance styles stupid??? That's ignorant and racist. Sh'Bam and Zumba are too diferent dance classes with different targes. It seems you're the stupid one.
@aaronne and @5saac it's not the same as Zumba at all. It's like apples and oranges. Both dancing. Yet totally different. If your biased bc of Zumba that's ok. I'm biased cause I teach shbam and body jam and I have yet to take a Zumba class where I burned as many calories or had as much fun as I do in either sh'bam or jam. And we also connect with our members VERBALLY and visually by facing them. Just a few tidbits. If u want to dance Latin/world only take Zumba and if u want to PARTY take sh'b
ca fait longtemps qu'elle fait le Bodyjam , elle danse trés bien.
sinon ça n'a rien a voir avec la Zumba donc c'est vraiment pas une histoire de compétition , c'est du Jam édulcoré pour ceux qui veulent commencer tranquil plutôt
I'd love to see her husband Dan do this along with her. Ha!

Why people keep watchin' vids about sh'bam if they just don't like it?
Go and watch stuff you actually líke...
It looks like fun! I don't get why it's being compared to zumba?
I'm zumba-instructor and it's like comparing apples to lemons...
But I can see the fun in this. It's simple en about having fun...
They're teaching this at another gym (not where I'm teaching)
so I think I'm gonig to try to sneak my way in there..... :-)
