I am so addictive to Zumba but do not have time to fit a class in so I normally do the Kinect until I found your routines here. I love your energy & music! Please keep the videos coming!!!! I now do a combination of both during the week. Exercising is soooo much fun now. (:
This is very similar to the routine we use in the class I am currently taking. Not a huge fan of the Beto routine. This song is the highlight of class for sure.
I don't care what anyone else says you are adorable and your routine is great!!! Don't let anyone elses words get you down they are just jealous that they are not as creative as you are. Chin up Sister :)
I am beginning to think that if Beto jumped off of a cliff so would 80% of Zumba instructors!!! LOL!!! Dude...my routine isn't that different from what he did! Apparently it was a very unwise decision on my part to jump on doing this routine. I saw the actual video when it leaked...saw it once and went off of what I could remember. If you look at the upload dates you will see mine was a day or two before the actual video! But dang...I need thicker skin...this makes me sad!!!!
@ZumbaLikeItsHot one of the things i teach in my classes is respect towards other intructors and specially if they are subbing for me. Instructors are like books they always have something new you can learn. There's no wrong or right there's just different. Great job on your routine the backgroung lights are gorgeous!
@ZumbaLikeItsHot Ummm yeah you're wrong. Your routine is VERY different! Guess what? I LOVE IT! I like when people modify routines. Even when I'm working out alone I change up my instructors routines. Keep doing what you're doing <3
I always love seeing the different routiens. (: I'm in a zumba class and we do it differently but the same at the same time. And I really like what you do with it So I have been downloading music and triyng to take pieces of each routine to create my own in a way so i can excersise at home (:
A lot of hot responses for this video!!!! But like mentioned before what I LOVE about Zumba is that every instructor is sooooo different and Zumba gives you the flexibility to be as creative as you want to be. Latin dance is ALL about feeling the music, not AFAA regulations. Zumba obviously is inspired by Latin music so it shouldn't and couldn't be regulated in the same way as a step aerobics or kick boxing class! Haters will hate; Love the video and your studio. :)
Hi! Thank you for your lovely routine to Pause, when I saw Beto's original I thought " how is this going to work for my students?" but I think yours will work a lot better, apart from the "bum's up" that I may go back to the original drop. Thanks again, love your energy, very contagious! ;0) Carolina
@carogbarker Well thanks so much :) This is one of the class faves! They are always asking for it...I hope that your class enjoys it just as much! I appreciate your compliments!
I imagine that people in your class modify your moves to make them less/more intensive-- I like your half-way booty drop- because if someone wants to go all the way, of course they can! I just have to say, have the critics who commented on this video ever seen a ZIN video? Your moves don't seem at all intense or dangerous or anything- they're just like moves that Beto does. BUT if it weren't for the haters, I wouldn't have commented. Often, the bad in some people brings out the good in others!
@WorldViajante1 You are certainly right! I have seen some extremely intense stuff on my ZIN material...things that I wouldn't do, but that doesn't make it wrong or bad...haters are out there everywhere...and we just have to learn to live with them. But, I love your positive outlook on those so called haters...sometimes they bring out the good...I think that is a wonderful way to look at it :) Thank you!!!
How awesome that you get to use such a big facility! I love your moves! I really like the more "ab-intensive' routines, and your moves seem much more ab intensive than the original moves to this song. LOVE LOVE LOVE your creativity and energy!! My Zumba instructor is like that, which is why she also packs her classes out every time. ZUMBA LOVE!!!
@AndiReese Thank you thank you!! I love hearing positive feedback :) Yes, I am certainly very grateful for getting to use such a large place with an amazing sound system and all of the party lights. We have so much fun! It sounds like you have found yourself a great Zumba class to go to! YAY!! Thanks again for your lovely comments...I appreciate it :) TONS!
oh wow! now this looks like the Zumba FITNESS that i know and love...wow! awesome..being a veteran and long time fitness fanatic..we are talking 30 years...um rockfit..um i hate to say..if you are going to grumble about this...um what rock have you been hiding under? get real..This is a fine example of what Zumba Fitness is really about...maybe you need to stick to teaching some low impact aerobics...i have done tons of those too! boooring! Zumbalikesitot...keep on rockin..you are awesome!
@GeminiAngelArt And that is what keeps those peeps coming back :) Unfortunately there are a lot of "critics" out there that really like to stir up trouble ;) It's okay...just part of the world we live in. Thanks again so much GeminiAngelArt...you are so flippin great with all of these nice things that you have to say! YAY...so glad you like my Zumba flava :)
@ZumbaLikeItsHot yeah it's the critics that keep us on our toes and keep us trying harder! you have a fun and energetic style..i just love it! I hope you keep on posting videos too...i just love them all! so inspiring! I did my training a month ago..but due to crazy life and grandbaby coming into this world..not much time for practicing my Zumba choreo...however watching vids like yours keep the spark alive! giant hugs to you! angela
@GeminiAngelArt Big hugs back to you Angela :) Your comments have been great to read, they make perfect sense to me! And yes, the critics have certainly kept me on my toes, you are right! Congrats on the upcoming arrival of you grandbaby! That is so very exciting! I will keep workin on new stuff so keep those eyes peeled. ;) Thanks again, I look forward to hearing from you again Angela!
@ZumbaLikeItsHot i wanted to add...during my training our trainers...one that were part of the original Zumba upsurge..so they have been doing this a loooong time..any how they asked who came from a dance background and who came from a fitness back ground and expressed that some of us from the fitness background might have a fit over some of the moves due to their certifications in the that moves may seem unsafe but due to cultural reasons the moves are in there. yours are much like the training
You have your own style and aren't afraid to be creative with moves. The beauty of Zumba is that we are all different; how boring if we all used the same standard moves. Beto encourages us all to be creative. I'm sure AFAA would not approve of MANY moves I see on youtube. This routine is just fine and can be modified if necessary. Keep up the good work and ignore the haters. Your energy is better spent on more creativity than focusing on negative people.
@regencyzumba1 ...You have no idea how much this message just warmed my heart! Thank you so very much for sharing your thoughts on my version of "Pause." You are exactly right...Beto does encourage us to be creative...and be ourselves. If they wanted all Zumba instructors to be carbon copies of one another, I would think they would give us blueprints to follow ;) Unfortunately, there is a lot of unnecessary hatred goin on in the Zumba world....makes me sad. But thanks again, you made my day :)
And for the record pretty sure she has the BIGGEST zumba class around here, so she must know what shes doing,thats right she is that AWESOME!!! She makes people feel welcome no matter wheather you can dance or not (unlike others) so yea Zumba is for everyone. If you are an instructor, you can take alot of pointers from her!!! Have a fantastic day
@rockit1715...WOW and NOT in a good way!!! As if you are the least bit concerned with her or her students. She knows what shes doing as far as the criteria that zumba has her follow, so you need to quit running your mouth about stuff you dont know anything about. As for the "Beto Version" have u really watched how much strain this routine puts on your body.
Just because someone else has done similar moves, it doesn't mean that you have executed them correctly....body alignment, unsupported forward flexion, hyperextension of the knees....you just don't get it!
WOW!!!!! And not in a good way! I am shocked at your use of what AFAA would consider contraindicated fitness moves! Seriously.....you should really consider taking the AFAA Primary Group Fitness certification before you seriously injure yourself and your students. The goal of Zumba is that it should be for everyone, but after seeing this I seriously doubt that you understand the Zumba formula and/or it's criteria!
@rockfit1715 Hi there...I appreciate you taking the time to leave your thoughts on my version of the "Pause" routine. My class knows the modified moves if they have any problems with any of the movements that I may be doing in any particular routine. I KNOW the Zumba formula's criteria...the moves that I did different from Beto's, the creator of Zumba, routine are moves that I have done in other fitness classes and have seen done in other Zumba videos as well. Thanks for your opinion though.
@ZumbaLikeItsHot i was taught that creativity was part of the soul of Zumba Fitness ( and some of the moves in trainig were more than this)and was highly encouraged to be creative and add my own flavor..please keep on doing what you are doing...and like i said as a ling time workout fanatic..trainer..etc...your moves are fun and creative...and i am sure as an instructor during a class that you would let your peeps know modifications. Your style is fun and very contagious....i wish i could come!
@GeminiAngelArt I don't know where my last message went...hmm?? Yes, during my cert. and also during Jam Sessions, it was expressed how important it is to be yourself. To do what you love and put your own flavor on it! This is what I do...my passion and my love for this radiates through me during class and each of the people that come can see it and feel it **see next message** ;)
@zumbawithlinda1 Thank you very much Linda...I have had a bit of feedback of people disapproving of my tweeking, but I have bad knees from playing soccer and that "drop" that they do in the video puts too much pressure on them ;) So I did a lil bit of my own thing! I really appreciate your feedback...thanks a bunch Linda!!!!
@ZumbaLikeItsHot I agree; better than the video; but I could not do the 'booty drop bounce' to the floor. My class would not go with that as i have a lot of well....'Seniors' in the class. but they want nothing to do with Zumba Gold so they take the regular Zumba class. they are die hards yet still a bit old fashioned!
Ive done this differently!!!
