You made it so easy for a person like me who literally has never danced in life. I recently have joined a Zumba class n I couldn't move at all. I felt like I am a wooden log tied up in many shackles.... After watching this video some of the shackles have definitely been broken. 😉

[@marneeklintworth9300]

I was so embarrassed to dance in public, I started hanging at the back of the class & realized I was massively distracted by other dancers. Move to the front, you'll have fun. Watch instructors hand signals & if you don't get that- watch your instructors feet. You'll get the hang of it very quickly - see even if you make a mistake, make light of it, smile & laugh. You'll enjoy it even more. You don't need to memorize the steps, but if you keep your ears open you'll follow things fairly easily - have fun. I'm over 50 and when I watched a local Zumba class I realized I used to do these dances (in my twenties) but was drunk. If I could do it then I can surely do it now with a bit more life experiences. The words that I live by are; "Every day is a zumba day"! Smile, laugh & enjoy!

[@wendyhannan2454]

I love this, I did aerobics decades ago, now I’m 76 and I want to get back into it. Thank you, your never to old to have a go. 😉

[@sherylmiglio9624]

I'm happy to find and meet you Wendy here. I'm 76 also with love of aerobics I also did in Silver Sneakers from age 63 to age 74 in Florida. Now I can't do that where I live now so I'm trying Zumba instead.

[@wendyhannan2454]

@@sherylmiglio9624 hi there

[@wendyhannan2454]

@@sherylmiglio9624 Hi Sheryl, I think once you’re done aerobics you certainly can do Zumba, as it’s very similar. We just need a suitable class for our age group, water aerobics are very good as well. I’d love to meet you at a class, but I’m in Melb Australia 🇦🇺🐨 cheers, Wendy 😉

[@zephaniahsupangan4119]

Our P.E. Teacher made me watch this😄

[@MinieMinarelli]

Good to know! ☺️☺️

[@yuka_xkendouri]

Same here our teacher made us to do a zumba video so im here to watch..

[@marneeklintworth9300]

Good! Teaches you the basics, good cardio & exercise. It can be fun if you just sing along, you'll be familiar with the songs very quickly. Enjoy!

[@amyebert7995]

I LOVE Zumba and wish I would have found this video before I started classes....I so get it now! I just wish live classes would come back in my city!

[@sallydeppe8575]

Finally a BEGINNER teacher that shows beginners easy, slow, only a couple steps. It's easier for beginners WITHOUT MUSIC at first. Thank u.

[@reginajones27]

I love this Zumba video. I did not realize how easy it is to do the dance steps like the Merengue, etc. I would love to see more Zumba videos!

[@karenwongify]

Super nice ! Cha cha cha ! 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻

[@SamuelKeaton]

Thank you for the Zumba step Lessons. I’m 73 and have just started Zumba at our local community hall. I love it!

[@MinieMinarelli]

Aww, that's great!! Enjoy it :-)

[@lubazeltov7802]

This is just incredible! Thank you so much! It is so very helpful! ❤️

[@tuananhtran9788]

How lucky I am ! I am beginner , know nothing about Zumba. When I watch this, I find it easy to learn. It thanks to the teacher ‘s inspiration . Thanks so much

[@MinieMinarelli]

Thank you!! :-)

[@dthomas4501]

Just starting Zumba at home. I used to be a nice dancer but at age 77 I seem to have lost a bit of coordination. I'm going to get it back using Zumba with your help

[@MinieMinarelli]

Aww, thank you so much! Consider that, every time I take a brief holiday, I too feel like I lost my coordination! 😱 It will come back, don't worry!

[@sarahmoolla2262]

Amazing - love Zumba but have been struggling with the steps a little - so this step-by-step (forgive the pun!) is super helpful! Thank you!

[@MinieMinarelli]

You got this! :-)

[@sheilasmith5323]

This was so good! Loved all the moves broken down slowly so they make sense❤️

[@suprithashanmugam3224]

What a great Zumba Instructor you are😍.... U sliced and diced every style and made easy to follow!!! Kudos 🥳🥳🥳

[@MinieMinarelli]

Thank you so much!

[@leewyser3203]

Thank you so much. I have been struggling with Zumba. A client told me Zumba is definitely not for me but I would love to teach each just to see those smiles and happy faces. I need a lot of practice. But thank you for you!!!

[@MinieMinarelli]

Zumba is somehow a language itself: the Latin rhythms, the moves, the vibes, the steps and variations...and like every language it does require practice: it might take you longer than what it takes to other people, but this doesn't mean that you won't get there. Keep going, Lee!

[@huevuong9682]

Thank you so much for your instructions. I hope that I'll be able to follow your steps!

[@hoofheartedicemelted296]

Extremely well explained 👏 I think a lot of people misunderstand, so you have provided a gift to Zumba and to it's potential practitioners.😊👍

[@nightmaresxdaydreams]

Thank you so much I'm a chronic over thinker and this slowed things down enough for my mind to catch up. The time stamp are chefs kiss I went back to each until I felt comfortable before moving on.

[@user-ek7zt7lh5s]

Great video! Thanks so much for the content!

[@mandykrieger3494]

Excellent instructions I am already pretty good at Zumba moves as I use to go to a zumba gym but with this pandemic and being stuck at home 😔 I stopped being motivated to workout so my hubby said he would do zumba with me 😄 However he struggles with the moves he is not as much a dancer as I am. So I found this video and it's the best so far I've found and it is really helping him to enjoy the workout more with me instead of being frustrated cuz he can't keep up. He is now enjoying workouts with me in the morning, thanks a lot for this.

[@MinieMinarelli]

So sweet of your husband to support you to get motivated and do Zumba together 💕! During the lockdown in Sydney I too convinced my hubby to do some Zumba with me! Here's the choreography that he accepted to do: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZnPdhKZtgr6tY7s Let me know how you guys do! 😄😄

[@mandykrieger3494]

@@MinieMinarelli Thanks chica for the reply so sweet of you and I'll definitely check out the link. ☺ Hubby is starting to laugh and have fun with it now...it's not about perfection it's about perspiration and making working out fun not tread mill boring. 😉 He's getting it...Sounds like you got a good hubby too who supports you as well, we are truly lucky ladies then count our blessings 🙌
