Zumba High

It's been a week since I discovered the high-energy Zumba classes at the Dance Fitness Center at 6643 Atlanta Highway, and I'm still on a Zumba high!

It's hard to describe that Zumba high, but it goes something like this: After a long Monday at the office, you finally have a chance to stretch your joints, shake your booty, and twist your body to a jam-packed hour of cumbia beats and salsa combinations.  After class is when the high really kicks in: you get into your car, roll the sunroof and windows down, and immediately turn the radio to the pop station and start singing the new Rihanna jam at the top of your lungs.  It's like that.  Yes, I'm that crazy person singing in my car post-Zumba.  And I love it!

 

Heather and Lily are fantastic, energetic Zumba instructors who grin from ear to ear and make you shout, sweat and smile through the workout with them. I think Heather says it best on DFC's facebook page:  "This is so not exercise!! It's an hour of freedom! It's an hour at the club without all those yahoos bumping up on you! This is an hour that can make you feel like the woman you know you want to be!!! This isn't just about the calories (although, believe me, you stick with me and you will burn them off!!!), this is about making you feel better about yourself. This isn't just working on you physically, its works on you emotionally and socially. This will change your life! Spread the word and join the party!"
