What is Zumba?

I have seen bits and pieces and I  looked it up online, but I figured I'd try to get some opinions on it. My mom wants me to go with her to a Zumba class and I have no idea what to expect. What should I wear? (My mom has never been either so she's no help.)

    It's basically just a dancing work out. I have it for the Wii and I've been to a couple of classes, but I love it. It's fun and you definitely get a work out! I would just wear whatever you are comfortable working out in. It takes some time to learn the steps and get the hang of it, but no matter how terrible you are it's still a ton of fun.

    A lot of people love it and swear by it.  I'm not a group class person personally, (not just because of the group, generally I just don't like those types of exercises) but it certainly sounds like it'd be worth a try.  Especially if you like music and dancing.

    I love Zumba! I prefer going to the group classes because I don't want to stop. If I am at home I can easily hit pause or just stop it when I want to give up. I always walk out sweating so I wear a tank top and yoga pants.

    It is important to get an instructor you like. I have been to classes where the instructor was lame and therefore the class was lame. If you get a good instructor with lots of energy and great routines it can be lots of fun!

    I've never tried it before, but my school is offering it for free for the first time this semester.  I've heard nothing but great things about it from the gals I go to church with, so I'm excited to try it for myself (even though I'm the world's most uncoordinated person AND the worst dancer ever).

    Zumba is latin dancing for white women, lol. Seriously, I couldn't dance to save my life before I started zumba, now I'm half decent so long as its a song from a class, lol.

    Also,  your first class you'll feel like you suck. This is because each song has the same moves every week, so other people in the class already know the moves. After a few weeks, you'll look just like them ;)

    It's Latin dance meets cardio. You'll look awkward doing it but so will everyone else, and it's fun!
