- What is Zumba Fitness?
Zumba Fitness® is the only Latin-inspired dance-fitness program that blends red-hot international music, created by Grammy Award-winning producers, and contagious steps to form a "fitness-party" that is downright addictive. Since its inception in 2001, the Zumba program has grown to become the world's largest – and most successful – dance-fitness program with more than 12 million people of all shapes, sizes and ages taking weekly Zumba classes in over 110,000 locations across more than 125 countries.
- Do I need to have dance training?
No. It’s set up like a fitness class and you follow along. We have 4 basic styles: Salsa, Cumbia, Regaetton, and Merengue. You learn the basics as you take the class.
- Do I sign up in advance? How do I reserve a spot?
You come to class and sign in. We do not require advanced registration.
- How will I know if I like it?
Your first trial class is free. It’s a win win!
- How do I join?
We have a liability waiver you will fill out at your first visit. We will procure your e-mail to let you in on class changes, additions, events, and the like. There are no membership fees.
- How do I pay?
We have three options. One is a drop in fee of $10. Second is a class card of ten classes for $75. Last is monthly payment of $50 and you can take all the Zumba classes you can handle!
- Why Genesis Arts LLC and not a gym?
We offer smaller class sizes than a gym and professional dancers/teachers who can break down the steps easily so you will not injure yourselves. Our director is also AFAA certified and knows how necessary it is to cater a class to the specifics of the people in the room, not just an ideal.
- What are Zumba shoes?
Zumba.com has shoes and attire for purchase through their website. We also recommend dance sneakers, lightweight tennis shoes such as Puma, and Ryka has a shoe for Zumba Fitness as well.
- What is the caloric burn for a class?
This will be client specific based upon age, health, and exertion. We find is it usually clocked at 600-1000 calories!
- What do I wear to class?
See our list above about what to wear and what to bring!
