Samba Pants are In!

Hello everyone!  The very awesome Zumba Samba pants are now available in the Zumba Shop online and they are hot!  Clearly I just ordered myself a pair and I wanted to share the info with you all: http://www.zumba.com/us/shop/

I will be sure to post information here in the future as soon as more samba pants become available!  Until then, check out EBay for older versions of the fantastic Zumba samba pants!  They are my favorite to dance in!!!

I’m keeping my fingers crossed for some more Zumba pants with tassels! :)

But until then, here is an idea for you all!

Yesterday, we had our Zumba for Charity Event in San Francisco to benefit the Philippines and all wanted to show our Filipino pride by wearing yellow.  So I bought ribbon and velcro and made my own yellow samba flare! Talk about spirited and creative!

Kids can Zumba, too

Wildly popular dance and fitness program teaches children healthy habits

“The concept for Zumbatomic started several years ago, explained Koh Herlong, education advisor for Florida-based Zumba Fitness, which markets the trademarked workout. Zumbatomic debuted in September at the 2009 Zumba Fitness convention in Orlando, Fla., where it was taught to around 1,000 instructors from around the world.”

Meet the Man Behind Zumba: Beto Perez – News

Meet the Man Behind Zumba: Beto Perez

He built a global empire helping people have fun and burn calories.

“It took four trips from his native Colombia to Miami before Beto Perez got his big break. The fitness and dance instructor simply wanted to bring his workout classes to America. But with little money and even less English, he couldn’t get fitness-center managers to watch his Latin-dance-inspired videos.”

Class tonight!

Hello Zumba peeps!

I’m looking forward to Zumba tonight!  We’ve got some hot new tracks that are just fabulous – they make your sweat and get down like no other.  And of course, we will be having some old school favorites (as promised to a dear Zumba friend).  As much as I love new songs and routines, there is something awesome about seeing you all rock out to the old music that you know.  I love when you can get really into a song and lost in the music :)

See you all tonight!
