As you know, I am currently working on learning choreography for my practice exam to be a Group Fitness Instructor – in particular, a Zumba instructor. One of the reasons I love Zumba is because of the Latin dancing influence. The music reminds me of the time when I used to dance Latin moves: the cha cha cha, the rhumba, the jive, the samba. I love the music; I love the rhythms; and I love the movements.
Now that I am building my own playlist and class atmosphere, I am influenced by the love of my past. My preference is to choose music with a Latin feel and the choreography I prefer embraces the merangue, the salsa, the cumbia. I do include reggaeton – but not as much as in the Zumba classes that I attend. The latest song I am learning has steps for a cha cha cha. The song is authentic and so are the movements of the following Zumba crew:
I know of a number of people who will enjoy this and I look forward to sharing it with them.
Do you enjoy dancing to the cha cha cha?

Best wishes on your Zumba travels Colline, you can’t go wrong with any Latin American music, if it doesn’t get the body moving it certainly stirs up the emotional rhythms.

It certainly does. I played the song to my husband and he could not help but start dancing 😀

I think this is a great thing to do, Colline. I used to instruct spinning at a number of gyms.

oh this is going to be great in class – and do they make this video for zumba ideas or is just a culture video of them dancing?

It is a video for Zumba class ideas. Zumba has released the track but with no choreography and a number of people share their ideas. I liked this one as the cha cha cha is really authentic.
