When i was younger i danced as sport! I start taking hiphop classes (new school version) and then i became part of a group. It was very funny and interesting!! A lot of coordenation is needed, but with some training and groove you can reach it, and you can get hoocked on for sure! I have also experienced tango argentino for a year, that is a completly different style, but also incredible!!

Zumba in my opinion it’s a fusion of african dance, latin and hiphop! The hip is requested a lot. I prefer seeing girls dancing it, because it’s a sensual dance!! Dance it’s a wonderfull mood booster, everyone should try it, and repeat it!!

I have ever danced Zumba but I think that I wouldn´t like it because I don’t get hooked on dance. I’m not a preppy and active person so dancing doesn’t is a mood booster for me.
