What Is Zumba? Zumba is aerobics to swinging Latin American music. All the different Latin American dance styles, Salsa, Samba, Merengue, Cuba, Calypso, Reggaeton and Hiphop, encourage you to move your body. And although you're doing a serious workout that's not the way it feels.Zumba is different! Classic fitness and group lessons often contain a series of repetitive movements. This repetition - albeit at different frequencies - soon leads to boredom. The dynamic Zumba Fitness programme is very varied, and the alternation between quicker and slower songs gives you time to recover. Zumba is effective! After just a couple of Zumba classes you'll already feel that Zumba has had an effect on your stamina. Because whichever way you look at it: it is and remains a workout. One of Zumba's great strengths is that your whole body is exercised: your legs are constantly moving thanks to the basic steps. Your arms join in once you know the exercises which means the rest of your body follows. Zumba means building stamina and losing weight! Burning fat and building muscle is the way to losing weight and toning the body for a lot of people. The big advantage of Zumba is that your muscles won't ache as much or at all after exercising because you can follow your own tempo. What Do People Say About Zumba?Zumba is a fitness party!

BalletBallet is a formalised type of performative dance, which originated in sixteenth- and seventeenth-century French courts, and which was further developed in England, Italy, and Russia as a concert dance form. The early performances preceded the intervention of the proscenium stage and were presented in large chambers with most of the audience seated on tiers or galleries on three sides of the dancing floor. The early ballet dancers were not as highly skilled as they are now. It has since become a highly technical form of dance with its own vocabulary. It is primarily performed with the accompaniment of classical music. It has been influential as a form of dance globally and is taught in ballet schools around the world, which use their own cultures and societies to inform the art. Ballet dance works (ballets) are choreographed, and also include mime, acting, and are set to music (usually orchestral but occasionally vocal). |

Hip Hop |
||
Hip hop is a cultural movement which developed in New York City in the early 1970s primarily among African Americans and Latin Americans. Hip hop's four main elements are MCing (often called rapping), DJing, graffiti writing, and breakdancing. Other elements include beatboxing, hip hop fashion, and slang. Since first emerging in the Bronx, the lifestyle of hip hop culture has spread around the world. When hip hop music began to emerge, it was based around disc jockeys who created rhythmic beats by looping breaks (small portions of songs emphasizing a percussive pattern) on two turntables. This was later accompanied by "rapping" (a rhythmic style of chanting). An original form of dancing, and particular styles of dress, arose among followers of this new music. These elements experienced considerable refinement and development over the course of the history of the culture. |
