I agree that if you really hate dancing, you will hate Zumba. That is, after all, what it is, but I think on air they actually concentrate TOO MUCH on professional dancing. In fact a few days ago I posted something to this effect on the QVCUK Facebook page and there were quite a few other FB people who agreed with me. While it's all very nice to have professional world-class dancers demo-ing it, it is likely (with their perfect lines and perma-smiles) to put a lot of people off on the grounds that they will not be 'good enough'. This is not the case and, indeed, is completely against the ethos of Zumba. Zumba is about having a good time, moving in your own style and not worrying about how perfect you look.While I quite like Matthew and Enrico as people, I don't think they are the best examples to the unitiated. Their on-air instructions to the presenters aren't very clear either and they are in no way as simple to follow as the ones on the DVD. No-one ever makes mention of the three-step method for learning the steps. These start out simply and slowly and gently build up. I wish they'd have a presenter learn on-air from following the DVD instructions, not the live ones in the studio. Anyway, as I say, there was quite a bit of agreement on the FB page. So I was intrigued to see whether any of this had been taken note of with the latest presentation. To be fair, either someone at QVC, or perhaps Anna herself, seemed to have because they were spending a lot of time talking about the fun, the fact that it is about movement and that it doesn't matter one jot if you don't resemble a great dancer at any point. And it made a real change to get a bit nearer to the 'real' Zumba. So I did comment on this on the FB page and congratulate Anna on a good job. And, again, others agreed. It may have been entirely coincidence, but whatever, at least it was better than usual.What bothers me is they keep saying on QVC you don't have to a dancer. Well no you don't but if you don't like dancing or you're unco-ordinated it's not going to be easy. If you can dance or enjoy dancing you're more likely to stick at it. Two left feet and it's going to be a slog.
Yes, our teacher wears the official Zumba stuff too.
I keep telling newbies who turn up to the class looking frightened. We all just stand round chatting before it starts. Okay, its not a dance competition. The teacher just tells everyone, have fun and enjoy yourself. Oh, she does turn her back, which confused some who also turned around!!!!:doh: And she counts too, brilliant for steps.
Oh boy, I sweat actually having to wipe the back of my hair with a tissue.
