Fitness classes

Zumba techniques

1. Understand the connotation of music

Relax your mind and body, feel the emotions expressed by the music, and understand the unique rhythm. Only by understanding music can we perform the most appropriate movements.

3. Maximize the range of movements

During practice, you can first maximize the range of dance movements as much as possible. After repeated practice, find the feeling of body control in music. If you can't let go and the range of movements is too small, it will run counter to the passion and temptation that Zumba overflows with.
