has anyone tried zumba? I would need to start with the begginers, but I am too cheap to just buy it without knowing if I would like it and there are no classes near me.

I do Zumba about once or twice a week, love it! If you like dancing, especially latin style dancing, then you'll like Zumba.

One thing I really love is whether you are a beginner or a more experienced dancer you can get something out of it. I danced when I was younger (ballet, pointe, jazz, tap) and I use this to work on my form. And it still gets my heart pumping strong!

zumba is super fun if you like latin dancing.

It is going to be offered at my gym - so thanks for asking about it! It sounds like a blast. My gym also offers a line of classes like bodypump and bodyattack. I really like bodypump and will let you know how zumba turns out!

i've done it, it's a ton of fun!
i've both rented DVD's < fun!
& tried a class... the class i didn't like much because i couldn't see the instructors (i was in the backrow)
but if you like to dance it's a blast.

I haven't tried it but there is a health fair in our area this month at which they have a section where you can try it out. Maybe look if they have something in your area too.
