Have you ever been bored off your wits by the insane amount of talking that goes on around you about diets, fitness regimens, muscle weight loss and so on? Did you ever feel that to be fit, one needn’t necessarily go through so much pain and do something that leaves them aching hours after the workout? Did you ever want to just have fun and not travel hours on end to a packed gym bearing the harshness of various seasons? Well, the fun technique of Zumba is just the right match. Zumba in Delhi is a growing fad that is inching closer to mainstream attention.
Colombian Beto Perez decided to be creative and to (literally) think on the feet when he forgot his intended lesson for a class. This gave birth to the phenomenon that is Zumba, the dance workout regimen, which has been spreading ever since and finally it has hit India and Delhi and it’s rising popularity is undeniable. Boring work outs or salsa dancing to hip hop music? An easy choice really...
The aim of Zumbais to create a rhythmic dance vibe which adds a lot of fun to the exercise. The benefit stretches beyond just physical exercise. The carelessness, the rhythm and the vibe of a Zumba class encourages uplifting of one’s psyche as well. Delhi-ites are usually caught up in the fast and taxing corporate lifestyle and thus the benefits of practicing Zumba in Delhi are burgeoning.Zumba classes are often likened to a party as one’s dance skills are hardly judged and the main aim is to get as much physical work out as possible while enjoying the process.
As with any practice, India and Delhi took a while to warm to the practice of Zumba. Initially, the Delhi Dance Association (DDA) offered classes for Zumba in Delhi through trainers who were licensed by the art’s parent body Zumba LLC. Zumba classes weren’t always well attended till the advent of social media inspired people to share their experiences online. This has led to a rapid growth of attendance in Zumba classes in Delhi as people inspired by their friends’ Instagram and Twitter posts, flocked in to join these classes. Remarkably, anyone wishing to join Zumba in Delhi needs to join a waiting list now. Usually, a slot is freed up within two weeks but the very fact that the waiting list exists is a testament to Zumba’s high popularity in Delhi right now.
Zumba, like Yoga, is now also becoming a supplement to many gym memberships in the capital. The amount to be paid is hardly exorbitant and Zumba can be requested in certain gyms in addition to the current scheme at considerably cheaper rates. Gyms are realizing the potential of the dance workout and hiring trainers who are Zumba experts. Zumba is undoubtedly a great practice to freshen up your legs, stretch and shape your muscles, keep a good body shape….all while having fun in the process of doing so.
