The class started with a warm-up, followed by a series of dance moves set to upbeat music. I quickly realized that Zumba is not just a workout – it's a party!

Overcoming Challenges

As a beginner, I faced a few challenges. I had to learn new dance moves, keep up with the pace, and build my stamina. But with each class, I improved and gained more confidence. The supportive environment and the encouragement from the instructor and classmates made it easier to push through the tough moments.
