The 90 minutes Non-Stop Zumba Party is hosted by Paragon Fitness at Grand Paragon Hotel, Johor Bahru. It is the first biggest Zumba party in Malaysia. There are around 400 dancers from all the regions. I met some dancers from Indonesia, Philippine, Singapore and United State. The hall is always full with passion energy. Even though, it is my first time dance Zumba. I can just join the crowd easily.

Zumba dance is quite easy. It does not require much strong ballet technique. You can just gently swing your hip in the latin move. Next prepare for some karate kick. HAAAA~~~

Even the MC said great dance.

Zumba fitness is suitable for all body shapes, ages and genders. We can just dance it out with any outfit we want.

Two handsome Zumba dance instructors. They are Zin Deno Au Yew Jung (left) and Zes David Velez (right). We have a great workout with David flying all the way from California. The instructors really guide us well. I was more amazed by Deno Au's dance movement. His Latin movement is very dynamic with sexiness. I wish I can dance like him. He really dances it with full passion.

After the work out,
Tyng: So, can you remember the choreography
Ler: Errrr.......
Tyng: O.o So what do you remember?
Ler: I can remember the jumping pose with one hand up, then riding house pose. Can't really remember. I really need the music to recall some movement.

All fitness or dance require consistent practice. After the party, I have some soreness on my shoulders. However, my floppy arm is more firm now. I need to practice more often to maintain the good figure.

Congratulation to Ms. Chan. She is officially a certified ZIN. ~~ZIN mean certified Zumba instructor.~~
Updated: ZIN means ZUMBA instructor network. It is only catered to licensed Zumba instructors.
