Zumba is really all about having fun while working all areas of your body to become more physically fit. Classes start with a warm-up intended to get the body ready for exercise. You then move into a series of easy to follow dance moves choreographed specifically to each song. You will be moving forward and back, stepping side to side, turning, kicking and even doing some balance work. You are actually working all of your muscles all of the time. It works all parts of your body. This is a great workout that can help you reach your fitness goals. Even if you think you can’t dance, in no time you will be moving and following Pierre’s expert instruction in a high energy workout while having fun.

Pierre Fitzenberger is a professional dance instructor with Fred Astaire Dance Studio in Ridgefield, CT. He teaches to all levels from beginner to competing high level dance students. You can expect to come as a beginner and learn the choreographed steps or have a high energy, calorie burning workout where you can burn between 360 and 532 calories in an hour of fast dancing, according to Harvard Health Publications. Classes are open to all and there is a $15.00 drop in fee per class. You may also purchase a block of classes for a discounted price at the studio.
