Zumba at The Hills! Authentic, Never-Before-Published Video of Real People Moving Their Bods!

Want to see some sexy dancing? My favorite Zumba teachers and their fast-footed Zumba students show their stuff on a video recorded by Jon on Memorial Day. As you can see, Zumba is for anyone who likes music and anyone who likes to move. Swivel hips an asset, but not required.

    Your pictures are great and I’d love to see the dancers in action! When done with proper vigor, Zumba dancing can give you a burn to last all day and is so much fun. I love the endorphin rush!

      Hey, Jeanie. I didn’t know you Zumba’d. Next time I visit, we can do a Zumba class instead of climbing Old Baldy.

    Barbara, are those your pictures? They really nice. Hard to get so many people who are moving in sharp focus.

      Jon took the pictures. It was a sunny day and our camera is so good at focusing, etc., that I have become a lazy photographer, letting it do all the work.
