Ay Ceramba...

Doing it and not looking like a complete flid, that's hard

Yes, that was very funny. You need to get your hip action going, dear...it's all in the hips!

I've had a go at Zumba, I don't know what all the fuss is about.
It's not that hard.

I suspect I'll somehow muddle through.

Just coz you lot haven't seen me do any Latin dancing the past few years, doesn't mean I'm completely incompetent at it, you know?

and of course Lycra is an absolute MUST.

Actually, I'm pretty sure I don't have anything lycra. The last time I wore lycra dancing was the 24-hour Ceroc marathon in the early nineties.

I plan to try Zumba

So, did you make it to the Zumba class? We'll need video evidence, obviously.

I did. Quite invigorating actually, but the whole concept is, as I thought, marketing rubbish dressed up as a coherent style. Salsercise / sambacise, basically.

I felt I'd earned my cooked brekkie that day though.

We'll need video evidence, obviously.

If you're that desperate to perve, I understand there's a thing called the internet which has occasionally had unsavoury material.

This WCS / Samba video posted by Caro reminded me of this.

Having seen it on DVD it is perfectly reasonable. It isn't really a swing dance with some elements of samba added like the above.



It is pure latin samba, except for a couple of travelling returns, thown in to reposition from the end of one move to beginning of the next.

Which probably saves having to teach difficult transitions between moves, and gives a bit of recovery time.
