Look, I love exercise, I love dance, but the way Zumba is being 'rolled out' is sinister. ~The website is very cult-like, the fees are great for the entrepreneur/owners and good on them for developing it. But some of the instructors and students are verging on the edge of obsession with regards to 'recruitment' and the number of classes you are supposed to attend in a week (for a fee of course!). I had the nerve to post this on Facebook and got referred to as a 'doubter and hater' . Proves my point about the cult thing really. I have been to a class 4 times (over 4 weeks not in one week as per some of my co-students). I find it ok, but repetitive, with my 'friends' now breaking into a Zumba dance at every opportunity - birthday parties, weddings, night at the pub. I am seeking a Zumba- free zone where I can have a sensible and itelligent conversation without the 'Z' word arising!
