Nana is a white-collar worker in the company, and the company and family are "two points and one line" all day. Five years ago, while working in Guangzhou West Tower, she came into contact with Zumba by accident. "The first time I saw Zumba, it was promoted in a gym. At that time, a little sister wore a navel-revealing coat, gorgeous clothes, cheerful music and dynamic dance steps, which was in sharp contrast with the serious working atmosphere of Xita and immediately attracted my attention. Although the young lady looks slightly fat, she is full of confidence between enjoying the state and smiling, which is the main reason why I joined. "
Now, Nana, who has danced Zumba for five years, is very satisfied with her figure and mentality: "With the cheerful music, the appeal of the coach and the blessing of beautiful clothes, I can lose weight, which makes me dance happily all the time, with a sense of accomplishment. I used to run on the treadmill for half an hour, but now I don't feel tired after dancing Zumba for two hours. This is my favorite way to sweat, and the happiness in it can't be described in words. It can only be achieved if you really jump up. "
What impressed Nana most was that she went to Shanghai to attend a party hosted by Perez on June 201KLOC-0/9. "There is a hot mom with a 1 year-old baby, a white-haired grandmother, and a beautiful woman who came from the northwest. Let's get together and dance Zumba, not to mention how happy we are, which makes you feel that music and dance can really cross age and identity.
On that day, Nana and her friends danced from morning till night. Although there were blisters on the soles of her feet, she was particularly excited: "Everyone's enthusiasm for Zumba deeply infected me!"

For her persistence all the way, Linlin thinks Zumba keeps her young. "Jumping Zumba can make people continuously produce dopamine in generate, and their physical state and mentality are better.

Zumba lover Wang came into contact with this fitness exercise two years ago and was still impressed by the initial experience: "At first, my hands and feet were completely uncoordinated. After dancing for a while, you can keep up with the coach's rhythm, and sometimes you enter a state of ecstasy. When the music started, I closed my eyes and danced while singing, which was very enjoyable. "
In the process of dancing Zumba, Wang believes that the greatest gain is self-liberation. "The traditional Chinese dance I understand is more subtle and feminine, while Zumba is more open. Zumba is popular because I feel that everyone can jump up happily in a warm atmosphere, stretch their bodies and minds, and communicate with each other. We are not only individuals, but also show ourselves in a broader environment. "
Lin Lin also agrees with this feeling: "Zumba is a completely personalized release, allowing people to enjoy this process of self-relaxation."

What Linlin conveyed to Zumba girls most was self-confidence: "Self-confidence is the source of all beauty. The most I say to students is' Even if I can't dance well, my mother is still the most beautiful in the world', which means I hope they will always be' full of energy' on stage, at work and in life.
