Q: What should I wear to my Zumba® class?

This is the 6th question of my “Ask Aimee” blog series.

Since I’m a Zumba instructor, I get a lot of general questions about Zumba and what to wear to my Zumba® class, is a very popular one.

You can wear anything that is loose and comfortable. Some of my students wear regular sweat pants and fun T-shirts, others wear fashionable clothing that they bought at the Zumba® online store.

I love pink and burgundy, and it shows in what I wear to my classes (see the picture below). The black cargo pants, t-shirt and sneakers are items, I bought at the Zumba® online store.

For shoes, I recommend you get shoes that will enable you to slide and turn smoothly.

Regular aerobics or running shoes are built to grip the ground and will not allow you to make turns smoothly.

The Official Zumba online store sells beautiful and very colorful shoes that are made specifically for moving in Zumba class, or you can also get regular dancing shoes that are also great for sliding and making turns.

You can get dancing shoes at any dancing school or you can also buy them through Amazon.

If you don’t have the money to buy Zumba shoes or dancing shoes, then here’s a little trick that a lot of dancers use.

You can use your regular sneakers and get some heavy duty packing tape and tape the bottom of your sneakers. Make sure to stick the tape to the toe area of the sneakers. This trick will allow you to slide make turns smoothly.

Below is a quick video from the fabulous Gina Grant and Tanya Beardsley, answering frequently asked questions about Zumba and one of the questions asked is, what do I wear to a Zumba class?

If you really want to get into the Zumba® fashion, you can purchase Zumba® wear that is comfortable and really cool at the official Zumba online store.
