Sadly, AI music is totally taking over the Zumba world. I always loved using YouTube for choreography for my class. Lately, I noticed the AI music slowly creeping in but at this point it is just everywhere and even big content creators (Mark Kramer etc.) are using AI generated music. I find it so sad that the content creators lean into this trend and do not find anything wrong with using AI generated music. Beyond ethical and environmental considerations, it just sounds so generic and unimaginative. I hope that people will wake up a little eventually and realize that this is not a good thing. Anyway, if you are like me - using YouTube for your choreos but against AI music, I strongly recommend checking every song you consider before you invest your time in it.

Love the song, but why does the choreo need to be so similar to last months pop song Concentrate? Kinda annoyed, will def be making adjustments.

I've come across a few posts on this and I'm confused. Are there AI generated songs on the zin app or is this only when you're searching for choreo in other places like YouTube?

What about the songs that are exclusive Zumba songs?

I'd really rather not use AI generated music.

I think my Zumba class isn’t Zumba. I started Zumba bc I love to dance and went to classes with my mom. Now I’m at a different gym and it feels like we barely dance. We do squats a lot of marching/walking in place or just stepping side to side with generic aerobic arm movements. We did overhead presses and curls with weights today and some mat leg raises and hip thrusts. Last time we were on the mat again doing leg raises, crunches, mountain climbers, double leg stretches. I’m not a Zumba instructor though and allegedly they are certified so I wanted to get a second opinion.

I used to wear my mizuno running shoes that were a bit too big but I got rid of them and need a new pair.

AI suggested Nike SuperRep Groove which apparently is specifically designed for cardio dance workouts but it is not easy to find here in the UK.

Which shoes do you wear?

long story short. i have a zumba student/attendant that is a regular in class

thats super nice! what i find somehow uncomfortable or disruptive is that they always want to talk in class. and i dont mean between peers. i mean literally wants me to stop class just to focus all my attention on them. i politely just give a short answer or go with a simple "ah!" or "aha"

but keep it moving or just let my playlist run.

sometimes they go all the way to the front with me to tell me something. while im literally in the middle of a dance/song.

any advice?

Does anyone know where to find the Zumba choreos that were done yesterday in NYC?

I didn’t find the NuevaYol one in the Zumba teacher choreo site. I often find my fave choreos on youtube or take parts from my fave choreo from other Zumba videos from the official site.
