To Zumba or not to Zumba

Ever feel like breaking with the crowd just because you can?  Or forgetting which way you are supposed to be going in a group?  I have been pondering the Zumba craze of late.  Hasn't it taken off like hotcakes as the senior citizens would say.  I'm no dance aficionado so I'm sure this would be me in a class.  Not that I find it distressing to be described as "one of those kids is doing his own thing" but I do find it quite annoying to be left flailing at something that I know I should never have embarked on in the first place.  I've done a little tap before and although I was clearly out of my depth (the terrible teacher didn't help but I did have excellent back-up support from a clearly dance-talented friend). I found that with a little "breaking it down" I could eventually master the tip-tap, click-clack that was supposed to be coming from my feet.  Sure, a little practice at Zumba and I'd be a salsa-shaking, fat-burning goddess, but I just don't know that I'm willing to start and regret my decision the minute my hips go in the opposite direction from my coordinated classmates.  I'll think I'll ponder it some more and look into tap lessons again.
