Zumba besties are friends for life – By Madhura Chakrabarty

Zumba is a great way to connect with people. Zumba can not only be your favourite workout but can also be a commonplace for making wonderful friendships. It is believed that if you do Zumba together you can be friends for life; hence Zumba besties are always special. “We dance together, party together, laugh together and stay fit together”. I have been into Zumba for a pretty long time and the vibe I feel in a Zumba class is unmatchable to any other social gathering. I feel accepted, the fellow students introduce themselves automatically, there’s not much need of any ice-breaking session, because Zumba does that for you. We reveal a side of ourselves in these classes which we don’t readily show to others except for clubbing with friends and Zumba sessions are pretty much similar to clubbing with your Zumba friends. This blog will accentuate on the tagline “Zumba besties are friends for life”. Here are some points that are a summation of two years of my Zumba journey.

1. It’s a social gathering
   Zumba lets you meet different kinds of people from different walks of life. The amazing part is you all have one thing in common and that’s “love for Zumba”. This passion for dance will surely bring you, your fellow Zumba mates and your Zumba instructor together.

2. It’s a mass group exercise
   Researchers have shown that group exercises can find a way for greater endorphin production and this hormonal production can lead to intense sense of belongingness. So you are motivated to work out and more importantly you feel that you are a part of an amazing group full of exciting and fun-loving people.
3. Zumba lets you meet people with same frequency and bandwidth
   You love spending time with like-minded people or with people who are completely opposite of what you are? You get to click with people who are very much like you and that’s an added advantage of any Zumba class. If you feel lonely, join Zumba and it will never let you feel lonely.  So whether it’s a Merengue march or a peppy Reggaeton, Zumba lets you be spontaneous and reveal the fun side of yours that is probably not your usual self. Have a chuckle with your friends at any ‘dance move gone wrong’ or imitate a friend’s wrong moves after the class gets over, Zumba is all about having some fun-time with your friends. Now you know why Zumba friends are friends for life.
