The afternoon

One room, everybody moving

All ages, all levels. If you have never taken a Zumba class in your life, this is the easiest one to start with. Nobody is watching you, they are all facing the stage.

Doors open

Come early enough to find a spot on the wood floor. Water bottle, shoes you can pivot in, something pink if you have it.

The class starts and does not stop

Asal and Maíra trade off on stage, song after song. Sit one out whenever you need to. Plenty of people do, then get straight back up.

Last song, then the group photo

Everyone piles onto the stage and the steps in front of it for the photo that closes the afternoon.
