So as far as Mega Mixes go this one is pretty good. My only real beef is why Taylor Swift? I actually really like Taylor Swift and use Shake It Off as a Zumba Toning routine (sorry about cutting my own head off, I didn’t have much room to record that day!)
however I pay my monthly ZIN fee to get songs I wouldn’t otherwise find, and I’d have to be living deep under a rock to not already not Shake It Off. I feel like they can get away with putting mainstream songs on the ZIN releases because then they are at least giving a couple sets of choreo to go with them, but on a Mega Mix? But that’s none of my business <—cue a meme of Kermit drinking tea 😉
I’m pretty happy that I like this one enough to take it to my car (where I listen/memorize new songs) the last couple mega mixes haven’t even made it that far!
Love your blog and your videos. I think that you have to consider that Zumba is a global brand and therefore although you know of Taylor Swift the South American Zumba instructors may not. I’m sure they would say the same about Humanos a Marte. Keep up the excellent work. You’re fab:-)
True enough, point taken! 😀
