Confessions of a Fitness Instructor

Mix 44

As I start this post I haven’t had a chance to listen to any of the songs on this month’s release as I put it directly into my iMac to import the songs and came right here to start writing. I’ve heard from a few people on my Facebook page that they thought it was a dud, and looking just at the song titles alone I can’t say I disagree. Maybe my tune will change by the end of this post once I’ve heard some of the songs…

What is going on? We use to get one or two “different” songs on a Mega Mix and this one is like nearly ALL “other”. It feels almost like a CD made specifically for Zumba Gold with the exception of two maybe three songs. I’m game for different songs as much as anyone but this is a little insane. I might get around to using one or two of these songs but that’s it. I don’t think it’s even going to make it to my car (I usually listen/memorize music while I drive)

What do you all think about this month’s release?

    I’m excited to get it! The difference being that I’m a new zin, and thus gives me some good songs from all around the world, three they fall into the 30% range, a meringue, a reggaetone, and a slower song or two for cool down or warm-up. As a newbie, it has been harder to keep everything from sounding the same while still keeping it Zumba. I don’t know that I’d use this all in the order it came in, but I will definitely use the songs to break things up.
    Love your posts here, as I am still waiting for my latest cds!
