CHOREOGRAPHY NOTES - VOLUME 53

A NOTE FROM THE HOME OFFICE

Music is one of the most important, exciting, and fun parts of the Zumba experience.

Zumba Fitness respects all cultures, languages, religions and worldviews and does its best

to accommodate ZIN Members with resources we can use proudly. Although there are

some cultural variations and interpretations that may vary, all ZIN song lyrics are carefully

assessed, which includes the literal and cultural meaning of each song. Everyone interprets

these meanings differently depending on their own experiences and perspective, which is

why the Home Office doesn't attempt to provide a single conclusive interpretation in

English. If you teach at a religious or family-oriented facility, please use extra care with

song selection and be aware of any sensitivities. All of our songs are intended for

mainstream audiences; for songs that may be considered ‘spicy’ you will see a chili pepper.

If you are still unsure, simply ask your fellow ZIN Members on the Forum. You might even

get some on-the-spot song translations!
