Zumba Classics CD - Choreography Notes

These choreography notes are one suggestion for some of the songs on the Zumba Classics CD,
which as of Feb 21, 2009, accompanies the ZIN Welcome Kit. For our long-time ZIN members,
it is also known as Mega Mix #4, if you have it from the past. Feel free to print these notes and
add your own notes for clarification and/or add your own choreography changes to any parts of
the song. These choreography notes are compliments of our ZES, Tony Witt! While you may
be able to ask him some questions, he may not be able to respond to all questions. (We
apologize if you do not have the CD, as it is no longer for sale.)
