I've been taking Yesid's Zumba class weekly for several months. Even after I joined a gym that offers Zumba 5 days a week with my membership, I'm happy to pay to take Yesid's class at SHOCKra every week. Aside from being a warm, fun, and nurturing instructor, he's an excellent dancer and has created an environment in his classes where dancers of any level can feel comfortable. There is no embarrassment or harrassment if you can't do the moves exactly as he does; he helps you with the moves without making you feel singled out. No time is wasted with a lot of noisy chatter in his classes. You're there to move, sweat, burn calories, and have fun. The heart rate is brought up very quickly and he keeps up the pace through until the warm-down. At the end of class, you definitely feel you've gotten a good workout!
