I have been wanting to ask about Zumba. I am not in TV yet, but Zumba is offered here in Cincinnati.

What I need to know is how easy is it to make a fool of myself in a Zumba class? You see, I am uncoordinated. Even my best friend would not pick me for her team in high school gym class. (In fact, I am still not quite over that and so I bring it up to her from time to time.)

Now, when it comes to water aerobics, I am completely at ease because nobody can actually tell what I am really doing with my feet, and also if I go the wrong way in water, I can correct in time and not knock anyone down.

Anyway, Zumba looks like it is really fun, but before I throw caution to the wind and sign up for the class, I really think I need to know more about it.

Is there room in the world of Zumba for somebody who steps to the left while others step to the right?

Is there room in Zumba for somebody whose Wii thinks she is pathetic and keeps playing sad music while that poor little Mii, or whatever she is called, looks crushed because she knocks over stuff when she skis and she can't catch the hula hoops that are thrown at her and her score is just awful?

Is there room in Zumba for somebody who dances like Elaine on Seinfeld?

I really do want to know. If I sign up for Zumba, will it be for me like high school gym class all over again?
