Ventura Danzar & Zumba Fitness

Robert Beltran

The truth is, along with my weight training, I know that I am supposed to do Cardio as well. The problem is that I've NEVER liked any of the traditional types of Cardio you find on the gym floor. It wasn't until my Sister suggested to me that I should try Zumba as a form of Fitness/Cardio, thinking I would actually enjoy making "dance" the solution for getting my Cardio in. She was RIGHT! That 1 hour of nonstop dancing is the most effective cardio exercise I've ever done. My first experience with Zumba was at the gym in which I was doing my weight training. The atmosphere was fine but, definitely a more subdued "gym atmosphere." One day a woman I'd met there told me that I should try Danzar stating it was "more fun." I thought, "More fun?!...than this!?" This I had to see for myself! The following week I went to Danzar and found out she was RIGHT. The atmosphere was much more communal and that of a 1 hour Dance Party. The energy was off the hook and it was clear the folks there had forged a wonderful connection with Danzar and each other. I've been a regular there ever since! When you are gathered together with a large group of people, moving in harmony with one another to an insanely infectious rhythm, you feel you are all part of a tribe. A tribe forged by joy! This is Danzar! If you've ever thought of trying out Zumba, come to where you'll have the richest experience. Come with me to Danzar and dance for JOY!

Danzar is a fun and exciting way to exercise. The studio brings like minded people like myself together to dance and sweat. I love taking the Zumba classes. I get to dance with the many friends I’ve made there and get a full workout. The instructors pour their heart and soul into their routines.They keep the classes fun and interesting. The environment at Danzar is very welcoming .I’m so glad I found Danzar

This studio is just lots of fun! I've had the pleasure of having a great variety of Zumba instructors over the 8 years I have been coming here. The instructors are the best in the area and there is no peer pressure so that I always feel comfortable. The group of mostly women is welcoming and friendly too. This is simply the best workout that doesn't feel like exercise!

A one-of-a-kind, rare gem in this area!! You cannot get this kind of Zumba experience at a big box fitness center! Ionia's studio is a very special place with top-quality instructors, authentic and satisfying music/choreography, real wood dance floor, and a community feeling of supportive members dancing together to get a great workout. It's been over 6 years since I began attending Danzar and it is always fresh, joyful and uplifting. Dancing for an hour a day, whether you take it easy, go hard or somewhere in between, is one way to guarantee that endorphin release which gives you the best possible attitude to deal with the rest of your day. Think you can't dance? Think again---there are no wrong moves, and the collective energy of fun, joy and support will sweep you up and get you enjoying yourself so much, you'll hardly notice what a fantastic workout you are giving your body and your brain. Try it!! xoxoxoxoxo
