Here is one of my favorite Zumba Fitness Warm-up routines! Choreography was created by Kim Marie, who gives a special thanks to LaToya Bufford & Catherine Chiemelu — Dancehall Mash-Up Queens — for the inspiration.

If you love dancehall moves and music — this one is fiyah! Kim Marie is on the left side of the screen providing the massive energy + verbal cues… I am on the right side of the screen focusing on smiling and not making funny faces… We wore pink Zumba gear to coordinate and in preparation for Breatst Cancer Awareness next month! Anyway, hope you enjoy! Please like it + share it + teach it.

Dancehall Mash-Up Master Class flyer

I attended my very first zumba master class this weekend! It was two hours of zumba and dancehall fun! The instructors that led the routines were LaToya Bufford and Catherine “Cat” Chiemelu — they were so amazing! It is beautiful just to watch them dance. This event was hosted by the lovely Zumba Kiki (sooo pretty) and she also led the zumba portion during the event. All the sweaty fun took place at Stevenson Park gym located at 17400 Lysander Drive, Carson CA 90746.

Here I am BEFORE I danced my booty off…

Here is a hyperlapse video I put together on my IG (@richmade_m). The song in the background is Jump by  RDX. n_n

I can’t wait for my next zumba event!

Summer Shots | The Heatwave Show #17

I love this mix so much! This is my second time listening to this and I feel like dancing in the Caribbean Islands somewhere. This is a perfect mix of reggae and dancehall and soca and is a total package of summer sounds. 🙂

Throwback Thursday: Nike Rockstar Workout Dancehall

One of my favorite Nike commercials ever! This even features Ashlee (from So You Think You Can Dance Season 2) and choreography from Jamie King!! I remember somehow downloading the instructional videos and watching them over and over to learn the moves. 🙂

Mr. Vegas – Bruk It Down – Dancehall Funk class

I just saw artistpush’s post about Mr. Vegas – Bruk It Down’s reggae music video… Which led me to investigate further on YouTube. I found a class I would totally check out.

Maybe one night when I am bored, I will try to learn these moves since there is a tutorial! *Yes* 😀

Or maaaybe… Maaaaybe even take a Dancehall Funk class since it’s in North Hollywood!
