Dance #1 : >Dance Classes >Baila Fitness

Dubz Dubz! I dunno why but it seems that I like to write during midnight.

Maybe I am a panda vampire afterall? 

First time trying out classes in Baila Fitness.

It was freaking awesome and I love it a lot.

The studio is not that spacious but it's very comfortable.

Previously when I first came to know about Baila, it was in June'2012 when they were still in Iramanis.
That was when my K-Pop dance crew Da-FLOW, happened to practice at Aunty Shiela's place.

Aunty Shiela has been asking me to join her dance classes like forever since last year. LOL
Only now I have taken my action.
Delayed for a year! Opps >.<
But it's better than never right?

This year, Baila Fitness has moved to Metro Town in Kolombong.
The studio is located right above KK Fusion.
It is new,beautiful and comfortable, even the sound system is awesome,
I can feel the bass pumping my heart beat when I dance =)
Here is a peek of how the studio looks like.

First time coming and I am watching Step Aerobic class.
Looks fun and enjoying.
Hopefully one day later, I will be able to join it when my working hours are not that packed.

Sitting at the bench while watching the students doing aerobic.
Waiting for the Zumba class at the same time.
My first class and second time trying Zumba =)

Baila Studio offers two categories of  Zumba : Zumba Toning & Zumba Fitness
Zumba Toning is for people who do their workouts with toning sticks.
If you are wondering what is a toning stick, this is it.

It's like pair of dumbells for you to hold while zumba-ing.
I never had the chance to hold the exact sticks yet, but I heard the instructor said that it would cost you more than RM 100 for a pair @.@

Zumba toning targets more on the abs, thighs, arms and other muscles throughout the body, which also focus to the sculpting of body and cardio.

Zumba Fitness is a combination of dance plus aerobic.
The exercise routine include music with fast and slow rhythms, as well as resistance training.
Zumba's choreography incorporates hip-hop, soca, samba, salsa, merengue, mambo, martial arts, chachacha, reggaeton, flamenco and tango.
No props are used but make sure your body stamina is up to follow the fast pace dance and it will last for a non-stop hour.

Due to being there alone in the studio, I have no one to help me take any photos nor videos.
Couldn't give you guys a peek on the actual Zumba environment here.
But I can rest assure you, that it is a very heart pumping and sexy sweating hour for me.

I directly sign up for a life membership in Baila Fitness after the Zumba class.
With only a RM 50 of registration fee + RM 130 of monthly subscription fee.
Now I am entitled to unlimited dance classes everyday.
In another word, I can be here every single day and follow any single classes they have to offer.
Fingers crossed that my stamina is up for the challenge. Hahaha!

After Zumba Toning class, continues with Belly Dance class.
I was asked to try the Belly Dance but I have not prepare for this. LOL.
Told them that I would try it only next week. Cus I actually only came for the Zumba session. LOL.

One thing that I like about the studio is they have this cute square closets for you to place your belongings.

You don't have to worry about things scattering all over the places.

Or having your stuffs getting mixed up with other peoples'.

This studio is a shoes-free-area.

Meaning to say that you cannot directly wear your shoes from outside to inside.

Shoes used for dancing purposes are only allowed to be wear inside the studio.

So you have to wear slippers when you come for classes, and only change to your dancing shoes when you are inside =)

It is actually a good practice to keep the studio clean.

I have this pair of white dancing shoes that I like to wear alot.

I got it last year for Da-FLOW's first Kpop Dance Competition.

It was comfortable and simple stylish I totally love it.
