CHOREOGRAPHY NOTES – VOLUME 42

A NOTE FROM THE HOME OFFICE

Music is one of the most important, exciting, and fun parts of the Zumba
experience. Zumba Fitness respects all cultures, languages, religions and
worldviews and does its best to accommodate ZIN Members with resources we can
use proudly. Although there are some cultural variations and interpretations that
may vary, all ZIN song lyrics are carefully assessed, which includes the literal and
cultural meaning of each song. Everyone interprets these meanings differently
depending on their own experiences and perspective, which is why the Home Office
doesn't attempt to provide a single conclusive interpretation in English. If you
teach at a religious or family-oriented facility, please use extra care with song
selection and be aware of any sensitivities. All of our songs are intended for
mainstream audiences; for songs that may be considered ‘spicy’ you will see a chili
pepper. If you are still unsure, simply ask your fellow ZIN Members on the Forum.
You might even get some on-the-spot song translations!
