Photo by myself in Herald Square, at 34th Street and Broadway in Midtown.
Only in New York will you have free exercise classes right outside Macy's, on one of the busiest blocks in Manhattan.
Every Thursday night at 6pm, through September 30th, you can take a free Zumba class outside. The speakers were blaring 'La Vida Loca' and a crowd gathered around to watch.
Zumba is an aerobic workout that combines dance moves from salsa, merengue, mambo and hip-hop. The instructor, above in the blue top, looked very fit.
With the new pedestrian-only blocks, the city has a vibrant, festival atmosphere. We had nice temperatures Thursday too, which made such jumping around okay.
The free classes are sponsored by DanceSport. No pre-registration is required. You just show up.

So that's how it's done. I met a girl earlier this summer and she was into Zumba.
That looks fun to do, did you?
Hi Kitty,
Nice post! So glad you enjoyed Zumba. We also have free Swing Dancing lessons on Tuesday nights - 6-7pm, same place.
Zumba? Sounds great! Did you join the zumba event?
You will have to go back for the Swing Dance!
So, that is call Zumba? That is what we all do in Puerto Rico every saturday night from age 14 till late 40's. Didn't know I've been doing Zumba all these years.
abrazos,

How nice!
Thanks everyone!
I didn't join in on the fun. It was enough just to smile and watch everyone have a good time. The participants were good sports, doing this in public.
I will have to check out the swing dancing, too!
