Zumba is one of the popular exercise routines in Malaysia. It was inspired by various styles of Latin American dance and music. Zumba is good in burning fat and calories, as well as providing an extra workout to our body. It also improves one coordination, which is very important as you grew older.
The idea of setting up a Zumba and Fitness Club in Vision College came along after we decided to change the Aerobic slot to Zumba during Orientation Week intake January 2017. The team started of with only four songs; which are Sakitnya Tuh Di Sini, Pencuri Hati, Aku Ma Apa Atuh and Dealova. We practiced the moves consistently to ensure that all Zumba members know the steps beforehand, so that the session will go on smoothly. Our goal is for the participants to enjoy and have fun while working out at the same time. 
After the orientation week, we continued our routine as usual. But somehow we felt like there is something missing. So we decided to conduct another Zumba session, and surprisingly a number of students joined us on that day. Since then, we are conducting a Zumba session once every two weeks; and the best thing is... it's FREE! We received a positive participation from students and the number increases from time to time. As a team, we challenged ourselves in exploring new songs (i.e. Bailando, Shape of You, Jai Ho, and more) and dance steps to be added to our current selection of Zumba moves.
The Zumba club is still young, but we definitely have a big heart to achieve a greater height. Started from only four songs to a compilation of at least twenty songs, consists of both local and international songs. We also experienced a situation whereby we were once invited to perform at Media Prima, Sri Pentas for a talk show namely Nasi Lemak Kopi O. However, due to an unforeseen matter it had been cancelled. Well, good things always come in our way; we received an invitation from SMK Kelana Jaya to conduct a Zumba session during the school's Sports Day on 21st April 2017. We are thrilled and can't wait to conduct the session.
The motto and vision of the club is "Shake It, Until You Make It" which means we need to do something with full effort in order to succeed. In Zumba for example, even though some of the steps are quite difficult, our team will keep on practicing to make our moves better. Our future planning for this club is more on profit-oriented, and our target is to conduct Zumba sessions in any organisations or institutions so that we can make profit out of it. We also planned to participate in Zumba competitions and be the best among the rest. Besides that, we are planning to carry out a Kayak Island Expedition whereby we will be conducting a Zumba session from one island to another island. We want to upgrade the image of Vision College as well as setting new record in the Malaysian Book of Records.
Last but not least, come and join our Zumba Class every Thursday, 5:30pm at the Multipurpose Hall (Level 4). Don't forget to wear your sports attire and put on your sport shoes. So, what are you waiting for? Let's "Just Shake It, Until You Make It!"
