CHOREOGRAPHY NOTES - VOLUME 53 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!
