Zumba help!

I just bought a set of Zumba workout DVDs as well as the Wii game. I felt really enthusiastic at first as I do love to dance. Problem is... I can't. Even the most simple of moves I struggle with mastering. It just makes me frustrated. I mean, almost everyone says how much they love Zumba and how it's so easy to do. I'm just not finding it easy. No way am I giving up, though. Have you SEEN the shape of the trainers in the videos? Insane. It obviously works.
Help/words of encouragement??
 
Just go with the flow! I have about as much co-ordination as a retarded fish but it's FUN! You just flail around! You still get hot and sweaty! Just follow the moves as best as you can but if you don't have finesse then it's not the end of the world. It's the movement that counts :)
 
To be honest, so far I haven't come across anybody who actually likes Zumba who doesn't try to sell it. I know several people who tried, and who are in shape (just doing it to tone up/for fun) and all of them said that it is pretty impossible to recreate the moves they show you.

So it's not you, it's just that the whole program is totally unrealistic. Do what Sunflower said - just move the way you want. As long as it gets you moving, and gets you sweaty, that's all that matters. :)
 
Actually, I have a few friends that do it and they love it. Sounds pretty realistic to me.

Yeah, I adore it. The moves are pretty easy to follow but I guess it differs from instructor to instructor!
 
isn't there an easy setting on the Wii system?
