Zumba Outline
Purpose: To persuade the audience that they should take Zumba classes.
Introduction: About a month ago, I was in the same position that most of you are in, which was that I knew barely anything about Zumba. I had no idea what it was whatsoever until one night, my friend and I decided to go work out and she asked me if I wanted to try a Zumba class. So I did, and I loved it! To me, it’s the best style of exercising and it combines my two favorite interests: working out and dance. It’s way better than spending money at a gym for a monthly membership or paying hundreds of dollars for dance lessons because most Zumba classes cost no more than ten dollars. Today I am going to be talking about 3 main topics that will hopefully persuade you so become more interested in taking a Zumba class. Those topics are: dancing abilities, weight lose, and increasing flexibility.
