Better than...the fitness DJ in your spin class.
Hip-hop and fitness might not seem immediately compatible, and Pitbull and Lil Jon aren't quite LL chiseled. But that didn't stop them from performing before 3000 freaking Zumba fitness buffs at the Convention Center on Friday. Just what exactly is Zumba? It's a fitness dance craze started by someone called Beto Perez. But even though I sweated along with everyone, I still can't tell you much more than that. Something about stretchy yoga pants, jumping, and some dance moves that force you to roll your hips...and get low.

First, there was a very lengthy red carpet at the JW Marriott, where Jon announced his plans to Zumba into nightclubs on a tour, with him DJing and celebrtiy Zumba fitness instructors shaking their groove thangs.

Then it was across the street for the concert slash workout session. The audience skewed mainly female, mostly in neon colored tanks and tights and ready to dance. First on stage was Lil Jon, who preformed for about 10 minutes, belting out hits "Outta Your Mind" sans LMFAO and the appropriate "Get Low." Sadly no sightings of the Ying Yang Twins or the Eastside Boyz, but Jon's dreads and swinging chain seemed to get everyone in the spirit. He finished with a Zumba warm up son and then made his exit.

We'll post the video as soon as it becomes available! For the whole story Go HERE

This is Zumba if you need a reminder.
