Thoughts on using this for music in a dance fitness (Zumba) class?

It's very portable. And the battery is awesome. Sounds gets a little distorted on the max volume (bass). But I've never needed to turn it up that loud. The mic is a nice feature. So I'd say unless the room is enormous with 200 people. It'll be more than fine.

It would absolutely be perfect for that. The sound quality is great and the bass is real punchy, which is what you want for people to "feel" the beat. (Coming from a DJ)

That is exactly what I use it for. I've only had it for a month now but I charged it once and i have class two times a week and I still have full battery indication. I just plug in my IPad or IPhone and run my Zumba playlist and the party is on. I love it and there is no need for an AC power outlet!

Not to sure what Zumba is or how big a building you have but my machine shop is about 1500 sq ft with 12' walls and you hear itself over the equipment and outside well also. Hope this helps.

I have been going to Zumba classes for a couple of years now, and I have never heard an inappropriate song. Most of the songs are either recorded especially for zumba or adaptations of popular songs - all G rated. By the way, I am a Spanish speaker, so I do understand the lyrics. I hope this helps.

There are better options, it is a handy recorder and many functions, you are limited to one track at a time and bouncing is time consuming. If all you want is to record live performances or use as a quick writing tool, for the price it is good, it downloads in WAV format so it is a little outdated, but very portable, hope this helped.

Good question. I've only used it for music to get me motivated during my gym workouts, but have yet to get to the gym :-) Still, the sound quality is amazing and it's comfortable to wear. I would recommend it highly.

Hi Teresa,I don't know what songs are played in your classes but the songs in the video are pretty popular & catchy. I enjoy the music and the moves. I hope this answer helps...

It's pretty loud...but I use it in my English class and for my dance squad. It puts out great loud sound.

It is good for beginners and intermediate use in school bands. A very good option for beginning musicians.

If you're setting up on a 6' folding table and just want some background music for those at or within arms length from the table.....AND there's not already a lot of loud ambient noise, it'd prob be sufficient. If you're a DJ looking to get the party started and getting people dancing....then no. In fact I'm listening to mine now on my iPad in a large 25x50 greatroom and it sounds awesome. Good luck.

I use it for regular zumba as an extra weight for myself. For the actual toning zumba classes I attend, I use 3 pound dumb bells.

These might work for that application, but I would try ear plugs first. Ear plugs would be cheaper, smaller, less distracting and less likely to fly off of your head when whipping your head around during an awesome dance move! Plus the ear plugs are disposable and you would have to clean the sweat out of the Impact ear muffs after each jazzercise class. The ear plugs would lower the overall sound of everything, but you would still be able to hear the music and instructor. http://www.amazon.com/Howard-Leight-Earplugs-Uncorded-NRR33/dp/B0013A0C0Y/ref=sr_1_1?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1383340932&sr=1-1&keywords=howard+leight+ear+plugs just my $.02. Good luck and keep on dancing!

You can slow down a song or increase the speed while maintaining the same key. The sound quality will suffer a little but it is still good enough for learning purpose. Since this trainer will not last forever I have bought one more for back up. For me this trainer is the perfect learning tool. One way I use this tool is to set the speed at max and then play the songs to build speed and accuracy.

No a moderate volume would work just fine. But if you want the water to really move like crazy I suggest some bass :) The volume isn't a big issue, it's mostly what you play. Lyrics will kick it off too.

I used this in my classroom for small groups. Students can plug their headphones into iPods, CD players, etc and all can hear the same thing. Early on, we had issues with not very one agreeing to the same volume, but they quickly got over it. I'm not sure about the wireless headphones, but maybe?

Absolutely. I teach piano and guitar and use it for my guitar students. Good volume. I think you will like it and the price is right.

Absolutley! For a school band it would work great! I had a concert at school and used it and actually had to work to keep my volume down! And when it is loud, it still tends to keep its integrity until you get to about 3 oclock on the volume knob.

i feel that it may be ok for class work,i have found it not good for recording music.i suggest --pay another 20.00 and get a good one.
