Kids Zumba

Well what was supposed to be a senior citizens Zumba day turned into a Zumba kids day! For about 45 minutes I taught a mixture of line dances and Zumba to a group of young girls and a camp counselor at the YMCA. We did Mambo number five, Man I feel like a woman by Shania Twain and Please Don't Stop The Music by Rhianna, it was alot of fun, more fun than with older people because I could take the energy level up a notch.But the older people would have loved it too!

Monday Memorial Day

Well, Zumba classes are going nicely, I added Sahara Oasis, a bellydance a week ago and the girls giggle each time they shake their hips. I also did a video for the turbokick classes and am waiting on the results of that, it should be another three weeks til I hear about it. Julie spoke to me last week and she is excited about doing another round of Zumba kickoff to get some more people in for classes. She told me she thinks I'm getting better at it and she has heard good feedback from the ladies. I feel like I am succeeding at it! I got a new ipod last week and have been running everyday for about fourty minutes listening to it, it's pretty addicitve. I've downloaded some old dance songs and some new ones by Akon and Kanye West. I got some old Michael Jackson Wanna Be Startin Something and Human Nature, some fergie -fergilicious and glamorous. I also got a bike last week and on Saturday I rode downtown and watched the Gus Macker basketball games. The weather was nice all last week so it was fun to run outside and ride around. I have been preparing for the country line dancing class on Wednesday, I am using Shania Twains songs and a song by Bonnie Rait, it's for older people so I'm hoping they like it. I am also teaching a Zumba class following it. It will be good experience to do both classes.

Cinco De Mayo

Cinco De Mayo was a success! People enjoyed dancing the Mexican Hat Dance. Felicia was smiling and jumping! About Ten people showed up which was nice, small but manageable. I decorated for Zumba and dressed up. Saturday was a good class, the ladies were doing good. I need to drink water though during the class, because I was finishing up a diet coke during the class, very bad! As long as people are dressing up, that's the important thing!
