Channeling My {inner} Beyonce

So listen to this...This month I celebrate my 1 year Zumba anniversary!  Exciting!   If it hadn't been for a group of my girlfriends dragging me to this class, I'm sure it would have never happened.  I could never really visualize myself strutting about and dancing in front of...well...anyone!  I usually do my exercising ALONE.  But the girls got me to go and now I love it!

When I Zumba, in my mind I like to think I look like Beyonce or  Britney in one of those epic dance sequences...flawless in my steps and absolutely no part of my body {that isn't suppose to} is jiggling...

Do you remember that episode of Seinfeld when Elaine danced at the party and she thought she had great moves, but really she was terrible?  Yeah, I think that episode might play out in my real life every Monday night.  :) hehe. {Thank goodness we are in a high school gymnasium, which means NO MIRRORS!}

But after it's all done, I'm a sweaty mess, which is, after all, the point.  

Regardless, it's been a year and no one near my has fallen on the floor in uncontrollable laughter, so that's good.    I'm going to stick with it.  It's a great work out and really fun. 

I will say, not all Zumba classes are equally good...it has a lot, no, everything to do with the instructor.  My instructor, Jess, is amazing.  Right now, she's preggo and it's just the cutest thing you've ever seen!  She choreographs most of her routines and she uses great music....some of the songs are even my guilty pleasures...I mean, when else would it be okay for a girl my age to "get down" to Britney Spears and Nicki Minaj?   

So, if you are an Indy friend, join me!  Your first time is free!!  And if you're not an Indy friend, find some Zumba in your neighborhood and give it a try!

Love,
S
