Zumba is so fun to me because of nights like tonight! I may have only had two students tonight but because of the energy of those two it made Zumba that much more exhilerating! I am the kind of person who needs positive energy around me and tonight was just that! Zumba is so connected to my training as a dancer that it keeps me in my zone. I really miss training in dance with the seriousness and focus that I always had but in the meantime I have Zumba to keep me in my art form.
When I do Zumba I feel alive and I feel so much great energy that I can't help but smile from deep within myself! Zumba is something I was hesitant about doing for so long then once it got ahold of me I couldn't resist. I am one of those people who is leary about crazes, especially fitness crazes. So for me to be a licensed instructor is pretty significant to my morals! Zumba has become a way of life! It may be different from dance on many levels especially the way it leads more to specific formulas for fitness but on other notes it is so amazing to be able to do it as a dancer! I love that I can lead by example still even with my body hurting so much! I'm grateful for the ability to dance still after 24 years worth of doing it! I'm grateful today for Zumba being in my life and the students who continue to inspire me to want to keep at it!
