Zumba Anyone?



Let me tell you a story . . .
About 5 months ago I went to the gym in hopes of attending a Pilates class. Little did I know the scheduled had just been changed and Zumba was now being held during that time. I decided to stick it out and try it anyway. It was so much fun! How could it not be? Put me in a room, turn on some loud music, force me to shake my hips, and it's bound to be a good time. I liked this class so much that I chose Zumba for my modality to focus on during my group fitness training class this semester. Then last Saturday I went to an all day Zumba training. I shook my rump for 10 hours and earned myself self the right to be an instructor. I am now certified and looking for a job teaching. You may be asking yourself, "what the heck is Zumba?" Zumba is an aerobic exercise class that uses the music and style of Latin and International dance. It's like going to a party instead of working out. I just want to leave you with two things: First, if you've never taken a Zumba class GO NOW! Second, if you know of anyone looking for a Zumba instructor, tell me!!

Much love, Tan

That is AWESOME! I want to learn Zumba so bad! It looks like so much fun. Booty shaking is my kind of workout! I hope you find somewhere to teach!

Awesome! Do you teach other stuff too? My sister teaches at a gym and is always looking for subs. I'll let her know you do Zumba.

Awesome! I saw that at one of our local gyms taught by a latin lover and I thought it looked like a blast. I don't know how to dance, but that would be amazing!
