...get my Zumba certification!

A couple of weeks ago, I ventured down to Tuscaloosa for Zumba training!  For those unfamiliar to Zumba, it's a cardio class that incorporates dance--mostly Salsa, Meringue, Cumbia, Cha-Cha, and some hip hop :)  I love taking it at the J and decided that it would be fun to get my certification and possibly start teaching. 

Erick, the instructor, had crazy fun energy.  See me on the front row? :)

New friends and Erick Santana, the instructor.

I really enjoyed the training, although it wore me out.  We started around 8am and around 3, I was exhausted.  The class still had 3 more hours!  We didn't get out until 6 on the dot.  Most of that is because they were trying so hard to sell more program options to us.  Pretty annoying if you ask me.  I've attended a few Zumba classes since and have started facing the class while instructor teaches--but am not ready to teach quite yet.  I have made up a Meringue dance that I am supposed to introduce on Sunday.  Keeping my fingers crossed I don't mess up! :)
