I did it! Scratch that off my list of things to do! The class was from 7:15am – 6:20pm. Talk about a long day!!!  It was not all dancing (thank God). I walked out with TWO certifications.  1. is for basic Zumba and the 2. is gold. Gold is for people who are older or have injuries or even people in wheel chairs. I didn’t realize I had signed up for that kind of training but I loved it. I use modifications all the time. Some days I have all the energy in the world and can jump for days and other I need to take it slow and walk it out instead of jumping.

What got me all excited is the chair class.  There is a program that works with children hospitals and for 25-30 min you dance with the kids. As a kid who spent a lot of time in hospitals I would have loved to have had this interaction. Even if I wasn’t feeling 100% from all the IV meds and had a fever just the music alone would have distracted me from the fact I was in the hospital. I am looking into this because I would love to spread this joy. I also know more than other instructors how to move around IV poles and Ports.  It truly is a perfect spot for me. On Wednesday 8/24/16 I get so stand in front with the instructor and help lead. She keeps pushing me to do a solo song but I’m nervous!!!  I know I can do it. I have faith in myself but most importantly it makes me happy.  I am excited to see were this takes me!

— I have since then gotten in front and danced and am in the process of learning my own dances.I am no stranger to the front of the class and help lead. This past weekend there was a festival where I and a bunch of other instructors danced! Over all a good weekend and its been a good experience.  I need to put some videos up and show y’all my moves 😉

-xo,
