Coordination status: still lacking
So tonight was the last night of my zumba class. Previously, I confessed to a serious lack of coordination. The class hasn’t done much to change that, but I am quite proud of the fact that I was able to do all the moves, most of them well (body rolls, for example, are not my forte). I rarely felt uncoordinated while dancing, but I also had my eyes glued on the instructor. Ask me to get up and salsa right now, and I’d have to give it some serious thought. I don’t exactly know which dances go with which songs, and my skills remain untested on the dance floor.
But I feel good, and I’m definitely sold on the idea of zumba. The place where I took the class isn’t offering it again until June. I’ve already found a filler class at a nearby YMCA. Apparently, zumba has taken Pittsburgh by storm, and there is no shortage of classes. Most of them conflict with my schedule, but I kept looking until I found one that fit. I almost settled for a different class that’s an even better fit for my schedule, but ultimately zumba won out. The other class? It was a Boot Camp for Brides class (non-brides welcome). I think not.

Boot Camp for Brides??? Ok. What kind of lessons are being taught in that class?
So, we’re all anticipating your Zumba showcase. Maybe at your summer party.

TAO:
Really intense aerobics, weightlifting and sculpting, designed for anyone who “wants to look good for a special event…or just for themselves.”
Unless the instructor Ashley is standing in front of me, there will be no zumba showcase. But thanks for the reminder about the party. Hmm…maybe late summer. Are you doing any other travel, or is your schedule pretty free?

“Really intense aerobics, weightlifting and sculpting, designed for anyone who “wants to look good for a special event…or just for themselves.””
OHHH… I see. I didn’t think it was physical. I was thinking maybe mental prepping. Or lessons you’ll find in magazines like Cosmo or Essence… “How to tell if he’s cheating”… things like that.
“Are you doing any other travel, or is your schedule pretty free?”
No travel plans at the moment. I’ll be prepping for production, most likely.
