Just Dance!

Ever since I was a little girl I loved to dance. I even thought I would be a professional dancer one day! HA!!! That obviously didn't happen. However, on Thursdays I go to Zumba and for an hour I sweat it out to some awesome music. I pretend if even for a little while that I am a dancer, not just any dancer but a darn good one at that.

It's hard at first to get used to what Zumba entails. It's fast movements, hip swaying and booty shaking. Since I have always been overweight those are movements that I would avoid at all costs. I would never purposely expose myself to the possibility of being ridiculed. However, at Zumba I DO NOT CARE! I absolutely love it. No one there has come to class to make fun of you or judge you, they are just there to dance and work out in. Sometimes, it really amazes me the things you can do when you let your guard down and just dance!

Now let me tell you a little bit about our instructor Terry. Aside from the fact that she rocks as an instructor; she does her Zumba class in intervals where she brings the heart rate up and down. Making it easier to really focus on the moves and tuning into the music. She also incorporates different international styles of dancing. You find yourself dancing to music/rhythms you have never heard of. She is also makes the moves easy to learn and her classes are never intimidating. If you're in the area come check it out!

The video that I posted is our cool down/stretching song. At the end of each class I always feel a big sense of accomplishment however this song just brings it home! It may be silly to some, but it is so inspiring to me! Listen carefully to the words and remember...life is so hard sometimes and when you feel like nothing is going right just remember to take a deep breath and JUST DANCE!
