Welcome to my Zumba blog! For those of you that don't know what Zumba is, it's a latin dance-based cardio workout program. Zumba's motto? Ditch the workout- join the party! It really is more like a dance party than a workout. You don't even realize how much you're sweating because you're having so much fun. Check it out!
I am lucky enough to have the opportunity to teach Zumba at my university's rec center. Even though teaching is not what I'm planning on doing for the rest of my life, I very easily could. It's the best job in the world! I get to dance with my friends every single day, and help people become happier and healthier.
I could talk about teaching Zumba for hours and hours, which is why I decided to start this blog chronicling my adventures as a Zumba teacher.
This week's topic...Zumba-THONs!
Yesterday I taught at the Rock the Pink Party, a 3 hour Zumba fitness event that was a fundraiser for Ellis Fischel Cancer Center. The event was held on a basketball court at the rec center and about 200 people showed up.
A few other teachers and I taught three separate half-hour exercise sessions. I absolutely love teaching big groups because the energy is unbelievable. Everyone was dancing and cheering and having a great time. I am exited to find out how much money we raised for the cause.
If you're organizing a fundraiser, I highly recommend holding a Zumba-thon. It's a great way to get people moving and having fun all for a good cause. For more information about holding a Zumba-thon, check out Zumba's website.
Keep dancing,
Bridgit
