There are a few things the can happen in a Zumba class that make me insanely happy. Don't get me wrong...Zumba usually makes me happy anyways, but these things are just the icing on the cake:
1. That moment when someone who's usually shy really gets into the dance and flirts with her/himself in the mirror - I love when this happens. It's usually someone standing in the back, and sometimes someone who has never come to Zumba before. This is the moment when someone falls in love with dancing.
2. When I (the instructor) mess up a step, but someone who comes to my class a lot gets it right - Even though I look like an idiot when this happens, I still think it's hilarious. It also makes me proud of that person, because it means they've made a real commitment to coming to class.
3. When someone requests a song - Not only does this take the pressure off me to find sweet Zumba jams, but it's also a great way for participants to become really engaged in the class. I want everyone to enjoy the music that we dance to, so I love when people want to introduce the class to their own favorite songs!
4. When one of my students friends me on Facebook/ follows me on Twitter - I don't care if you're stalking me! I'm so glad you found me! Now I can share all sorts of great fitness articles and updates with you. And, you know what? Social media is a great place for you to make song requests (hint, hint)!
I hope you're all enjoying this BEAUTIFUL day! I'll leave you with this song, "Haste Que Salga el Sol" by Don Omar:

Spring!
Today, I'm writing this post from my second floor balcony. Why? Because it's a beautiful day! It's springtime! What could be better?
I just want to let you know that I won't be offended if you skip my class because you want to exercise outside. It's a shame that group fitness classes like mine have to be indoors, but that's just how it is. As long as you're getting your workout, I'm happy.
Here are some great ways you can enjoy the beautiful spring weather, and still get the exercise you need:
