Welcome to......Zumba!

This morning at Zumba was different and interesting, because the 8am time slot is usually cardio kickboxing, so a LOT of the people that showed up were planning on doing kickboxing and apparently didn't see the notices that have been posted by the sign in sheets saying that it was being replaced with Zumba today because Sara (the kickboxing instructor) was going to be on vacation.  Most of these women had never done Zumba and I heard a few of them belly aching about having to "shake it" and such and they seemed really disappointed.  One gal said to me "You need to be in the front!"  I asked "Why?" and she told me because it was obvious I knew what I was doing.  I was a little surprised, because while I HAVE seen this gal around before I don't know how she thought I knew the steps so much better than anyone else.  So I put myself right up in front next to Kelsie and did my best.  I think I was really trying a lot harder and focusing more because I KNEW I had a bunch of ladies watching me and following my steps.  I bet they rethought their decision when Kelsie chose two songs that I'd never done before and when I missed a few steps here and there on songs I DID know.  It was a lot of pressure, but it was so much fun!  I think a lot of them rethought their judgements on Zumba and hopefully a lot of them will give it a second chance.  It was a blast this morning!!  Loved it!  Thank you Kelsie for such a great time!  I wish we could've gone on and on!  Zumba again tomorrow followed by restorative yoga!
