Viva Zumba!


Tonight I was introduced to a whole new world of endorphin-pumping, body-moving, calorie-burning goodness. I have a temporary membership to a gym called Total Family Health Club located near my parents. Tonight I attended one of their free dance classes called Zumba (Pronounced Zoomba). I had so much fun! It was a combination of all different tempos of latin music including my fav raggaeton. It uses a combination of latin dance moves derived from salsa, merengue, and others. I looked like a total fool since I have "white girl rhythm" (this comes from trying to go salsa dancing with my friend Miguel in the clubs in Fresno-his name for my efforts in dancing) While I lived in Costa Rica I took a few latin dance classes and still "my moves" leave little to be desired. After tonight I learned that they haven't improved since ;) but it took me back to my days in the discotecas and reminded me and my "white girl rhythm" how much I love to dance....Try it!
