"I like to see your body movin'..."

Movin' is exactly what I've been doing--as in, Zumba Fitness all over the place!! I finished with the high school gig last week. My body's probably pretty relieved. :) This week's been pretty relaxed and non-eventful. I subbed for a fellow instructor last night and had 8 people in the class!!! That's a really good number--it'd be better to have a few more due to getting paid a little more but I'm not complaining by any means! And I'm so excited that I got some feedback from a Zumba student of mine that said since she's been taking my class, she's down 10-15 pounds!! I couldn't be happier for her and I know she's ecstatic!

Another tidbit of news: I just got hired at Gold's Gym! I don't have an official schedule of classes yet but that will come soon. Probably when a new one comes out. The class coordinator has to see where I'd fit in with all the other classes. Looks like Zumba is taking over Idaho Gold's Gyms by storm finally--Idaho's been kinda slow to grow in this awesome, effective program. In fact, when I met the coordinator for my audition, she told me that for the longest time she fought bringing Zumba into the gym since they already had a dance class through the Les Mills program. She didn't want to have to pay for another dance program but her boss came in one day and asked her, "So why don't we have Zumba at our gyms??" LOL! Beto Perez (the founder of Zumba Fitness) would be so happy to know about this and how it's finally starting to take root here.

Anyway, I'm having a blast doing this and will be instructing for a long time to come--it gives me so much more enjoyment than any other mode of exercise or other exercise program. I love ZUMBA!!!!
