So You Think You Can Zumba?
Posted on August 8th, 2010 by Cynthia D'Amour
Nope.
This weekend I decided to check out a Zumba class.
- Friend in from Baltimore loves it.
- She was eager to go.
- I was happy to expand my fitness options.
We arrived early.
- The instructor was very welcoming.
- Asked if it was our first time doing Zumba.
- It was mine.
She explained the basics to me.
- “When in doubt just march in place.”
- March?
- I expected lively Latin shimmy and shakes!
The class started…
- The teacher called out Latin dance steps I recognized.
- My hips started swinging.
- Whoops - everyone else just marched!
We only lasted five minutes.
- My friend was really disappointed.
- And so was I.
- I faced down a few fears to show up - for no reason.
Our big day started with a fizzle instead of a happy giggle.
Makes me think of chapter leaders…how do you make sure your offers match members’ experiences?
