We finally are not getting our Zumba interrupted and are heating up the place on a regular basis. I feel like I am getting stronger every week! I hope you are too.
If you have any suggestions for songs you want to stay or go, let me know. I will work on adding a new song or two a week so all suggestions are welcome.
Keep it up, I am seeing you looking better and getting in better shape every class. I am proud of you!

B2 Class in Vandalia, Ohio
Last weekend I went to Vandalia, Ohio to get certified in an advanced Zumba class, Basics 2. The instructor works closely with Beto, Zumba's creator. It was a class to improve my techniques and to learn new dance moves. We worked on belly dancing, Samba, and Flamenco. We broke down songs and learned new choreography. It was all about making the class better for you.
The class was held at a Zumba studio that is run by the husband and wife team that originally taught me how to teach Zumba. Doug and Joan also work closely with Beto and travel the country to create Zumba instructors. The studio is 2 1/2 hours from Bedford and I was planning on driving home but the weather had another plan for me. In Vandalia there was icy rain and up in Bedford was ice and snow. After dancing for 7 hours I was actually happy to get a hotel and sleep for 9 hours before having to make the trek home.
Now I have 2 certifications now and will be getting a 3rd, Zumba Toning, at the Zumba conference this summer in Orlando. I also plan on getting my Zumba Gold (older active students), Aqua Zumba (pool), and Zumbatonics (kids) certifications. I will have 3 all together (B1, B2, and Toning) by the end of this year and my goal is to add one a year until I have them all. I feel that to keep at my best for you I need to keep on top of the latest classes that are available to me.
I will keep you posted on Toning classes for the next school year.
Keep moving Kittens!

Horses have really big feet!
I got kicked by my horse this morning. I have a nasty bruise and lump on my left leg. Good thing it isn't a Zumba day. I was supposed to run today (I am training for a half marathon) but I decided to take a break and ice it so I am ready to go for tomorrow. I bowled tonight and all was good.
I took a plastic bag filled with hay through his stall to the pasture. When I came back through the stall the bag was flapping and he kicked at it and I was in the way. Dumb move on my part. I am just glad it was a lesson learned with just a bruise. He has been trying to make it up to me all day. Once he realized he kicked Mom you could tell he felt really bad. He is a very sweet horse. I was just a dumb Mom.
Some of my friends at bowling are interested in taking our next class. I am excited to get more people to join our party. If you get someone to join next session I have a free t-shirt for you! It is always more fun with your girls.
See you tomorrow my Zumba kittens!

The thaw is finally here!
Tonight we get back to our Zumba party! I feel like the snow gods are clashing with the dancing gods....hmmmm....sounds like a story in there somewhere, maybe mythology? I know I have been missing seeing your beautiful faces; dancing at home just doesn't have the same energy. When we dance together it feels like a Girls' Night Out. Hey, isn't that what it is?
I have to tell you that I took a pole dancing class this past weekend. I have done this in the past and loved it. Not only do we pole dance, we do a chair dance too. It is fun and very sexy but I have to admit I would have like it better if we used our music. I didn't get the same feeling when I was dancing in that class. With Zumba I feel the adrenaline start to flow and never seem to get tired. I do have very sore arms. I think once I take my Zumba Toning class this summer, my arm problem will be solved. I'm taking that instructor class at the Zumba conference in Orlando. I thought we used our arms in Zumba but swinging on a pole is a new experience for my poor body.
We have one more week of our current routine and then I will switch out a couple of songs with some new ones. I don't want to change it all up at once since we haven't had a chance to get bored with this one yet. I used to change the entire routine but the feedback I get is that my Zumba kittens like to keep a few they know so they don't feel overwhelmed learning so many new routines. Let me know what you think? I don't want you bored, but I also don't want you feeling like you can't keep up. I am doing this for you so give me your input.
Thanks,
Cindy

Zoot Zoot Zumba!!!
Ok Kittens, I'm about tired of this snowing putting the kapooz on our fun. It is time to heat things up this week with some ZUMBA. I have been working on our moves here at home but it isn't the same without your beautiful faces.
Let's do the no snow dance so we can have some fun, fun, fun. At this rate we will be having class all summer - even thought that wouldn't be such a bad thing. Bring your bootie shakin', salsa lovin', hot bods down Tuesday and let's melt this snow!
I'm ready...Bring it on!
Woot Woot Zoot Zoot Zumba!
