Ready, Set, ZUMBA!

So, this week was just full of unexpected surprises. First my little spider rebel tried to overtake my desk and then on Friday my belly dancing class was switched up and turned into a Zumba class. Let me just say, if you would like to have your a** handed to you, take Zumba. If you would like your a** handed to to you while having a terrific time, take a Zumba class just for women!

It is definitely different from any dance or aerobics class I have ever taken. It isn't the "take is slow and learn the steps kinda thing" but instead a jump in, do what you can, and be ready to laugh at yourself experience! It was a mix of Latin, hip hop, middle eastern, African and much more. By the end of the class, my brain was so fried from learning so many quick combinations I couldn't even manage a decent grapevine (something I can do in my sleep). But I had tons of fun doing it! I think I will be doing it again- hopefully with more success- in the future :-)
