Just what all hardcore dancers will Tell you is crossing over to the "dark" side..
HAHAHaaaaaa
yes yes... I have become a Zumba instructor... Much to the absolute shock and HORROR of my Flamenco teacher... (and probably some of the hardcore tribal bellydance community)
And let me tell you why... The second I looked into the eyes of my students and saw how much they loved and needed it - for their minds, bodies and souls... It suddenly wasn't about me anymore..
Performing was always an internal affair, Yes I was sharing some of it with the audience but that was about all..
Helping people love themselves and become fit and furiously happy is so much more rewarding. I can't even describe it.Best part - I get to partner up with one of the most inspiring ladies that ever hit planet earth! Not only jam with her but share this journey..
and YES - we have dress up parties ALL the time - the more the better
Our students are piling up but even when there was only 1 (yes that did happen at the beginning.. hehehehe... 2 instructors and one student - has the potential of being largely awkward) - I laugh just thinking about it... ONCE we came to class and it was just US ...... Let me tell you that we STILL had the time of our lives...
BUT having said that - our lives are in chapters and each one has a role to play and is as important as the next..
This chapter - Im a Zumba JAmming,, colourfull, mad jumping around, boody shaking, messup and makeup - shake it till you make it - twist and shout, Tango, cumbia, Zumba instructor, and loving it.
Im off to the Zumba convention in Orlando soon and cant wait to go wild with other Instructors from around the world. It's like going to a club that is in a bubble and clean cut... Just what the doctor ordered.
