White Girls Can’t Dance
So…..
last night I tried a FREE Zumba class at our clubhouse.
I loved it. I want to continue. I looked like a fool. I didn’t care.
I’ve always thought that I had rhythm and could bust a move, but I need to get off my “Coordination High Horse” because somewhere along the line I have lost any and all ability to carry out the simplest of moves. I know that all these hip gyrations and booty shakin’ will come easier as I keep going, but in the mean time I need to get over myself and just do it!
The funny thing is is that I didn’t give a damn about what I looked like. At least I was out there moving and not at home shoving bon bons in my face while watching The Real Housewives Of Orange County. I was movin’ although I was NOT groovin’, and I loved it. In my 20s I would have been more insecure, but now that I’m nearing my “not so 20s”, I don’t care anymore what I look like trying to borderline hip hop dance to BEP’s Boom Boom Pow!
Oh, and I also did all this tomfoolery in my socks…apparently my NB Trail shoes are a little too “tready” for Zumba. I need to get some smooth bottomed shoes. All of a sudden I perked up…..I get to buy new shoes? They may be ugly, black, dorky looking shoes (not a fan of black tennies!), but if they will help me with my moves, I’m all for it!
Let this be my theme song for the day:

I am sitting here laughing thinking about your good old Household days when you could definitely bust-a-move. I have always wanted to try Zumba and you might have just given me the inspiration!

Aims- Nobody can bust a move like you in a pool! Remember Cabo and water aerobics? LOL, you were a sight to be seen girl!

I did Zumba last night and had a great time! I really had no idea what I was doing but the hour went really quickly and it seemed like a great workout. I haven’t moved my hips like that in a long time. Thanks for the inspiration – what new activities are next?!?

Oh yay! Isn’t it fun? I agree….the time goes by fast and it feels like a pretty good workout although you feel silly doing all the new moves! I think I may go again on Thursday night! Have you tried the boot camps? I think that is the next thing I’m going to try….
