This video about Zumba from the Wall Street Journal Website featuring Marci Shimoff,
author of the best seller book "Happy for No Reason" (which I have just put on my reading list!)
I LOVE TO DANCE!
I have always loved to dance since I was a little girl and took classes up to the time I graduated high school. Tap, jazz, even Broadway choreography.
My twitter account @LVWedConcierge profile actually says "I Never met a Dance Floor I didn't Like".
Many of you who know me personally know I love to get out there and shake it (YES, ALL OF IT) no matter what size I am at the time.
Dancing (no matter what kind) makes me come alive and happy! If I could go out and dance up a storm every night, I wouldn't have to "exercise" ever again.
I will share a little secret with you all. I would love to be one of those motivational party dancers at events (when I'm not actually planning one) being out there with the Bar/Bat Mitzvah kids and the wedding party, having a blast with everyone on the dance floor. Who knows, maybe someone has a future gig for me?:)
I adore Latin music; Salsa, Merengue, Tango, Calypso...I love it all. It's all about enjoying yourself, feeling the rhythms and just letting go. Running and Stationery Bike or Spin Classes, hmmmmm, not so much!
So when I saw the Zumba commercials, I was totally hooked. I was actually off the sofa doing the exercises with the infomercial! I put down my $59.99 and breathlessly waited for the package to arrive. Sure enough, I ripped the box opened, watched it and then put it on a table.....for 6 months!!
It was too hot to walk today. So, I opened the box, put it in the DVD player and FINALLY JOINED the Zumba Party!
WOW, it is so much FUN! I'm totally addicted and I know I will love doing THIS every day, starting off with the 20 minute workout routine. I am sure I will have a few new moves for the dance floor too.
It feels great, I get to dance in my office all by myself every afternoon and what could be a better day break than that?
I'm looking forward to getting to the gym where they offer group Zumba classes!
Today I AM Back in the Party!! What are YOU Today?

Zumba is killer!! I did it once at the gym and had no idea what I was getting myself into... I walked out 2/3rds of the way through to catch my breath and let my bright red face cool off some, lol. I guess it didn't help that the instructor was my old HS dance teacher (who also lead the dance and cheer team). She has some energy!!
But there's definitely no funner way to get in shape then dancing. :-) Have fun Tracey!
I took my sister to Zumba for the first time last weekend. I've been to Zumba before but this was my first post pregnancy workout. It was so much fun but definitely a great workout!
Zumba is THE perfect workout for you Tracey!!
Juliet,
Well right now, I am doing it at home with the DVD's but will be starting ZUMBA class this Sunday.
I agree that it is really THE Perfect workout for ME. It's a blast. {hugs}
