I love Zumba! It makes me so happy. Not just happy when I am dancing, but happy about everything. It brightens my days and nights. When I am dancing I feel power and joy.
My instructor, Desree is the best person. She gives us Zumba ladies so much. (you can see her in the video about half way through. Front and center in the neon green tank.) This is what I love about her. She posted this on Facebook:"I need to say something about our zumba girls...they are the true essence of Zumba, the heart and soul. They are not professional dancers, none of us, but dance Zumba because in those precious moments they feel love and self acceptance, they feel the truth and value of who they are...amazing, beautiful, strong, fearless! I love what Zumba has given us! Love to you all!!"
Another of our Zumba ladies said this about Desree: "Thank you, Desree, for helping us all make wonderful memories! You have helped me overcome a lot of fears and you've challenged me to be a better person. You are beautiful on the inside and out! You have no idea what a blessing you have been to me. You help me dig deep in my personal life and on the dance floor. I owe you so much!!!"
I feel the exact same way. This has truly changed my life.
This past Wednesday I had the opportunity to Zumba dance for the Flash (basketball team) half time show. Here is a video of the half time show. My friend, Heidi is just right of me in the turquoise shirt. Thanks Heidi for dancing with me. Enjoy!
My favorite part is the end. You can hear my kids cheering. I love that my family came and supported me. And, I didn't embarass them. You guys are the best.
But most of all, he loved his kids.
