Hi Friends:
I hope your Monday is going well. I was just thinking about Zumba, and how sometimes it seems like you're the only one who doesn't know the steps to a song--you've never heard the song before, or you know what you should be doing but your body won't go, or you're totally lost. I myself experience all three on a regular basis, even when I'm teaching (ahem).
When everyone is moving left and you go right, or everyone has stopped and you spin, you might feel like you are totally "making A," or making an a** of yourself (for those who don't speak pidgin).
But, according to the Zumba website:
"Since its inception in 2001, the Zumba program has grown to become the world's largest – and most successful – dance-fitness program with more than 12 million people of all shapes, sizes and ages taking weekly Zumba classes in over 110,000 locations across more than 125 countries."
With that many people, you gotta figure that, statistically speaking, if you mess up, at least one other person in the world is, at the same time, making the exact same move as you. So you're not messing up, you're dancing with someone else who happens to be in a different location. You can call it remote dancing. Or long-distance dancing. International dancing.
And I hope you and your partner are having fun.
Have a great week,
meredith
