So I start teaching Zumba tomorrow morning! I was finally able to get into the studio and use the mic yesterday so now I actually feel like I'm ready to do this. It seems silly to be so nervous about teaching a fitness class! But when you have to dance, cue, try not to fall off the platform, smile and look around the room at your participants - it CAN be kind of nerve wracking. And I haven't even done the last 2 things yet (it feels weird to smile at no one! LOL)! But it all seemed to really come together yesterday, so I'm feeling confident that tomorrow will go well. I am co-teaching tomorrow with the Zumba instructor who already teaches at the YMCA (where I will also be teaching). She is going to do a few songs and then I will do 4-5 songs plus the cool down. It should be fun! She usually gets a crowd of 30-40 people, so I would be lying if I said I wasn't a tad nervous. But excited too! And then I will be teaching class on Thursday mornings for now. Hopefully I'll have more classes soon! Anyway, I thought I'd upload a video and embarrass myself a little. Hey - if I can't share it with the world, then how can I actually do it in front of people?! Right?! So here ya go! Click on the link again, cuz like last time - can't figure out how to embed a video here.
