Why I teach Zumba

No one would ever mistake me for a good dancer. People ask me to dance so they can laugh at me.. and I do it.. because laughter is a gift you can give to others:-). The last time I danced on a stage, I was 12 or 13, and I‘m sure I spent every minute hating my body’s size and lack of coordination. 

Over covid, I kept thinking I wanted to dance... so I started taking lessons.. (with my video off of course!).. and every Monday night the instructor helped me turn my bedroom from my virtual office into a stage where I was a star... where I felt graceful, powerful, joyful, and free from my own judgment and limits.. I started to wonder if I could create that kind of space... where people could feel that kind of freedom to move and be present in their bodies. So I got certified in Zumba..

Never thought of yourself as a dancer? Me neither. Worried you’ll make mistakes? I definitely will! Want to turn your room into a dance floor where you can move your body with freedom? Me too.. Let’s dance together!
