Have you ever just sat there and thought that there is so much in this world that I can do, but there is so little time to do it all?
That's where I am sitting right now. I work a 9-5 job, great place, good people, good pay, and while there is nothing to do I can be on the internet. Easy peazy. But you know, this is definitely not something that I would want to do my whole life. I want to be able to move, dance, and go places through out the day. I want to be able to have my own studio and teach dance to people of all ages, old and young, new and experienced. I want a place that people can go to and move their body and feel good about it. I want to give people a place where they can go for an hour and forget about life and their worries and just dance it out, work up and sweat, and prepare themselves for the rest of the day or week.
I started as an Independent Consultant with Mary Kay, thinking it would be a great asset to help me get a little extra cash to get my studio up and running, then I added Jamberry to the picture; to be able to get a bigger clientele. The more things you have the more people you can bring in right?!? :)
And my next big adventure that I have brought into my life is Zumba. :) Something that I have wanted to do for a while. I love going and taking Zumba classes, they are a fun and great way to work out without actually thinking about it being a work out. You have a full hour to dance and move your body and just have fun. AMAZING!
So a couple weeks ago I went to a training to become a Certified Zumba Insturctor. :) I got certified on a Friday and the first class I had was the next Tuesday. Very little time to prepare, but it was a blast!
I called the owner of MC Intensity Studio, on a Monday and she asked me to come in the next day. Well, that was exciting and I was stoked, till I realized that I really didn't have anything memorized. I didn't have an hour class to be able to give. I went home thinking that I would be able to practice and get things together, but my husband wanted to go out. We needed to go out and get some things so that we could survive. ;) People have to eat right?!? Well we got home at like 9pm, which gave me two hours to put together an hour class. And if you know how dances are, to put together a 3 minute dance takes about 30 minutes minimum. So I started, little hope in my head that I would be able to put together these dances and memorize them by the next day.
To be honest. By the end of the night, I was able to do the dances, if I was looking at the paper with the moves written down on them.
I went to the class, hoping for the best and thinking the most positive thoughts that I have ever thought before. Knowing that if I forgot something, I would just have to keep moving and keep smiling. Have fun. And definitely FAKE IT TILL YOU MAKE IT.
The music turned on. I was excited! And then my mind went blank.... I forgot it all. I made up every move on the spot. I played with the music. Smiled and laughed at my mistakes, and gladly they were able to follow me. They were smiling and after it all, they said it was fun and that I did a good job. Little did they know it was my very first class and I didn't remember any of the steps that I had created the night before. :)
But I can say. It was fun. I enjoyed myself and the owner came up to me after with a smile and asked if I would be able to come every Tuesday. And with that started my Zumba career.
I am still looking for classes and will be fighting my way to the top! I want to become a Zumba Jammer. I want to be able to teach the trainings! I want to teach on the Zumba Cruise! Hell! I will push and push till I get to the top!!!
Zumba is going to help me get that extra push to opening my own dance studio.
DanzaLife. <--------- One day you will be mine!
If you want to come to my zumba class, it's every Tuesday at 6:30pm at MC Intensity Studio
I promise you, it will be a party and I know the moves now ;)
