CONGRATULATIONS, new Zumba® Gold and Zumba® instructors!!! Our ZIN family just grew a bit larger in the pacific northwest, with a wonderful group of humans from Washington and Oregon. We danced, we laughed, we learned with each other, and we got about 14,000 steps over 9 hours. Y'all were ZINcredible!

I can't wait to hear where your Zumba® skills take you - churches, neighbors, elders, individuals with special needs, gyms, senior centers, you name it! I loved hearing from all of you and would love for you to tell me what and when you start teaching!

So much love for all of you

Mentors are important and can play a critical role in our development as instructors as well as humans. The mentor who gave me the next piece of advice was a tremendous mentor and opened some big doors for me. At the same time, even a trusted mentor can be wrong once in a while. 13 years ago plus a few months, a mentor I deeply admired told me that I would never be a presenter for Zumba, either as a Jammer or as an education specialist. She told me that although my choreography was good and my teaching skills were top notch, the field was so wide and deep that Zumba could choose anyone and would be more likely to choose someone a bit more presentable.

That hurt. A LOT. A few weeks later, I contacted U-Jam and offered the gym where I worked as a host facility for their training. They came to Portland and the first U-Jam instructors in Oregon came from that training. Yes, U-Jam fans, if you fell in love with U-Jam because of an instructor at Bally / Boom, like Crystal and Nisi and Sarah, I'm probably your great-great-great U-Jam grandmother! Anyhow.... 13 years ago today at 9:15am, I taught my first U-jam class. 😜🤪🤣😂

I can’t say that I was any better at U-jam and then I was at Zumba. In fact, I was probably worse as a dancer, but I was bad with GREAT ENTHUSIASM and enthusiasm gets attendance in a nonjudgmental gym environment. It felt nice to have a short period of a rebellion.

After about a year, I decided that I was more of a Zumba instructor than a U-jam instructor. Four years later, when I wasn't looking for the job, I was asked to apply. I DIDbecome both types of presenters for Zumba.

Even our mentors can be wrong once in a while. Listen to them. Really, really listen. Then decide which portions of their advice will sink in and which parts will roll off.

LOL, I still cue like that sometimes, with the focused face and the strong arm up with fingers flying.

Tonight was an AWES0ME night at IMX Pilates. I got to see a member I haven't seen in about 8 months return to the studio - welcome back, Emira!! I also got to see a former member return after 3 years gone. She came to say hi and thanks. She's now finished her physical therapy degree and working in the PT field. It felt very rewarding and also humbling that she said she learned many of her cuing skills / idioms / client tricks that she uses today... from me! 🩷 That's pretty cool. She wanted to buy a private session from me but i suggested we do a collab so we can share / teach each other.

I have PT's, OT's, doctors and surgeons as clients in my group pilates classes. Sometimes it makes me nervous! And sometimes it makes me feel jealous because halfway through grad school in tax accounting I decided I wanted to be a physical therapist and I wasn't brave enough to switch course. So it's very special to me when a PT appreciates and even thanks my work. I will never be a PT, and yet I can help people move well.

Zumba + Lift TIPS for rows.
Great work today, team! Here's a short tip video for how to get the most out of your rows while protecting your low back. Keeping the core engaged and moving from the scapula and arm rather than lifting the spine itself can quickly improve your movement comfort and effectiveness.

See you soon!

The muscle diagrams are in Zumba + Lift Modifications fb group if you want more details.

I'm so proud of this class!

A lovely long-term member in my Zumba class came up to me last Monday and said she was so relieved to see me; she had heard that I moved to Washington. Oregon friends, please don't panic! I'm NOT moving yet! I know it's easy to guess and chit-chat, but the chit-chat that's going around isn't correct. YES, my husband and I bought a beautiful home in Bremerton, WA. YES, it's always been my dream to return to Puget Sound and spend my last days tickling my toes in salt water. So, YES, we will retire there in a few years. NO NO NO NO we're NOT moving yet. First of all, there's no furniture. Second of all, our daughter has 2 more years of school. Plus, I've built a wonderful career here in the area that will break my heart to leave.

Over the next two years, we'll be moving gradually, and I have time to plan what businesses I'll keep, which ones I'll sunset, and which ones I'll transfer to online. Everything will be well planned and communicated. I would never just move without saying good bye and wrapping up business with clients and classes. MUV Zumba, I've been teaching in that building almost 30 years, including our 15+ with Zumba and Hi-Lo years before that. We will party. We will dance. I will cry. Then, I'll move. But not yet.

So, if someone tells you I'm moving to Bremerton before fall of 2028, they are either a fortune teller or they didn't hear it from me.
