Hi everyone,

I’m sorry that I haven’t been in touch for so long, but I really had no news until now. As it stands, after trying all sorts of procedures including physical therapy, PRP, and wearing a boot for most of last year, my ankle has still not healed. I am now waiting to be admitted into an experimental trial in the fall.

I also found out on Friday that I have a torn meniscus in my left knee. With all this happening, and with me being away from Zumba for so long, I have decided to retire from teaching. This was not a an easy decision (as teaching Zumba was truly my happy place). However, it’s just been too long and I am no where near being physically fit to teach any classes.

Getting to know you over the past nine years has been a blessing. I am truly sorry that we won’t be together in this capacity again. I gave my all in every class that I taught and I did my best to make sure that you all had a great time. I hope that you all enjoyed classes as much as I did…I had a blast!

Please feel free to reach out to me and I hope that if you see me out and about, that you will say hello. Thank you for all of the love and joy that you have brought to my life. I wish you the best and I will miss you all. ❤️ 😢

Sincerely,
Lauren

Hi everyone! I just wanted to update you all as it’s been a while. I just had my second procedure and it looks as though I’ll be out for a few more months as I have to have two more. You all are always in my thoughts and I miss you more than I can say. ❤️🎶😊 💃🏽

Hi everyone! I just wanted to update you with regards to my procedure on my Achilles and where I’m at now.

The procedure was done just over three weeks ago and I had to wear a boot for about 2 1/2 weeks.

I am just starting to walk without the boot and will soon have to start physical therapy in the next couple of weeks. My ankle is still very sore and I’m walking with a limp. Stairs are still a challenge but it’s also very early in my recovery.

I hope that you are all well. I think of you all the time and I am doing my best to get back to teaching. I will continue to update you when I have something significant to write.

In the meantime, I will try to update you with regards to class cancellations, etc. Please feel free to message me and keep in touch.
Thank you all for your support and take care ❤️❤️❤️
