Over the past 3 months I have been a Zumba instructor over here in Oz. 

If you don't know what Zumba is....... you should find out. It is the best dance workout class ever!!! It is a fusion of Latin and hip hop dance moves choreographed to the best music tracks ever.  It is such a great atmosphere because everyone is in class to have fun and get fit.  Which you don't even realize you are doing cause its so fun.  Anyone who knows me, knows I absolutely love to dance. If I were not a surfer I'd be a dancer.  Although you don't need to know how to dance to do Zumba.

My sister who was the first Zumba instructor in our family introduced me to Zumba.  After my sister, my cousin got certified, then my sister-in-law and I got certified, and now my mom is getting certified, and a couple of my best friends are getting certified too!!!! Its a great thing that we all share with each other and its soooooooo fun to do together! It is such a great thing and keeps me happy healthy and fit :)

If you love to dance and have not done a Zumba class yet, I highly recommend finding one in your area and going.
