Halloweeeeen!

This week it's getting spooky in my Zumba classes with a few Halloween routines for a bit of fun! Also wearing fancy dress...insteresting when jumping around to fast music but hey....have to do it for the theme!

Party in Pink - check out my sequinned Fedora Hat!

I instructed at a Zumbathon in Blyth in aid of breast cancer research. Lots of fun and met some fab, friendly, fellow instructors - shown in the picture!

ZUMBA TONING!!!!

I am very exciting that my new Zumba Toning classes start next week and places are already fully booked! The choreography is fabulous and I really hope all of my ladies enjoy it :-)

Here are the toning sticks, ready and waiting......

My new shoes

Reebok Zigs...very good for cushioning and support I have heard. And they are pretty funky too!

A busy weekend!

But it was well worth it because I am now licensed in ZumbAtomic (childrens), Zumba Gold (active older adults/over 50s) and Zumba Toning (with lightweight toning sticks). Classes coming soon!

Zumba Gold starts on Wednesday 5th October at St. Aidans Church, Benton. 11am-12pm. £3. Woohoo!

Not really Zumba related...

But here I am dressed up like Lady Gaga!!! (Best mate's birthday night out)

Safety first

Tomorrow I will be learning about health and safety. And I suspect I might have to "kiss the dummy" like in high school first aid. Yummy.

Excited about my new song discovery....

Isn't this just perfect for warmdown (pre-stretch). What a beautiful, uplifting song - how have I not heard this before!?

A healthy snack

Fresh strawberries and banana, with honey drizzle to sweeten!

My new ZKickz. Previously I wore Bloch split sole dance sneakers to teach in - whilst I had no issues and found them very comfortable I have been converted to ZKickz! They are designed for Zumba and are light as a feather, making footwork much easier :-)

It's a glorious day in Newcastle. First Zumba job of the day - flyer drop to promote one of my new classes that starts next week. I'm wearing comfy Nike trainers, lots of walking to be done!!

Welcome...

to the diary of a Zumba Instructor. This is the first time I have used a blogging site. Things could get verrry interesting!
