Woooooo Hooooo!
This weekend I am taking the ZUMBA instructor training course in Connecticut.
I am VERY excited to get formally trained in how to most effectively shake my groove thang, and how to teach a class to get down with their bad selves!
I already teach step and regular hi/lo aerobics classes, but ZUMBA is dancing!
It is meringue and samba! It is salsa-licious!
It is Shake-it-like-Shakira FUN!
My Aloha Rump Shaker Questions For You Are:
1. What is your favorite song to DANCE to?
2. Do you dance in public, or are you more of a private dancer?
3. Have you ever tried Zumba?
4. Would you take Zumba if I were the teacher AND I promised not to post pictures of you Zumba-ing on my blog?
Kailani knows how to shake it.
Stumble It!

Hi I'm Janice, found you on Buried with Children... You have some great ideas on your blog!
And... yes I love to dance even in public. I'd love to try that Zumba class, I'm dropping my baby making weight and it would be a great way to work in that cardio! Crazy life - I love to dance and my husband loves to dance to ~ just not in public - dang it! ;p
I actually rarely dance. I'm not a very musical person!
I am thisclose to taking Zumba. You can be my teacher any time.
I love to dance!
I would probably try a class once or twice, but I have not always loved group classes. I love to dance, but apparently I do not love being told how to do it. There's a disconnect. My head wants to listen and learn but my bod wants to do its own thing...
I LOVE to dance!! Any song that has a strong beat is great for working-out. I totally dance in public even if sometimes I look like a freak from "FAME!"
Have fun! Let us know how it goes...
I don't dance especially in public and have never tried zumba but my wife loves it.
I haven't danced in a very long while. I used to like to dance to 'Copacabana' a lot. I've never heard of Zumba, let alone tried it! I would definitely take it if you were the teacher though!
This sounds a lot like Jazzercize. I used to take those classes a few years ago! Have fun!
sounds like fun! but I'm still working on signing up for a yoga class. Can't seem to actually commit. lol
I would totally take your class and I would even POSE for picture to go on your blog. I know....I would be an excellent student!!! I enjoy "4 Minutes" by Justin Timberlake and Madonna...
?????? on the song- I like a lot!
I dance anywhere.
Yes, I've done it.
I would take your class but borrow MJ's kids masks now that they aren't hiding their faces. I don't trust your sneaky little butt not to post!!
Zumba sounds fun! I love to dance and will dance to EVERYTHING!
I mostly just dance with my three year old who thinks it's funny and I don't have to try too hard.
Zumba intrigues me but I'm not very gifted in the dancing department - I'd take it if you were teaching it, maybe, but I'd also be terribly worried you'd think I'm a big huge dweeb - haha.
Hah, I'll never forget - the only time I took a Zumba class I was the only one in it. It was a bit awkward since the teacher just kept looking at me and only me. But I would definitely take it again, especially if you were serving it up. I really love Jazzercize too - it's not just for old fogies.
Right now, I love dancing to Where is the love by the black eyed peas. I hold my 11 month old daughter and we move around to the beat (only in private). I have never Zumba'd, but it was very popular when I lived in the Carribean.
I haven't taken Zumba but I have been thinking about it for a while. I would totally take it if you were the instructor, but alas I am pretty sure that commute would be a bit too much to handle.
Whoo Hooo! to you for teaching Zumba!
I'm not a dancer. Matter of fact, people ask me NOT to dance! LOL! So, it's safe to say that I'm a private dancer.
I can dance to hip hop mostly, it gets me moving.
I've never taken Zumba before although I was tempted to order from the informercial!
I'd take your class, but you can't go back WRITING about Diva Ma either. I have no rhythm!
Totally can see you being an aerobics instructor. Do you wear the little mic at your mouth??
1. Sexy Back by Justin Timberlake. Never gets old. Actually anything off of his Future Sex/Love Sounds album is great.
2. I go out to dance when I can. I love to dance and get ma groove on!
3. Never tried Zumba but a lot of friends have and raved about it.
4. Sure...but how about a deal? I allow my pictures to be the butt of your jokes if I get to take the class for free? Yes? Ok deal!
Great Blog!!!!!!!!!!

I don't dance so much anymore, but man did I used to shake a groove thing. I have never heard of Zumba and I'm not really into exercise classes, I'm more of a lone worker-outer, so I probably wouldn't do it. Sounds cool, though!
I don't have a favorite dance song and I'm a private dancer definitely not in public. As long as you pinky-swear not to show pictures on your blog I'd love to take Zumba lessons from you.
I can't dance...I can't move my top half and bottom half at the same time. I do love Step class tho!
How cool :) love to dance here and would definitely take the class if you are the teacher. :) have an awesome weekend!
I'm going to trust you b/c I've got a feeling you're at the same fitness level I am. Is this really a good cardio workout, like equalivant to Billy Blanks or Amy Bento?
I love love love Zumba!!!! I'm actually kind of obsessed with it. best workout ever!! Let us know how your training course goes!
I am NOT a public dancer. I have rhythm in a musical sense, but somehow it doesn't translate into dancing rhythm... I would take your class, but only once. I'm nice like that. And if you took my picture? I'd probably die...
I tend to stay away from the dance type of fitness classes, but I MIGHT take your class assuming I had a few drinks in me first. ;)
I LOVE to dance! I love to go out and go dancing! Anywhere and any sort. Except the naked kind. That's not my bag.
Zumba is new to me, though. I'll have to do some research.
HOWEVAH, if you were involved, I'd do it because you could make rock-picking fun!
I used to love to dance to Madonna. I never really like dancing in public, unless I had a few drinks - lol!
I never heard of Zumba, sounds cool.
I have heard of this and I think that I might have to try it also. I hope you get your grove on and burn some major calories in the process!
I might take it if you could guarantee that my ass-which refuses to quit moving when I do-wouldn't swing right around and knock me down. Just sayin.'
I would love to take a dance class of any kind but I am to uncoordinated. I would fall and break myself.
Zumba sounds like fun. But alas, I am a klutz and would probably spin myself into a wall or something. I really don't dance. I sort of stand there and twitch.
So while you are in Connecticut, maybe you can stop by the Small Town and teach me to Zumba? Well, it was worth a shot :).
I bet you run a fun class!
And, I am not a public dancer...EVER!
Fantastic! Dance has got to be the most fun way to exercise!
IF I danced, I like Shakira (in Spanish, before she was in English translation). But I don't dance. I watch my daughters dance though. It looks like so so so much fun!
Goodness . . . I don't think I could shake it even if I knew how! LOL!
never done zumba....but dang girl i drop it like its hot over here!!! and you better believe i'm a public dancer!
My favorite song to dance to is probably "Getting Jiggy With It' by Will Smith. (Also, it was the first one I thought of.)
I am so a private dancer. I can only be free and pretend I'm actually graceful if I am alone. If forced to dance in public, I always do "joke" dancing (like the Robot) so people know that I know I'm bad.
And I would so take a Zumba class by you ... I just think the commute is a little long! Have fun!
LOVE Zumba. I do it every chance I get. If I could get to a class with you teaching, I would. I think you should post a vlog of your class. You know, like a blog video Zumba instruction class? So I can take your class!
idk if i'd believer that you ~who~whips~out~cell~phones~to~
take~pics~while~DRIVING would be able to contain your instincts and NOT take a pic;)
Typically, I'm a private dancer, a dancer for money, do what you want me to do...
A private dancer, a dancer for money, and any old music will doooo....
1. fave song depends on how tipsy i am at the mo'
2. i'll dance anywhere... but i like the sound of "private dancer"
3. didn't even know what zumba was, so thanks for such an educational blog
4. i would sooo take it with you
good luck, rump shaka!

I would love to take Zumba classes with you! I keep hearing about it and it sounds like a blast! (You should make a Zumba dvd!)
I Loooove dancing. I dance in private or in public...when it's appropriate of course.
I love to dance. I am always jumping around at home.
I would love Zumba. Expecially if you were the instructor. You could even post pictures.
(I have a great sense of humor about myself.)
My best friend SWEARS by Zumba!!! So maybe I'll have to give it a try now...
I LOVE Zumba!!!! My instructor is AWESOME. It's such a fun workout. But, boy, it's high cardio!! Woo!
Have a great time learning to teach it. You'll be a great instructor!!!
