Class #54 Zumba Thursday 6:40 p.m. (Emiliana)
This evening's Zumba class with Emiliana Ellsworth marks the half-way point in my Find Fred Group Ex journey. I'm excited about attending another Zumba session after some marginal improvement during my previous experience last week. As I mentioned before, Zumba is great fun and a challenging workout, but it takes some time to learn the steps and technique. We have a nice group of 15 participants this evening. Emiliana turned the Studio 1 lights down low and we began our Latin dance session. It's been a long day for me and I have to switch my brain to relaxation mode. The pulsating music does the trick and I've learned not to worry too much about duplicating Emiliana's amazing dance technique. She recommends we find our own connection with the music and let the movement naturally flow. This hour long class consists of different Latin music songs, each with a different feel and speed. Dance styles this evening included both Merengue and Salsa. Rest assured you get a GREAT workout. I worked up a good sweat early and the music made the hour just fly by.
This evening, Emiliana stepped aside for one of last songs and let two of our young class participants take the stage and lead the class for one song. I was so impressed with the ability of our two aspiring Zumba instructors. It was plain to see they have been working on the choreography and we gave them a well-deserved round of applause as they finished. Bravo! This was my third Zumba class this evening. I can't say I'm getting much better, but I continue to have great fun. Emiliana is simply wonderful and I highly recommend giving any of her Zumba classes a try. I salute you Emiliana!
