What's the challenge?
To teach a Zumba class.
What are you afraid of?
Making a fool of myself.
How was the experience?
Ever since I started going to Zumba classes, I would practice in front of my mirror imagining that I had a big crowd following my steps. But, when I thought about actually becoming a part-time Zumba instructor I would discourage myself by thinking I could never memorize a routine or that I don't have what it takes. So this time I decided to face this fear and lead a real Zumba class for a couple of songs. I was extremely nervous to screw up and confuse the students with the steps. So, I put on my Thync device to get all the energy I was looking for, I wore my Zumba Wear to help with my moves and I practiced different steps all day long to get it right. Once there, my anxiety levels went up, but as soon as the class started, the energy was soooo amazing that I started to enjoy every moment of it. There were about 100 people following my steps, plus an audience watching the event! It was just great. The actual instructor, Idania Gonzalez from the Z Club NY, was extraordinary! I want to go to all of her classes from now on! Thank you Zumba team for letting me be part of this fun event!!! Once I gain some resistance I'll reconsider my dream of becoming an instructor. For now, I need to start exercising again.
