Let’s just get one thing straight- I don’t really love exercising, who does, right? But I absolutely LOVE teaching Zumba classes! The reason is simple, I’ve never forgotten the fun I had in that first class, and that’s the feeling I want to share with everyone who takes my class! The goal is not to get all the steps perfect, it’s two things: sweat and smile!
