I did Zumba today. ME! Erica B! I did an hour long class of Zumba. I know, you're thinking hell,…read moredoes she want a medal? Well let me inform you- I am the single most uncoordinated gal on the planet. I dance like Elaine on Seinfeld- actually she puts me to shame. I've been known to trip over lines in the sidewalk, carpeting that is too thick and run into walls without any given notice. Yes, I did Zumba. I was never aware of what this actually entailed, but was always slightly curious, though obviously not enough to warrant checking it out. A friend told me about the classes at Midtown Dance Studio, conveniently located in Minglewood Hall and within walking distance of my house. All this and only $7 bucks? ($40 unlimited all month- and they have weekday classes as well. Freaking steal!) There were no excuses. I agreed to go this morning. I foolishly researched a video of it a mere 30 minutes before leaving my house and almost backed out. This requires some serious rhythm. Which the dear Lord decided not to gift me. I put on my big girl panties, sucked it up and showed up for the 10 am class. Cue the warm up. Hey, this isn't so bad. I can keep up! Perhaps those videos I watched were advanced! Look at me go! I'm keeping up with the instructor. Next song, not as easy. Okay, I'm just out of shape. I just had a baby, it's hot in here. I can keep going with some minor adjustments to this crazy foot work. Two songs later, asking my friend for the time. We've gotta be close to wrapping this shit up. 10:22?!?!? WHAT?! Okay, I can do this. I can't breathe- but it's all good. Fake it till you make it! Oh, that lady in front of me is pausing. Good. I'll just go grab my water bottle. Whoa! What is going on with the footwork here? I catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror. I look like a lame horse or perhaps a donkey. Cue the incessant laughing by me and the little boy who was drug to the class by his mother. I can't stop laughing. I'm burning more calories laughing than shaking my hips. Is it just me or do parts of Zumba remind you of the dance Patrick Dempsey does at prom in Can't Buy Me Love? Laughing uncontrollably again. Cool down! Ahh yes. This wasn't bad. I was actually quite good. I can do this again next week! Judging by the extreme lack of rhythm going on in my class that thought process has to be pretty similar in everyone's head. Otherwise this place would be empty. If your excuse is that you think you'll make a fool of yourself- screw it. I just made a fool out of myself for the both of us and then some. It was fun. I enjoy laughing at myself- and really points to anyone for showing up and trying. I'll definitely be back- though I'll be having meetings with Billy Blanks in my living room this week to try and build up some stamina. That shit is rough yo!

This morning was their recital. The older kids did a ballet using the music and telling the story of the Wizard of Oz. The choreography was sensitive and obviously put together with a great deal of professionalism. Some of the older girls, in my humble opinion, seemed to have attained to a level of professionalism as well. I think that the recital, itself, provided a vision to the younger kids and their parents just to what level, they could attain, if they so chose. Of course, the choreography was appropriately suited for each age group. But I must admitted that my granddaughter stole the show.
