Earlier this week, I got a text message from one of the other girls at zumba. She wanted to tell me, that they just put an extra zumba class on the schedule at the gym. The instructor already told us to keep an eye on the website, which I had been doing, before they put it on the schedule. I made sure to sign up for the extra class for the 3 following weeks. Of course next week I have to cancel the 2nd. class, so we can head off to the zumba event. Sadly, not many people are signing up for the second class.. Even yesterday, not many people showed up.. But that's ok. That means more room for us. Yesterday the instructor taught us a Cuban folk dance.. That was very strange because we have not been dancing in couples before.. But we all had fun. I of course messed up cause I'm not goid at being a mirror to someone. I guess I will get better eventualy ;) The zumba I go to on Wednesdays, is without mirrors, too.
I didn't go to latin mix and dance fit on Monday, but apart from that, I've been following my schedule pretty good. When today's zumba is over with, I have had 5 zumba classes and 1 dance fit class. Next week is going to be super crazy.. I'll have 1 latin mix class, 2 dance fit classes, 4 zumba classes and 4 zumba event classes.. 11 hours of being super active... Not to mention the week after, when I'll be doing somewhat the same.
Yesterday someone brought a pedameter (?) to the first zumba class.. After class, she said we had done more than 6000 steps. I read somewhere, that you take 10.000 steps.. But 6000 is enough when you put as much energy in to it as we do. Especialy when you have two of those classes in one day :). My personal calculation is on the scale. Last Friday I lost 900g. and yesterday I did the same. Of course during the week, I put the weight back on.. But eventualy I bet I will be able to keep the weight off.

Zumba, Michael Jackson and more dance
It's been a busy week, however, zumba was cancelled Wednesday due to another arrangement in the stadium.
Monday I had a class of latin mix and dance fit at the gym.. I can't remember when I have been sweating as much as I did then. It was a great work out, but I think my Ufo pants were a wrong solution that day. I will remember not to wear them again for a 2 hour work out.
Tuesday I had a dance fit class in the other gym. The instructors use 2 different types of music.. Hip hop/ dance and house. I personaly prefer hiphop, but when it comes to the dance routines that the instructors come up with, I prefer the house steps on Mondays.
Thursday night, I went to see a Danish ballet company. They have a show about Michael Jackon's life, from childhood to death. The titel of the show is "Michael, I'm Bad."

It was my first ever ballet, but I love dancing, so I decided it would be a once ina lifetime experience. My favorite movie is "Save the Last Dance" about The young girl Sarah who gives up ballet after her mom died in an accident.. Then she moves to her father in Chicago where the majority dance hiphop. She finds a friend who inspires her to persue her dream of going to the famous dance accademy Julliard. She dance contemporary ballet on stage before the judges and gets accepted. Yeah, that's how I know the little I do about ballet. My Brazilian zumba instructor also teaches at the Royal Danish Ballet. The "Michael, I'm Bad" ballet was a great experience. We had great seats. They used Michael's songs and interviews to tell the story of the young boy growing up and trying to keep the spirit of a child through Peter Pan. Occasionaly 16 ballet dancers would be on stage at the same time. You would think it was impossible, but it worked so well! It was contemporary ballet with traditional ballet. All in all a very good experience!
Yesterday I had my 2 hours of zumba and the instructor gave us great news. Not only will there be an extra zumba class on Saturdays. They will also start a Funk dance class for those, like me, who love dancing. I think I'm about to have the Spring of my life here :) I may be in my thirties, but I feel as if This time is better than my twenties!
Now it's Saturday morning and I'm on my way to Zumba again. Gotta love staying active!

Back to normal
Friday afternoon, I was finaly able to attend my regular 2 hours of zumba. My favorite instructor had returned from Brazil with lots of new music and steps for us. Well, because I do research of my own when it comes to zumbalicious music, I actualy already knew one of the songs :) The instructor mentioned something about eating healthy, no alcohol and going to bed early if we wanted to lose weight. I already know about that by now, but must admit, that I don't always follow the advise.
He also said: no more clubbing, and they all turned to me as if I was the only one likely to go clubbing.. Well, truth is, I only go clubbing a couple of times a year, so it's not gonna do much damage.
Saturday, I was suppose to go to zumba again, but it was cancelled due to an always busy zumba instructor.
Well, today I'm kick starting another busy zumba week. Although zumba is cancelled Wednesday, I have an hour of zumba lile latin mix and an hour of club dancing dance fit tonight. A class of dance fit tomorrow, 2 hours of zumba Friday and a zumba class Satutday.
2 people asked me if I wanted to go with them to a zumba event April 2nd, where our instructor will be among the instructors along with a famous Danish dancer, who has been in the Danish version of "ballroom dancibg." I always wanted to go, but hate going alone and also don't have a car to take me there.. Well, I'll make the final arrangements Friday.
April 9th., there's also an Easter zumba event in town, starring the same dancer. She has zumba classes in the capital. One of the women I already talked with about the other zumba event, said she would like to attend to that one too.. So I bought my ticket Saturday! This one is in town, so I won't need a ride, so I decided to just go ahead and buy the ticket.. So this Spring looks very promising for me and my zumbalicious life!
