Zumba

Tonight's post is a brief, written one because I don't have audio or video to supplement my thoughts. I need to post something about dance, a type of art that in my opinion is under-appreciated by most people.  And I don't mean Dancing with the Stars dancing, although I love to watch that show, because it's show business. I'm talking about getting up and dancing on your own, no mirrors, no inhibitions. I danced for 15 years and love the energy of moving all limbs and expressing my body in motion. I'll never fully know why I chose to give it up, although maybe being 5'3" had something to do with it. I also have developed a passion for global music, especially Latin and South American beats. So when I saw a Zumba class I knew it would be perfect for me. I LOVE this class. Tonight we danced to some great latin grooves and electronica songs, some familiar some not.  It was so much fun. If I could put a color to it, it would be bright orange (of course!) This is inspiration of an energetic nature, a great start to the weekend. - l.o.d.
