Zumba!

Picture Britney Spears music and her moves mixed in with a little Carmen Electra. This morning, I met Nancy at church for a Zumba class and let's just say that we looked like fish out of water. I think we laughed or looked confused just about half of the class!! We had to pull out our inner-hip-hop, and I know it's there...we just have to keep pulling. It was so much fun, though, and I'm going to keep it up. I can already feel it in my abs and back, but that may be from laughing so hard. I've got moves I didn't know I had! Watch out.

hahaha! I can just picture you in my head and I'm laughing. I wish you would have snapped some pics of each other. Next time take a video of it.

BTW, how would you know what Carmen Electra dances like? :)

Nancy said...

I had fun Donna! Practice up for next time! I know I will!

Chrystal said...

What fun! I can't wait to join you girls at Zumba!! Thanks again for the dinner. It looks delicious! We will really enjoy it tonight.

Oh, what I wouldn't have given to be a fly on the wall for that! Did y'all wear the silk skirts like belly dancers wear?

Wait a minute...what is a Baptist church doing offering dance classes? I tell you what, what will they do next? Start putting real wine in those little plastic Lord's Supper cups instead of grape juice???

You'll have to let me know if they offer child care when you go. I would love to try a Christian Zumba class. The ones are the Y are insane!

Dolly said...

Jennifer, you are one funny girl! I'm LOL!

I've always wanted to zumba, but I'm a chicken. I come from a very long line of white Baptists, so rhythm is not included in my DNA. At all. Like I can't clap and sing at the same time (not that I can sing anyway; that's missing too - make it tone deaf white Baptists...) I'm proud of you for going!

Nancy said...

Kristin - I'm with you - same song same verse and it doesn't matter. You can ask Donna - of course, she does have rhythem (and I can't even spell it!) and is a good dancer. But I'm not! And it is fun and a good workout.

We'll be looking for you in March or April!!

Jennifer - your church still uses grape juice?

Donna said...

Uhhh, girls...ditto Kristin's comment. I CANNOT dance at all! Nancy, you must have been seeing things if you think that I was a good zumba-er.

And I'm laughing at your comment to Jennifer about the grape juice:)

I love the Zumba class! I don't think I've ever laughed so hard at myself. When you start having to shake your hips I realized all the places that didn't have muscle. The next day I felt all the pain in my stomach... most likely from all the laughter!

I LOVE Zumba! I go to the Zumba class at my YMCA twice a week! You'll get it. Hang in there! Most people usually end up just doing their own thing anyways!

Cissie said...

What!?!? where are the pictures, i thought a true blogger takes her camera everywhere! I am laughing so hard! I have been wanting to try Zumba so bad, but I need a partner...there is no way I am doing it by myself! I know what I am getting you for your birhtday...A belly chain!

Where is the video...or the pictures of this event???!!!

Amy said...

That's awesome Donna! I'm sure it's a great workout. I am catching up on posts and I love the Marley and Me post - we saw that movie too and cried our eyes out. RA is so adorable - I LOVE the opera screech face!!!

I would have been WORTHLESS from belly laughing in there. I sure wish I could be a fly on the wall!!!! You go, hot mommas, you GO!
