DJ (Dusty Jean)

Describes your Zumba classes:  
Heart Pumping-Thighs Burning-Good Fun Times
Favorite Dance Rhythm:  
A Flirty Cumbia, Sexy Salsa, or Pumping Reggaeton
Personal Stats:   
Zumba made the world spin for me again after my second boy was born.  My husband would practically push me out the door at night to go to my "dance class" just to take a break.  A little more than a year later and 70 lbs lighter, I moved from the back of the room to the front.   I hope to share the joy of Zumba with everyone who loves to wiggle and smile.  Even if you can barely salsa like when I started it's worth coming to the party to hear the music. 
Favorite Zumba Song:   
Shawty Got Moves.  If you want to compare Zumba to having a personal trainer...get thru this song without feeling your legs on fire.  It's awesome!
Why Zumba Rocks my World:   
Zumba is my safehouse to make noise and dance freely like when I was 11. 
Pet Peeves:    
When the boys knock over the folded laundry stacks. 
Turn Ons:    
When I can imagine myself on a disco floor looking cool.  Optimism in general makes it for me.
Turn Offs:   
When it takes 6 hours to finish my morning cup of coffee.

Why Zumba Rocks my World:
 I really love to dance and exercise. Zumba is perfect for both! Deb got me started 2 1/2 years ago, Carol got me interested in teaching, and here I am. Since I started teaching, I've lost 24 pounds!

Michelle


Describe your Zumba classes: I like to cram a lot into the hour we have together. As I'm learning the ropes of being an instructor, I've noticed my classes can range anywhere from a little silly to intense, but always sweaty!

Favorite Dance Rhythm: It's so hard to choose a favorite rhythm, but Reggaeton, Hip Hop, and Merengue are at the top of my list.
Personal Stats: Married to my super supportive husband, Dave. We have two kids, Sammie and Tripp.

Favorite Zumba Song: There's too many to mention and it changes, but often it's one of the latest songs Carol has introduced, ha ha!

Why Zumba Rocks my World: Aside from the obvious benefits of losing weight and getting into better shape, Zumba has been a huge confidence builder for me. But even better than that, I've made so many friends through Zumba. Who knew that exercising would lead to such a fun social life?!?!

Pet Peeves: Entitlement and people who don't thank you when you hold the door open for them.

Turn Ons: New Zumba clothes!!! Ok, let's be honest... new clothes, period. :-)

Turn Offs: Cold weather.
