Enjoying the Zumba Party |

Fitness is stress relief and I’m always intrigued to try new types. Working out alone is typical but last year I found friends to workout. The trouble has always been the distance. Races are always a minimum 45 minute drive, fitness classes with friends were at least an hour and yoga could be up to an hour and a half. It just wasn’t possible for a regular workout and so I stuck with the gym and some DVDs.

Then a friend I met at a jewelry party invited me to try out her favorite Zumba class. Everyone else liked it so much they were excited for midnight class outside, even in the fall rain. I was intrigued. I went to the first class and was hooked. It’s been a great workout; a need a shower workout.

But more than a workout, Zumba feels like a party with friends. Dressing up in my Zumba best and dancing with my friends makes my week.

I might be a bit of a Zumba addict. The first weekend in March 40 people from our class went to a Blacklight Zumba Party.

We had so much fun before we even before we arrived, talking about outfits, food, dinner out and so much more. We took a school bus like old band trips from high school. Lots of fun…even a mini snow storm on our stop for a necessity – Dunkin Donuts Smile

And because it was a black light party a large group of us had a t-shirt cutting party the week before so we’d glow. Anyone else remember trying to find white jeans for the black lights at school dances?
