I would love to get "closer" to the lives I touch and change and that's why I have decided to set this blog up. Feel free to ask any questions or post comments, and Thank you for taking the time to read. God Bless you!

<br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Reminder: Today August 1st, is the last day that Zumba Technique class is $15. Tomorrow and that day it will cost $20</b></span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>So hurry up and register. Call me, email me, and you can pay cash, credit/debit, or checks.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Also, I wanted to let you know that the classes I teach in Solana Beach @ All Star Dance</b></span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>are now Tuesdays and Thursdays at 10 AM... and I am also accepting monthly payments for the month of August,</b></span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Per class it's $15 and for the month it's $100. </b></span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>That comes out to about $10 a class.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>I think that is what I will be doing for September as well, and will probably be opening a Tuesday night class at 7:30 PM</b></span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>at the same place in Solana Beach! YAY! </b></span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>So the monthly $100 will take you a bit further as of September.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>You are amazing and thank you all for your support!</b></span><br />

I need everybody to finish their current punch cards so we can start the new payment system. It's only fair for those of you who already have a card.

Please don't ever think different. You guys are far beyond my state of mind. You have become my day to day. If you're not happy, I'm not happy, and I wish you all the best.\ I just want you to know that you are my motor. What keeps me going and doing what I do.Sometimes I may not be at my best. I certainly try to. Sometimes I've just had a bad day, and I apologize. I really always want to give you my best and be the best instructor that I can. Thank you all for being so supportive!Unknownhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15392349132543389110noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4635284524793571054.post-3964445289884954962012-03-21T02:24:00.001-07:002012-03-21T12:28:40.958-07:00Change a world...Today I saw a student of mine, very sad. She was worried and thinking she was probably gonna get fired next week.She said "I'm living pay check to pay check." You know what, I thought.. so am I! I wasn't having the best week. I have so many many things to take care of. The whole class, all I could do was look at her, and all I could think of was, how can I make her smile? You know what? She brought me out of my depression and all I could think of was... how can I make her smile? Sometimes we all have moments...things that make us reflect on our lives, tough moments we may go through. Today, I asked God to make me understand why I am going through, whatever I am going through... And I realized... I am healthy and OK... How are you doing? We worry so much about the little things... We forget the big picture and forget the some people would like to have our problems, and think about what they have to do tomorrow. When all we have to do is accept what God gave us today and move on to tomorrow. Where we can be better and not worse. Where we can make a difference and not let it all be the same.. You can make a difference... with a simple smile. I did today. I changed a persons day, just by trying to be the best person I know how to, can you?Unknownhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15392349132543389110noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4635284524793571054.post-45903154233590755842012-03-14T23:25:00.000-07:002012-03-14T23:25:42.995-07:00Schedule!!!<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #274e13;">St. Patrick's Day Zumba</span></span></span><br />

I see it happen every day! People get hooked very easily and can't stop going. Which I think is wonderful! I love my job and to be able to be the "dealer", so to speak, is an honor! LOL...But... How much Zumba is too much? I don't think there's a limit! It's such a positive and beneficial addiction, that the sky is the limit. I know when I take a vacation, or a couple of days off I definitely start getting withdrawals by the second day. How long does it take you? In fact every Sunday night (when I don't teach on the weekends) I feel them coming on. So, the other day it occured to me I may need Zumba Rehab. Can you imagine? What would that be like? What kind of horrific place would that be where there would be people keeping you away from doing Zumba.<br />
Would the place be quiet...but not completely silent. They would constantly be playing fun music with the volume so low that you can't enjoy it, but loud enough to where you can identify the songs... to the point where you start yelling "Turn it up! Turn it up!". You would only be allowed to march to the music the whole time...no shaking... no wobbling...no body rolls... no clapping...No having fun. I imagine everyone would be frowning. No one is allowed to wear bright colors. So boring... so monotonous.<br />
That's why if anybody were to try and make me go to Zumba rehab.... I would have to say No, No, No!<br />
I want to go crazy and have fun so let's zumba on!!! Zumba is the best addiction I have ever known!Unknownhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15392349132543389110noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4635284524793571054.post-11011961681881932322012-02-02T14:23:00.000-08:002012-02-02T14:23:02.049-08:00Schedule and NEW LOCATION!<span style="color: purple; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Hello my dear dancers and Zumbistas! So sorry I haven't posted anything in a while. I've had a very hectic week. I moved to a new apartment and WAW... I didn't realize how much stuff I had. Luckily had great friends help me move. Also, I am looking for a roommate. I had one ined up but she backed out on my the day before the 1st :( Do you know of anyone who would like to rent a room in the UTC area? It's a great location and amazing apartment. Let me know!</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Although my stuff is still all over the place, I felt the urge to write on here and let you know that I'm back and ready to bring you some fun blogging. </span><br />

LOL. If you miss it, you will really miss it and have withdrawals. Just NOT kidding. Seriously, if you want to benefit from it, like any sport, you have to keep at it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> “What fits your busy schedule better, exercising one hour a day or being dead 24 hours a day?”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Randy Glasbergen, Cartoonist</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">- No matter what, keep moving. As long as you can move your body in some shape or form, you are able to Zumba. I once had a lady who needed a walker to stand, and even then she hardly ever missed a class. She would sit down on a chair and wave her arms as much as possible. So if she can, you can.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; white-space: pre;"> </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">“We do not stop exercising because we grow old - we grow old because we stop exercising.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Dr. Kenneth Cooper, Cooper Institute.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">- Remember to breathe. Keep your pace to a level you are comfortable with and check your pulse if necessary so you don’t over do it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">- If you want to work harder at it, push yourself to put a little more effort into it. Example: Like when we do a song with a lot of abdominal work, make sure and tighten your abs; When we do lunges, go a little lower; when we jump, jump a little higher, when we twist, twist a little more… get it? I burn about 900 calories a class. If I can, you can.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">- Feel the music! The music is your guide in Zumba. Did you know that Zumba should really be taught without a microphone? The music and changes in every song are all your guides to change steps. So listen and feel the music! If you’re not very musical, look out for my cues… I usually lift my foot a little more, turn my head, clap, or simply point towards the next step to keep you on it. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">- If you have a hard time doing both feet and arms, go for the footwork first and work your way up to doing both. Just wait till you’re comfortable. Remember, it gets easier every time! There will come a day when I will make a mistake and you will be the one to catch me! ;)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">- Don’t take it seriously! Zumba is made to get you in shape but more importantly to make you have fun and be happy! Don’t be shy or afraid others might judge you, or look at you funny. They are on the same boat as you are. Feel free to laugh at me, or at yourself and take it all lightly. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">- Smile! It will make you feel so, so, so much better if you do. When you see yourself in the mirror you will reflect happiness to yourself and to all of those around you. Sometimes the person next to you needs a smile, you just might make their day. No matter what kind of day you’re having, smile… </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> “Smile. It’s the second best thing you can do with your lips.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">- Make sure and stay for the cool down. It is VERY important that you stretch after a Zumba class. You’re muscles need it so you don’t hurt yourself. If for some reason you have to leave the class earlier, make sure and give yourself time to stretch before you go. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">- Bring in your best energy! I know sometimes it’s hard to do because this thing called life happens, but a class with positive energy is always more fun. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> “Positive thinking evokes more energy, more initiative and more happiness.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">With that said, I leave you my dearest dancers, Zumbistas, readers, or Curious George’s or Georgettes. Much love and positive energy from me to you this week and keep this in mind for the next class.</span>Unknownhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15392349132543389110noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4635284524793571054.post-53507096578736818922012-01-09T07:00:00.000-08:002012-01-09T07:00:03.631-08:00Schedule this week!

Oh yeah.. I kicked it!<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Hello my fellow zumbistas! I'm exhausted after a day in which I only had 2 classes but tried to kick every body's butt...I ended up kicking my own in the process! My legs are in serious pain, my waist feels like I lost a size and a half, and my glutes OMG!</b></span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>It's all because one of my good students told me recently she felt I haven't been hard enough on her and her class, and that she wanted me to push her further and make her sweat more. So...anywayyy... I tried really hard to do that in my morning class and everyone seemed to like it there so I just did the same at the Y in the afternoon (but gave the added wobble/lunge song, which, correct me if I'm wrong but WOW). I believe even the students who weren't in my class today felt pain in their glutes. LOL </b></span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">(Show of hands on who felt that one!)</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Funny story: After all my planning and playlist organizing, and butt kicking, the student that told me I need to turn it up a notch didn't even make it to class today. Lol! But that's O.K. We still did it and we all survived.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>A little tip for everyone who wants to get the most out of their Zumba class: </b></span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>No matter how fast, slow, high or low impact the instructor is doing his/her class, you can always give it your 150% and I can assure you, you will sweat, and you will burn almost double the calories.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Remember it's different for an instructor because we HAVE to give it are 150% for some students to give it a possible 70%. (NOT EVERYBODY, BUT YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN). That's why, when I've been injured, I tell you to jump even if I don't. ;o)</b></span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Remember, no matter what mood we're in, no matter if we're having a bad day, PMS-ing, mad at somebody, stressed, unmotivated, desperate, frustrated, etc. as instructors we still have to walk into our class, put on our best smile and give out the best-est most positive energy we can. </b></span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>This usually is easy and comes naturally but, there have been only about 2 times in my life when I have actually wanted to cry while teaching in front of everybody (which I will tell you about in future posts). </b></span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>The key for me is to focus on you and kick my emotions' butts, sooo, to all of you who smile back and give it your best thank you for being so awesome even when I try and kick your butts and you can't take it anymore. Thanks for keeping at it. You are troopers. And last but not least, thank you for kicking my butt and teaching me a lesson. You rocked it today! Mely hugs to all and c u soon!</b></span><br />

When I tell people what I do for a living, and I say "Dance or Zumba Instructor" many people say "Oh! That's so cool! You can actually get a workout while you work!" or "That's why you're so skinny!" or "That's so cool that you can do what you love!", but the truth is, these may have been my reasons to pursue this as a career initially, but through my years of experience, the list has grown much longer and deeper. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">That's, thanks to many of my students! :) It's amazing how zumba/dancing can change your life! Of course, a lot of people feel great health wise, once they get addicted to Zumba. I am so proud to see dedicated students lose weight and walk in thinner to every class. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">More importantly though, I feel so proud to be part of a change that has occured within them. Not only have they lost weight, or have become addicted to zumba or dancing, but they have changed emotionally as a person. I have seen Zumba (and dancing) transform people in ways that only something sacred could. I have watched so many of my students grow on personal and emotional levels, and just look at life from a different perspective. So it's an honor and a gift to be able to do what I do. I love every minute of it and more so, the impact it may have on others. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Although it's not always easy to keep a happy face for everyone, I try my best to do it. To smile as much as I possibly can, and send out good vibes and positive energy to all of you who take my class. Even though I may not know your name, my mission has always been and will always be to make the world a better place one smile at a time. So I hope today I make you smile, and you make someone else smile too. ;o) That way we will have all done our part in making the world a better place! </span></div><span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><a name='more'></a></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If you are a person who has been changed by Zumba or Dancing, I would love to read about it. So feel free to post your comments...</span></div>Unknownhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15392349132543389110noreply@blogger.com3
