Let Me Tell You About White Girls Dancing

Zumba

I told you about my love for Zumba, right? Well, since Igwe and I moved, I have not actually attended that Zumba class because it’s about 50 minutes away from where we lived.

12 Lessons I’ve Learned From Zumba

Zumba

I attended weekly Zumba classes for a few months last year. I went about two to three times a week, and it was really, really fun. Hadn’t ever maintained any physical activity for that long.

Me & Igwe At My Zumba Class = Epic Fail!

Zumba

I’ve been attending Zumba classes for about a month now while Igwe has been a gym rat. I hate the gym; I’ve tried twice, and I realize now that it’s just not my thing. Igwe has been making fun of my Zumba classes, saying “It’s just dancing,” so I challenged him to come with me to just one class.   As fate  would have it,  yesterday was Labor Day, so he didn’t have to work.
