Omg.. How did I not know?!
Omg… how did I NOT know (or realize) that THIS community was in existence?!!!!!
I LOVE Music 🎶 & I LOVE to Dance 💃!!!!
And I’m also a ZUMBA Fitness & Dance Instructor who’s constantly “picking out music, choreographing routines to music , and dancing my way through music”!
Awesome to see this community~ 😁
@PoliteOcean
I know right?! what a fantabulous community to become a part of. Welcome onboard, Oceann!🤗
@PoliteOcean
I'm glad you found the community! I also love music and I used to teach group fitness too. I never got certified to teach zumba though. My favorite was spin and kickboxing. :)
Oh that’s awesome! I just started getting into Kickboxing myself and love it!…(I specifically like “Aqua” Kickboxing which is pretty interesting adding in the resistance of the water)…..My hubby loves spin (that’s a little too wild for me) 😂😂😂
Are you still currently instructing any other classes or are you an active participant?! (I like taking a step back and doing that as well) lol
@PoliteOcean
I haven't taught in quite a few years. My body shut down and I've been dealing with medical issues ever since then. Teaching spin was hard because it was too much exercise for me because the gym I worked at required you teach "on the bike." So I finally quit.
@Kristynsmama
i understand… being an instructor is challenging. It can also surely take a toll on the body! (Mind and spirit too)~
I have taken a break myself due to a previous injury and some other personal matters, to focus on more SelfCare.
I still maintain my licenses but do enjoy being a participant.
@PoliteOcean
Yessss! *pinches* it's not a dream, isn't it?! It's amazing here! Lovely to have you here Ocean!!😍
@PoliteOcean "ZUMBA Fitness & Dance Instructor" :o wow...give me ideas for the sub-community xD would be grateful for input and feedback. I am absolutely not a dancer..never moved a inch xD
@BlueRivercares
Haha.. Hey there River! I can definitely do that… we can start a “Zumba inspired dance party”!! 💃 🪩 🎶
A Zumba inspired dance party sounds amazing!

Good mental health and moving your body go hand in hand. 💃🩰🕺And, music soothes the soul. 🎶🎹🎸🎵
This community is the perfect healing partner on our own individual journeys. 🙏💫💕
@Rainboho
Yes I totally agree.. as Both a Nurse & Fitness instructor, our entire well-being is based on Mental, Emotional & Physical wellness. They all go hand in hand together. Absolutely!
Music can be such a big part of that journey when used in healthy, positive & creative ways! ~
The freedom that I always feel when I'm dancing, that feeling of letting yourself go, expressing yourself through music etc… I think it’s why I always loved to dance so much. Music can take you places mentally that you might never get to travel to otherwise!
