When I think about finally becomming a Zumba instructor I get a bitter sweet feeling - but mostly sweet. I try to tell myself just to be myself and everything will be great. I have a bubbly personality with a great sense of humor. I love to smile and laugh when granted of course. I'm trying to delay Botox for a long as I can so I think of that sometimes before I smile or laugh ..haha. I'm smiling just thinking about that silly thought;)
The closest I've ever come to interacting with the public was working in an ice cream shop or at Tim hortons. Yes of course I was nervous to say my greeting line " Can I help who's next?". I was great eventually. I smiled and even flirted too. Now that I'm thinking about it..I think it'll be great. I just have to keep reminding myself of that.
Teaching a Zumba Workout Class is kinda like leading an army....the Canadian Army....or Even Marines! It's a life or death scenario - they'll either feel my vibe or they won't and if not we'll all go down. naaaa ..that's a little extreme. Let me try a different analogy.
Teaching a Zumba workout class is like stand up comedy - you gotta impress them because if you don't, they won't come back, and they won't feel the party. Yeah ...that's a good one. So ...2 months and 3 days left or less if I decide to do Gold first to get on that awesome ZIN Network.
I will give it a shot and I will give it my all as soon as I get the chance. I will merengue my brains out!
Chao Bellaz!
Hi:) I feel what u r saying, totally...Basically I am in the exact same situation, a big part of me wants to become Zumba instructor, but i have a huge problem-shyness. The very thought of standing in front of ppl (even in my own class, who know me, and hopefully, like me) paralises me, it makes my jaw clench and so my fear is obvious. I am taking some extra dance lessons, working on my self, but the fact is that the main problem is in my head.
