Zumba Instructor - Anxiety & Shyness

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!

How to Learn Samba Step

The origin of this step comes from Brazil and I learnt to do this step last night. Found an awesome www.youtube.com video and posted it on my website at www.zumbaworkoutscanada.com

This step will get your heart rate up like an intense merenge or salsa step because you're hopping from one foot to another. I was doing this step all wrong before but it was more important to not fall over myself. With my belly dancing background it actually looks pretty good for not much practice. I'll keep practicing it to improve my styling technique.

I'm so looking forward to using this in my next Zumba workout session

Zumbaworkoutscanada.com

I'm having lots of fun creating a website with yahoo. It's nice to get into a new thing. I've gotten myself into a lot of things but nothing really clicked yet.

  • Sheridan to become a systems analyst - 2 out of 3 years completed
  • Extra sales training as aimed for inside sales jobs - where no doesn't really mean no;)
  • Web, Graphic Design & SEO Experience through self learning
  • Fashion Construction & Design at George Brown College
  • Oh yeah, Beginner and Intermediate Courses in Belly Dancing ;)
  • And now Fitness Class Instructor and A Zumba Soul brought me to this point:)

I've been saying lately that it would be nice to have a career that I'd actually love doing. I like to inspire people and to make lives better. It's surely icing on the cake when it involves dancing because I love to dance. Maybe this is the silver bullet venue I needed. If you have any suggestions about the website let me know. http://www.zumbaworkoutscanada.com/

What is a Zumba Soul?

The Zumba Soul

It is a soul that laughs, smiles after being invigorated by taking a zumba workout class near you. Allow a zumba workout release good endorphins into your body as you continue your day. Zumba is not about working out. It's about having fun around great music and as an added perk, you lose weight the more often you do it. To do zumba you don't need to come with a positive attitude because that attitude comes right to you during your sessions so that you leave an invigorated soul.

My name is Farida, and I am in the process of becoming a Certified Zumba Workout Class Instructor - And I look forward to sharing my dance talents with you all. My thanks go to everyone who encouraged me to take this step. My specialties are Belly dancing, Batchata to work the abs, Salsa!, Reggaeton, Reggae, Merengue, Mambo and of course to get you to learn a sexier Cha Cha Cha.
