In Search of the Dance
My journey to find an exercise class started in Nov. of 2006. The cold dreary winter days were increasing and I was looking for an activity to lift my spirits. I saw an infomercial for an exercise class called “Zumba”. I searched the local web links in Colorado Springs and found a class that had a contact named Dorie Wexler. Little did I know the phone call I would receive that week would change me life in such a positive way. Dorie explained what the benefits were with dance for burning calories, toning muscles and increasing your flexibility.
I attended class that Saturday and my journey began to find my inner Diva. Dorie and her loving husband Mark greeted everyone in the class like they are family and Shaina lights up my heart every time I see her beautiful smile. Their warm and encouraging manner gave me confidence to continue exercising and the women I have met in the class are such a wonderful mix of ages and energy levels.
My testimonial for attending Zumba is how I feel emotionally. My body starts to move once the music starts and I have a smile on my face for the entire hour. The benefits that many will just be thrilled with are the inches and pounds they lose but mine is how I feel about my spirit. I am in my mid fifties and Dorie, Mark, and Shaina have inspired me to dance and my feet have followed.
