So this weekend I tried Zumba for the very first time. "What's Zumba?" anyone under the age of 40 and/or not living in LA might ask. Good question. I'm not entirely sure myself, but it is a whole bunch of fast dances all mixed together to get you to sweat your soul out of your body while also being able to make you look completely ridiculous. Bonus! It is pretty fun, once you get over the fact that the moves can only be mastered by professionals. My friend and I got there a few minutes late and tried to hang out in the back, but the over-60 crowd dominated that area, too afraid to move up, so we made our way to the middle and literally, I mean literally, started shaking our asses. I don't know if the instructor had explained the warm up to everyone, but she gave no warning as she moved from exercise to exercise. I felt like Liz Lemon in a season 1 episode where Jenna drags her to a exercise class where everyone knows what they're doing except for her. Memory not as good as mine? Well, I'll show you. I searched high and low for it, and I couldn't get it alone, but it's in this here video. Enjoy. I'm at work, so I didn't watch it with sound, I hope there's not some weird song playing over it.
LOVE. IT. That was me at the beginning of class. Later on she explained the moves, and most weren't too hard to follow, but I definitely danced like a drunk white man at a wedding. Thankfully, everyone around me was flailing as well.
Will I go again? Definitely. Will other people laugh at me? Probably. But I'm used to that. Just another routine day for Angela...I need to go.
