I always tell my students attitude can cover a multitude of mistakes. If you just take on the character of the dance, it will look a million times better.
Here's a great example.
Check out the attitude and character of this 2 year old who picked up his swagger by watching his parents' ballroom dance class (jive). I love his facial expression, poses and overall confidence! The audience eats it up and you barely notice that he never does a "dance" step. Enjoy! and remember to give your dancing some attitude, character... swagger ; )
Contact me to get your swagger on!

Zumba Dance Benefit for ALS!
This event came to my attention and I felt compelled for personal reasons to help get the word out. ALS is a fatal disease that paralizes the voluntary muscles of the body over a period of years. A person suffering with ALS (also called Lou Gerhig's disease) is fully aware of the deterioration of function in their limbs, throat, torso and eventually their lungs because the disease does NOT harm their brains. This cruel disease has no cure and limited therapy that does little more than prolong life by a few months.
Just 2 weeks ago I learned a close family member was diagnosed with ALS; therefore, I must help promote this cause. Come to Flagstaff if you can. I know many of you work on Friday's. If you can't come, please spread the word. A full house would be nice : ) If you love Zumba or haven't tried it yet, this might be your chance to do it and also contribute to ALS research. https://www.facebook.com/
Thank you for your time and attention <3
