One new song for Zumba this week!

For Zumba this week...we're flying by the seat of our pants...Nina and I have been battling allergy-sinus infections and I'm not feeling so hot today. But I did add a new non-latin song to my repertoire, Jesse McCartney's "How Do You Sleep?" Such a cute song...and he is a great performer - originally from the Disney Channel. No worries, I choregraphed some Salsa in there so it still has that Latin feel :-)

Good news, I officially have my Saturday mornings back after 18 months of teaching Zumba. My last class at Dance Expressions was last week and I'm not sure if I'm going to return in the Fall because of school. I will actually have a day to do laundry again - but more importantly, to SLEEP IN!!!! Yeah, baby!!

So...have a great week, enjoy the beautiful weather (we're going for a record at 3 days straight full of sunshine) and have fun in class. Thanks for sacrificing your Tuesdays and Thursdays to dance with me. You all ROCK!

Dancing Forever,
Myra :-)

SB Layouts This Week!

With these 2 layouts, I challenged myself not to use an cardstock...boy that was hard. I feel like I'm morphing into more complicating (and busy) scrappping. I'm enjoying my break from school so I'm putting more effort into my pages...I can't wait until the kids are out of school!

Playlist for 5/12 & 5/14

Happy End of Semester for me...I've got 2 weeks off and then, I get busy again for 8 weeks. Oye.

Meanwhile, I am working on creating a new routine - with songs from the latest Zumba release (ZIN 20) and some top latin songs from iTunes. With Mother's Day this past weekend, I didn't get anything accomplished but one song and I'm debuting it tonight! You guys will love the funky Reggaeton feel to it! And then it'll be off to CD #10, from January of this year.

Same Playlist as last week!

Hola Zumba Troupe!

It's an exam week for me so I thought I'd do the same program we did last week (missed a few of you!) and add on another new song from the Zumba 2008 DVD's, Baila Menea y Goza - it's Queubradita. I'm sure you'll have fun with it...if I remember all the choreography!! (I had a very off week last week...must be because the kids were on Spring Break).

Zumba 4/7 and 4/ 9

Happy Spring Break?

Well okay, so it's a little chilly outside...and snowing...and our kids can't play outside...at least we can dance a little bit of our cares away this week :-) It's an odd thing that my break doesn't coincide with my kids! So, my main worry this week is figuring out how to get ALL my homework done.
If you're traveling for break, I'll really miss you; with Zumba, it's always the more, merrier!

I lost some music on my computer so I've spent most of the afternoon trying to fix things and neglected selecting the playlist. We have one new song today from the Zumba Cardio Party DVD (from the new set) and it's a salsa/reggaeton song, Zumbandando Por Un Sueno. Too bad I don't understand Spanish :-)
