Thank you for coming to today’s ZUMBA lesson!!
I think my Monday’s Zumba class is gradually getting more multicultural, which makes me happy 🙂

Yesterday was the first anniversary of my first ZUMBA lesson on the Gold Coast in Australia.

It takes me back to that time.

Honestly speaking, I hadn’t thought I could keep doing my lessons.

At first, I started slowly.

I advertised at TAFE where I was studying English and in a local Japanese newspaper.

I want to thank my Japanese friends who helped me ( through homesickness) to gain enough courage to use English in front of a group of native English speakers.

Now I have 5 ZUMBA lessons, 1 ZUMBA Step lesson, 1 Step lesson and 2 Hip Hop lessons a week!!

It’s all thanks to the people who have been supporting me.

I really love ZUMBA, as it makes people happy regardless of nationality and language.

One lady always gives me a chocolate every lesson.

Thank you, Colleen!!

My son is so happy today 🙂

The symptoms of Autism are different depending on patients.
