The Final Day

P1050243I was so happy with everyone in today’s ZUMBA lesson at Latinmania Dance School.

Actually it was my last lesson there. Lots of people joined it even though today was the middle day of a 3 day holiday. Thank you so much, everyone.

One year and five months ago, I started my ZUMBA lessons here for 5 of my friends who were my ex-classmates at TAFE, English course for migrants. I almost lost myself because of my homesick feeling and weariness from my lack of English then.

Thanks to my friends’ support, I have continued my lessons. Firstly most of the members were Japanese, but now people of different nationalities are joining my lessons.

I realized people will be able to cross the border with a little courage. It’s not so difficult.

If I change myself, the environment surrounding me will also change. It’s up to myself.

I am going to start some new lessons at a different place from next month.

I hope I will be able to meet more new people there.

I always feel happy with sharing fun through the same hobby at the same time and place with everyone regardless of age, sex or nationality. I think it’s a true international exchange.

 

Actually I have another thing with which I can share fun with my friends.

 

It’s Salsa group lessons. It started from last Wednesday at Latinmania Dance School. The instructor is Alex, the producer of Latinamania.

I want to recommend all people who can’t join his night time lessons to join it.

 

 

I promise your ZUMBA movements will change to fabulous things if you learn real Salsa.

It’s been nearly 3 years since I started learning Salsa from Alex.

I could get confidence with my ZUMBA movements thanks to his lessons.

Come and get endorphined!

I think endorphins were secreted into my brain during my ZUMBA lessons today. It is said that they are produced when people feel happy and exercise for a long term like jogging etc.

P1050113I changed my standing position for instruction from the usual spot to a small stage in Latinmania because so many people came today.

It was successful. I could see everyone’s faces and all members could see my foot work as well.

P1050111They were getting into it with ‘ Hoo Hoo!! ‘ voices, which motivated me a lot. Thanks, everyone!!

P1050109It’s been one year and four months since I started my ZUMBA lessons on the Gold Coast, Australia. Firstly I ran only one lesson every Saturday morning for my 5 friends who used to be my ex-classmates at TAFE, English Course for migrants. They encouraged me a lot.

Honestly speaking, I was almost losing myself because of my homesick feeling (I immigrated to Australia 3 years ago).

I had thought my poor English caused everything bad and negative emotions had dogged me all the time until I started my ZUMBA lessons again in Australia.

Thanks to my family, friends, and Alex the producer of Latinmania Dance School, I’m running several ZUMBA lessons a week now.

I really appreciate everyone surrounding me.

Even though English is a bit of a struggle, I’m so happy.

P1050112I really love ZUMBA, as it makes people happy regardless of nationality and language.

Why don’t you come and join us?
