Shake that ass.....

[Syd Valentine]

So, today I tried something new. I took a dance/aerobics class called Zumba. You may have heard of it.... apparently it's all the rage.

Conclusion:

I had NO idea my ass could move in so many different directions! Turns out that Zumba is dancing or moving, if you will, to EXTREMELY fast paced music. The instructor (looking thin and muscular and spry) leads you through these salsa/mambo/hip-hop/I-don't-know-what-else type of moves incorporating hand weights for some of the time. I was sweating profusely, getting a great work out and wishing that the gigantic mirror wall in front of me was non-existent. It was hard to refrain from laughing as I watched myself jiggling and bouncing and thrusting all over the place. I am not the most coordinated of human beings and all of the moves required that your feet go this way, your arms another and your torso in yet a different direction.... all at the same time. Once or twice , I thought to myself "Hey, yah. That's it.... There you go.... looking good, sexy," but these thoughts were quickly followed by flushed cheeks and multiple guffaws as I watched my butt flopping around, my two left feet tripping over each other and appearing EXTREMELY awkward and/or ridiculous! (The instructor's ass, I might add, looked nothing like mine did during all of this... and I bet it's not screaming for mercy like mine is right now, either.)

HOWEVER, I did have a good time and being able to laugh at myself was a good thing. I recommend that everyone try ZUMBA at least once in their life if for no other reason than to discover the unique capabilities of their own buttocks.

Dance, when you’re broken open.
Dance, if you’ve torn the bandage off.
Dance, in the middle of the fighting.
Dance, in your blood.
Dance, when you’re perfectly free.
