What kind of pose is this?

Once upon a time in 2009, I went to my first Zumba class. I loved it. It got me out of the house, I met some great people and built friendships that are still in tack. Matter of fact, my instructor give me a penny bank with some cash to help pay for my Zumba license to become an instructor. In 2012 I finally went to the training and began teaching at my local YMCA.

I love Zumba so much that I only teach ONE class, so I never get burned out.  Even when I chose to put the kids in school and begin working again, I wanted to keep Zumba sacred and not make it my part-time job.

I blew the dust off my dream of being a teacher and enrolled into grad school.

All my teacher friends who come to my class have encouraged me in my pursuit.  I go to them for wisdom, support and to vent about school.  It inspires me to see them in class.  They are my motivators.

When I’m up front shaking it, I look at them and think, they are who I want to be.
