"Everything you want is on the other side of fear." 

I certainly was terrified of my first class. I practiced for hours, stressing over every little move, how it looked, how easy it would be to follow, and coming up with backup moves in case I forgot my planned choreography. It paid off in the end, though I did make a few mistakes. It was from my mistakes that I relearned why Zumba classes are perfect for me. Everyone is enjoying themselves so much that they just laugh with you when you mess up a move. Silliness is welcome. Awkwardness is expected (we can't all shake it like a Polaroid picture). Zumba classes are no place for judgement, only fun, laughter, and love. 

After teaching my second class, and again missing a few moves, I feel much more at ease and welcomed. People from my first class returned for seconds and hopefully they'll return next week too. I know many are planning too, and this makes me feel a special kind of happy. This makes me feel instant success.

I'm looking forward to expanding my abilities in Zumba and in other areas of fitness. I'm already grateful for the confidence I'm sure to gain from my experience through Zumba. 

Today is a wonderful day, and those to follow may only be more beautiful.
