Zumba!

Last year I tried a couple of sessions of Zumba, so this year I've decided to continue and hopefully be more committed to attending Zumba every Monday afterschool in the dance studio. Normally, I'd be über conscientious about my nonexistent dancing skills, but I feel that Zumba will give me the chance to start breaking the tough shell I like to hide inside, especially when it comes to social interactions.

I hope Zumba will allow me to build my self-confidence, while at the same time having fun and getting a workout. Usually, it's really hard to get me interested in physical exercise or dancing, so I was surprised to find a combination of the two would be so entertaining and fulfilling at the same time. A few of my friends have also joined, so that also gave me a small push into joining Zumba so I wouldn't be isolated and as apprehensive about joining a club full of strangers. Because Zumba continuously pushes me outside of my comfort zone, I find myself more open to trying new things without the fear of embarrassing myself or worrying about being judged.
