Zumba Love!!

2011-11-04T18:16:00.000-07:00

Hey there Zumba gals and guys! I am busy with school, but very excited to slow that down and focus on Zumba again... So right now I teach Zumba at 6am on Tuesdays at Park Center Axiom. I also teach at Bodies in Motion on Mondays and Wednesdays at 5pm. I love these classes and they are growing bigger each day. Its so much fun and it is still keeping me in great shape. I am sure I will be adding more classes in January. So, I have been geting a lot of questions regarding seasonal depression and how to cope with feeling down as winter aproaches... EXERCISE is key!! I also have been drinking green smoothies (http://www.greensmoothiegirl.com/) and that helps, but the greatest thing I have been doing is essential oils from doterra (http://www.mydoterra.com/darin/) these oils are amazingly powerful and have great results!!! Let me know if you have any questions!! Best of luck!!Zumba Love, Kim

I forgot to mention...

2011-07-28T13:09:00.000-07:00

I will be subbing Hillary's Zumba class at Golds Meridian this Friday at 5:30pm. If you are a golds member, come and have fun!! If you arent a golds member, the drop in fee is 10 dollars for 24 hours.. :)

This Friday...there is a party at cowgirls for Zumba lovers, it benefits the womens and childrens alliance ..the theme is "Glowing" so wear white and neon and give your 20 dollars to the doorman and then you can Zumba for hours on end. Its from 6pm-9pm and then there will be dancing like always...

Thursdays are sizzlin!

2011-07-28T12:56:00.000-07:00

On thursdays I get to teach at the Karate Studio in Eagle, its in the same parking lot where the old KINGS used to be. At 9:15am we start class and it is a blast!! The best part about this is that for the rest of the summer, it is only 12 dollars.. total, thats it. You can take thai-robics class and zumba as much as you want.. :) thats such a good deal..

Then at 5:15pm its off to Caldwell for some hip shakin fun at the Caldwell YMCA, my home gym... These gals have known me since the beginning.. we have come a long way since I first certified in 2008. The friendships that have grown here are amazing!

Pick a class and I will see you soon!!

Two to choose from on Wednesdays..

2011-07-27T14:53:00.000-07:00

Wednesdays are quickly becoming my very favorite day of the week. I teach a 5pm class at Bodies in Motion that is sooo much fun and then get to teach at Golds Meridian at 7:30pm. Two great gyms and some very sweaty, fun classes!! Yay for Wednesdays!!!

Class schedule and new classes in EAGLE!!

2011-07-26T09:43:00.000-07:00

Yes Folks, thats right I said EAGLE.. There is a great studio by where KINGS used to be, and Old Chicago still is...On old State street. It has a big sign that reads, KARATE right above the door.. On Tuesdays and Thursdays at 9am we are having ZUMBA classes in this studio and it is so much fun! Dont miss it... If you have never tried Zumba, now is your chance because they are offering unlimited classes until August 31st for only 12 Dollars!!! (This also includes Thairobics classes) That's as close to free as it gets! So come try it and you will love it! Let me know if another time would work better if this time doesnt work for you and we will see what we can do..

Also, If you are from the Downtown area, Bodies in Motion (Off federal way by fred meyers) is a place where you can catch me in Zumba action as well. I teach there on Monday nights and Wedsday nights at 5pm. There is a huge play structure for your kids to play on and a great little smoothie/flatbread cafe right in the studio.. yumm!! This place is amazing!!

Wednesdays I can be seen at Golds in Meridian for the summer. The class is at 7:30pm. So if you are a member there, Come see me and we can shake it like we mean it!! (This is Sandi Rubios class, but I am shaking the Zumba love for the next few weeks.)

Thursdays I am at the YMCA in Caldwell!! Whoo hoo! This class is upstairs in the yoga studio, so come!! It is usually packed tight, so come around 5:15 to claim the spot you want.. class starts at 5:16pm.. :) Some serious shakers in this class for sure!

ALSO on Tuesday Evenings at the Nampa Rec Center at 4:30 I teach a class called FIT2DANCE. It is for kids from 1st-5th grade. I cannot tell you how amazing this class is.. I almost tear up at the love I feel for these cute kids. They shake it better than me!! I am always so happy to be there and help them build a love for dance.

So, here are your choices... Pick one or five and come do a Zumba class with me!!!

Zumba Valentines...

2009-01-26T07:08:00.000-08:00

I just thought I would invite you all to salsa dance on Valentines day!!!!! The knitting Factory opens it's doors and I have free tickets. So, come and get them!!!

So fun!!

2009-01-22T14:52:00.000-08:00

Ok all classes in February will be in the main gym...downstairs. Yeah!!! Lots of room. The only thing is the times will change for Tuesday and Thursday. Instead of 9am it will be 10:30am. I am so excited about the change. It will be able to touch more lives in this big space. Hoorah!!

Ok also, Friday at noon we are having a class for recording. The reason we are recording is to make dvd's available to practice at home.... also we can post some really tricky ones on you tube.. If you want to come, but don't want to be on YouTube that is fine.. Just come and have a party with me!!

You are all amazing and wonderful and I am so blessed to have each of you in class. Keep the fun going always!! Come to the Zumba Class!! Keep Moving and shaking!

Saturday is upstairs..

2009-01-07T12:42:00.000-08:00

Ok I know that I said we were going to have class Downstairs on Saturday...But this Saturday is Group Power training. We will have class upstairs. It will be fun and I will actually have another new song that you will love!!~

Merry Christmas!!

Merry Christmas!

Love, Kim

Sixteen on a Saturday!!!

2008-12-22T09:24:00.000-08:00

Saturday is quickly becoming one of my favorite days to teach. I never know who is going to show up. We have the full hour to get our groove on and we have a blast!! Thank you to everyone who wakes up and gets to class on saturday!! YOU ROCK!!
We may have to move the class downstairs if we get too big.

There are nine new songs I am going to start adding. They are way fun!! So, get your dance pants on and come to class!! I am so excited for the new moves to begin.... See you soon!

Changes...

2008-12-04T20:21:00.000-08:00

So, in January classes change a little bit. The Monday and Wednesday night classes will start at six sharp, and will be held downstairs in the main gym. The Tuesday and Thursday morning classes start at nine am sharp, but will stay in the yoga studio. Saturday class will stay the same with class at 8 am. If we can get enough people in class we will move it downstairs to the main gym as well.
Thanks for all your support and hard work!!! You all rock!!

I am not going to do the "low" song anymore. I know it is fun, but it makes me sick when I listen to what he is singing!! I hope that is alright with everyone else too.

Zumba baby!!

Saturday is awesome!

2008-11-29T09:42:00.000-08:00

I must say I am enjoying our Saturday Class so much!! We have a smaller class and it is easier to see what I am doing and the members do amazing(as well as the instructors that come). I really am having a lot of fun. I know it might be a challenge to get up, but it is worth it!!

A huge thanks to Juan from Columbia!!!

2008-11-25T07:04:00.000-08:00

Many of you know that I have an exchange student living in my house... He also has friends that are exchange students... One of these friends is from Columbia and he gave me 50 songs that he likes from Columbia. It will take me a little while to put some choreo to the songs, but I am going to slowly incorporate these songs into our class as well as the others I am working on. So, a BIG THANK YOU goes out to Juan from Columbia!!!!

Just so you know, there will be no casses starting Wednesday night!! Happy Thanks giving!! We will see you Saturday morning at 8 am. Get your dance feet ready!!

Saturday class success!!

2008-11-22T09:32:00.000-08:00

Today we had 5 people in class!! I know that doesn't sound like a lot, but last week we had none, so 5 is a great number!! Everyone was great, and was able to see, so that is always a plus.

I know that on the weekday classes, it may be getting a little hard to see, because of the amount of people in class. I apologize, and will try my hardest to move around a little in class so that even if you are in the back you can see. Come early and stand by me --if you need a little more cardio. It is easier to follow if you are close.

I will have another workshop when I feel the need, but right now everyone is doing so well. Please let me know if you have questions or comments or anything that may help improve the quality of classes.

Here is a new song and choreography I would like to try this week..we will see, but practice at home if you can so you will be prepared. Zumba BABY!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O20VZinNwY0 I think this video is alright, but the choreography on the next one is the best!!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFG1GPUX720 Caution..her singing grates!! Watch them both and I will mix them together.

Zumba success!!

2008-11-18T10:46:00.000-08:00

Everyone is doing so well in class!!! It makes my heart soar to see people having fun. Not to mention getting fit in the process. If it was your first time in class and you don't feel like you are doing well ---don't be discouraged!! It takes a little bit of time to be able to follow a non verbal instructor, but there is a reason for my silence...fun is the reason. It wouldn't be as much fun with me yelling at you all the time. So, buck up and face the challenge!! Bring your friends and have a big party together... at Zumba!!

Just so you are aware..I have Salsa Dancing tickets for free!! This Friday at the Knitting Factory!! Come and pick some tickets up at class or see Giovanni for some. Get a group of dancers together and go party with your new Zumba moves!!!

Is Saturday a bad day??

2008-11-15T09:40:00.001-08:00

Not one person showed up this morning so I did a little choreography for you.There will be a couple of new songs in our class. I am so excited!! So, get ready.

here are some links for practicing....

A new warm up...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PppyAgKMGaU

A new crazy song!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tm7DyRjtWRc&feature=related

Saturday Class!!

2008-11-14T06:28:00.000-08:00

The Saturday Class is at 8am. I know it is early, but it will get you started on the happy foot!! All the other gyms are full at 9 (which is the time I prefer) with step, cycle and Yoga. So, Come to Zumba, and if you are not too tired and worked, go to another class as well. I am so excited to do Zumba and I am having such a positive experience with all of the people who are taking it, trying it, learning it and having a fun time. Thanks for all the support and encouragement!! I'll see you on Saturday at 8am!!!

My Instructor Erick

2008-11-12T09:50:00.000-08:00

Ok So if you are wondering why I get so fired up aboput Zumba......

This was my instructor..For real..
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pTE9vSe5CXQ&feature=related

He is an amazing dancer! It was a pricless opportunity for me to see a guy bust it out like that.
I have never sweat so much in my life....

Practice links... Are good!!

2008-11-12T09:29:00.000-08:00

OK.. So unless I make the video's really short I will not be able to post them here so I have decided to give you some links from You tube. They are very similar, but not exactly the same as what we do in class. Just practice with the guy here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rrudcFMb5I8 and modify it a little so you are doing a hip shake when he does a shoulder shrug. Leave out the cross step at the end too..and you should be fine.

Have fun!! XOXOX

The Video practice pages #1

2008-11-11T14:21:00.000-08:00

Ok nevermind.. My files are too big to download on this blog. I am going to have to find another solution here. Here is a link to the warmup song at youtube.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vf0q6qtThF4

I will try to find more links with the choreography that I use so you can practice.

Monday Night!!
