The Zumba Instructor Training List


For this day which was going the first day of our lives as a Zumba instructor, we had to bring:
-a bottle of water, two in fact;
-a towel;
-a good night of sleep: 8 hours of zumba in a row is not for the hangovered or fainthearted, it's serious stuff;
-change of clothes..as truly the first outfit was soaked by 10.30 and it was snowing outside;
-our hips : no surviving zumba without them;
-a pen and paper...still so many where like "oooh I don't have a pen...how did you know? The list d.., you should read my blog.""
-any paraphernalia dance and fitness teachers have come up with since Jane Fonda;
-our credit card : it's a business after all and a damned well rounded one,
-the right pair of shoes : the ones you can turn, twist, swing not your regular running shoes only meant to move forward....which is life should be actually not only move forward but stray on side and even face back when rythm makes you.

Crazy in Love


Buri's Atelier. Amsterdam 2003.
Since my non husband was not doing nude life modelling for a living at that time, the only explanation for this work is the title.
No excuse and no solution on the other hand for the flashlight but it gives a harry pottery feeling I quite like.
