A quick little story…last September, I wanted to add some cardio to my regular weight training regime.  Not really looking to lose any more weight cause I thought I was pretty satisfied with the 50 that I lost the two years prior.  Well, I saw a little weight coming off, so I decided to try [...]

In modern times, “Pied Piper” has come to mean any charismatic person who attracts an enthusiastic following.  We have found the Pied Piper of Zumba in Schnecksville.  We are a group of women who needed a leader with magical talents to lead us out of our homes and on to the dance floor. ‘We’re following [...]

I have always been a believer that people walk into your life for a reason. Because of this, I am grateful to have met our Zumba Instructor, Kelly Powell. Prior to taking her classes, I found myself doing things that I always said I never would. Almost two years ago, I lost my mother suddenly [...]

I was looking for a way to tone myself up after finally hitting my goal weight…AGAIN. My adult nieces mentioned to me that they were taking Zumba classes in Schnecksville, and that they loved them.  They said, ”Aunt Deb, there’s dancing, and great music, you’d really love it”.  So, I gave it a try – [...]

An acquaintance recommended this “new form of exercise” called ZUMBA. Someone [...]
