Zumba is NOT my thing

Last night I hopped on the elliptical, but a Zumba class was starting and I decided it would be way more fun. This was my third class. I pretty much made up my mind it is NOT for me. Here are the five reasons why Zumba and Bunchy are not a good mix.

5.The word Tequila was said repeatedly during one of the songs. All I could think of was whoever invented this gyrating movement had to have been drinking some Tequila at the time cuz my body can't move like that.
4. Standing in the front right behind the instructor so I can try to mimic her every move is great except all of the people behind you can then see the ludicrous mistakes you make.
3. Zumba uses moves from Latin dancing such as: Salsa, Merengue, Mambo, and Salsa. These dances look GREAT when professional dancers are doing them. They are so romantic when a man and woman are moving in sync together as one. Some might think it's comical when they try to do these dances. I don't think there is a lot of comedy in me trying to do the dances...it might make someone want to hurl more likely.
2. Moving my hips in a circular motion takes a lot of concentration and then when you are moving your arms in a different direction...well it probably appears I'm having some sort of a seizure. It's totally like rubbing your stomach and patting your head at the same time.
1.This white girl ain't got no rhythm...it's a struggle the whole time. If you go back in my family history you will find no Latin heritage...maybe some Native Americans...maybe I should try doing a rain dance or something??? Zumba is NOT in my genes.

It will be a very long time before I try this again if ever.
