I feel as though this is my chance to tell the world how I really feel about Group Groove (as if people don't already know, right?). It is the most exhilirating, incredible, FUN hour of your life. Okay, well maybe just your day, but I'd like to think some people out there are as fanatic about it as I am. A lot of people feel like they can't do it, or don't want to do it because "I don't dance!", but it's not really a DANCE-dance class. Just a dance-inspired fitness class. Huge difference. If you don't believe me, I challenge you to come to a class and try it for yourself. Sure we Cha-Cha, Mambo, Charleston and Grapevine - but in such a different way than you might think. It's a chance to feel good about yourself, to feel a little wild and maybe even sexy without having to hold your hairbrush and do it in front of your mirror at home. I wish more people knew about this phenomenon. The world is addicted to Zumba, and I think if more people knew about this sensation, they'd be just as hooked.
I've recently had 2 new ladies in class that have both taken Zumba regularly, and they both keep commenting on how amazing the Groove class is in comparison. I'm not here to hate on Zumba, I just want people to realize that there's another amazing class out there that lets you be free and wild while still burning the calories. It gets your heart rate up, puts a smile on your face, and when you're done you're thinking, that's it? It's over? Come try it at the Bangor Y or tell someone you know about it.
See this lady in the picture at the top? She's 75 and still comes. Sure, you don't need to wear your leotards or tights - but it just shows you that anyone can do it.
There. I feel much better now that I've gotten all this out!
