Zumba at Bentley Dance Fit returns to in-real-life classes starting this Wednesday March 30th! I'm hoping to continue supporting live stream classes via Zoom.

Gotta say, we have a lot of fun dancing with you all 😍. No Zumba next week, March 23rd, BUT it looks like we're going to make a home in Los Duranes Community Center! They have a dance room with a mirrored wall, high ceilings, and AC. They're working on my application for the space and all looks good so far. The proposed time would be the same - Wednesday 5:45pm. More to come....🥰

Hi everyone! I have some bad news. YouTube as of class #15 is suddenly blocking almost all our songs. In the past songs were fingerprinted, and then allowed as part of a program to compensate copyright holders. I'm not sure why this has changed so drastically across many different songs and copyright holders. So, we can't stream on YouTube. Most other platforms including Facebook will block straight away. YouTube was a unique solution. Zoom technically does not allow content that includes copyright material, but they don't enforce this in real-time. That said, there are other limitations. So, for now, we're offline. We'll be adapting, so we'll keep you updated.

I hope everyone has had a great, and safe, 4th of July weekend! Our weekend was an adventure. We had fun experimenting with recording Zumba for you all in the mountains at 10,000 feet where it's nice and cool. Monday is our first Mountain Zumba special edition! We hope you'll be able to join us!

Thank you all for attending our first virtual class!! Let me now if there were any glitches :) The vocals mic should be improved next time (I forgot to record on one of the channels that was the primary mic channel - ended up using the gopro backup mic, which wasn't so good). Thanks again and give me a shout-out if this works for you! HUGE thanks to Stephanie for teaching and QiaoQiao for handing the video!

Hey, I hope everyone is doing well in these difficult times. I miss you all! Please stay safe, was your hands, limit your exposure to other people. COVID-19 is dangerous.

Stephanie and I tested out a mobile off-grid setup with the full sound-system at Highland High football field. I was hoping to be able to live stream to Facebook but even though I pay ASCAP for music licensing (in addition to buying all our tracks), it's insufficient to cover even limited live streaming on a platform such as Facebook or YouTube.

The good news is, when it's possible, we'll be able to have classes outside, off-grid, with the full sound system. I'm excited for that possibility. In the meantime I am looking at what live options might be possible.

I miss you all! Stay safe!

I hope you've had a beautiful weekend. Reminder there's no class on Monday Feb 17th for Pres Day. See you Wednesday! 🙏

I'm thrilled to have had the opportunity to dance with the Lobo Women's Volleyball team! These ladies and their coaches were fantastic and gave it their all, even after training for three hours earlier in the day. Amazing athletes! Go Lobos!

QiaoQiao and I completed a 4 month Rise of the Phoenix journey with eVOLV Strong this weekend at Sandia Casino. It was an amazing experience and I'm humbled by all the incredible people I met on this program. I'm so very thankful to you, my Zumba family, for giving me the confidence to take this on by dancing with me every week, and for your support from the audience. Thanks to all the amazing people at eVOLV including CJ, Esteban, Christine, and the many others that coached us and made this happen. I'll see you Zumba peeps on Wednesday! A HUGE thanks for Matt Foster Studio for photographing the event and the contestants (photos forthcoming).
