Reflection on my first ZINCON: I was fortunate to have a wonderful mentor in Helena, who accompanied and supported me from the very first moment. She showed me everything, and whenever I had a question, she answered with great patience. Without you, the ZINCON wouldn't have been as incredible. I experienced so much, met many new people, and learned a lot. Not only new dance styles and choreographies, but also a lot about myself—where my limits are and how I can respect and set them at a big event. I had challenging moments, felt homesick, and was sometimes overwhelmed. Yet, there were always people who caught me and gave me strength. We all share the same passion—Zumba. I look back on a great time and am looking forward to the next ZINCON!
