Have you ever gone to the gym and wanted to be able to have fun not working on the machines? There is a fun class that everyone can do which is Zumba!

Zumba is a form of exercise where you do not have to have any dance experience to do it. It is a big dance party where you can invite your friends and have a good time. There are many different types of classes that you can take with it. You can find Zumba at a gym or at any location. The class varies in times in the morning afternoon or evening which is convenient for everyone to be at. In the Zumba class there are various types of dance that are incorporated with it such as jazz, hip hop, salsa and many others. At gyms they are part of the combination when you get the membership. It is not expensive and it varies on the instructor too.

I go to Zumba all the time because it is fun and great stress reliever as well. When I first did Zumba I did not know what to expect but now I do. Sometimes Zumba instructors use the same routine and music every week and add a song. I enjoy the music that the different instructors use that I go to. When you are at Zumba, make sure to take water breaks when needed. Just have fun with it and if you mess up on the moves don't worry about it. All different instructors use different music and different movements. Some of the movements are the same but if you go every week you will know the routines inside and out. Most places you can drop in and try it out to see if Zumba is right for you.

Zumba is not for everyone but if you like it stick to it. I am a dancer and the moves come to me easy which really cool. The first time I went to Zumba I did not know the moves but it came to me the following week I went. I try to do Zumba at least once a week so that I can keep it up. If you love Zumba so much you can get certified by going on the website and signing up for the location that is closer to you. This summer I am getting certified as a Zumba instructor next month and I am excited. I have heard that it's so much fun but I will be sore after the long day of training but it's worth it. I already have been asked to sub a class when needed when I am certified. Once I am certified I will know what to expect and go from there. When I am certified it is always great to go to other instructors classes to support them too. It is always nice to have friends like that and to show them maybe some of your moves. I am so glad that I have the opportunity to do this because I love doing it so much. Zumba will be my side job too which is a nice thing to have.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
