Zumba Like Pumba

I have officially enrolled for my first ever Zumba class. I expect by the end to look like the girl from the commercials, except with no sweat of course. I was originally looking for beginner pole dancing classes, but they are bought in sets of like 8 and I’m not sure I would like it that much. So I have settled on a Zumba class, that I am hoping is filled with young people my age, who like to craft, aren’t married, don’t have kids, don’t like to go out and get drunk every weekend, and want to be friends….with me.

It was always easier before because I was in school or somewhere like work, but now I don’t really want to be friends with people at work, and I don’t have school (yet) and don’t really have any hobbies that lend themselves to meeting people. My ultimate idea is to have speed dating for friends. Like “fast friending”, same idea. I feel like it would be a good way to bring either new people, or people who want new friends, or shy people, or just people who like to meet people together. I would totally wear a nametag for that! “Hi my name is Corinne and I have no filter, oh and sometimes I can come off as bossy, but it’s just because I know what you should be doing”.

I am already starting to get nervous about the class next week, because I have to go by myself, do something new, and am alone. Those are like my biggest fears right now, which usually would be something that I would tell anyone else to jump on.

I’m not sure if I should prepare and watch youtube videos of how to Zumba, I’m not even sure what it involves. Do I have to wear bright colored African garbs? Or should I stick with all black goth? Or maybe I could get a tennis skirt, I have always wanted one of those. I hope they don’t video tape it, or I’m pretty sure I would end up looking like this:

Which is mainly the reason I only dance at nightclubs, while drunk…and while everyone else is drunk too.
