My search for the perfect exercise for a non-exercise-lover like me continues (give me a book and I’m happy, but alas, reading is not exercise).
I am basically of the belief that nothing is better than walking. ย Except that sometimes you just can't walk. ย And sometimes you want to do something besides walk.
I’ve tried belly dancing. ย It was okay, but my hips don’t move the way a belly dancers hips should move, and honestly, it wasn’t that great of a workout.
So the search continued.
There’s a cute dance studio nearby called Turning Pointe Dance Studio. ย It’s ย in the tiny little town of Bartonville, which if you blink as you drive by, you just might miss. ย But Bartonville has this dance studio, and this dance studio is developing a Zumba class. ย And Zumba, it turns out, is a much better workout than belly dancing!
She is Dallas info: Turning Pointe Dance Studio is located at 2650 Fm 407 E, Suite 110, Bartonville, TX 76226 & Phone: 940-241-2600 in Bartonville Town Center. ย ย Turning Pointe has a full selection of dance classes starting with Mommy & Me, tap, ballet, jazz, and hip hop. ย They also offer Yoga and Zumba exercise classes. ย The adult exercise classes start at $55 a month. ย Misa highly recommends speaking with Amy who owns the studio.
I โขve done it two weeks in a row (note: I am cringing as I type because I โขM SORE!).
The verdict?
I like Zumba.
Of course it also makes me feel as if I have no rhythm, and while the teacher sways and has a sexy swagger, I clomp and jerk and stomp. ย But I have sexy sway aspirations and Zumba may just get me there.
And I โขll be burning calories and having fun at the same time.

The other perk of Zumba at Turning Pointe is that it's a quaint and beautiful dance studio for girls… lots of pink and tutus and toe shoes. ย Makes me feel like a girl again… till the fancy chachacha and box steps begin, anyway, then I just feel like a two-left-footed 44 year old non-dancer.
Have you tried Zumba?What did you think?
