New Year at the Senior Center

Our next class is on January 7th!

The center will begin charging for our class:  for members, it's either $10 or $15 per month, depending on whether you are only going on Thursdays ($10 per mo) only on Saturdays ($10 per mo) or if you may come to either or both ($15 per mo).  For non-members, it's $15 - $30 per month.

Hope everyone has safe and happy holidays and I look forward to our next dance!

Merry Christmas 2009

Senior Center Holiday Schedule

The center gave me their holiday schedule, so I'm passing it on to you.

There will be NO CLASSES on:

Thursday, November 26 (Thanksgiving)
Saturday, November 28
Thursday, December 24
Saturday, December 26
Thursday, December 31
Saturday, January 2, 2010

Don't forget to mark your calendars!

Hip Scarves!

I will be ordering hip scarves next week, so I'm taking names and pre-payments of $10 tonight and Saturday (or you can let me know via email). I order them in bulk and so colors cannot be guaranteed, sorry.

You can order them individually from ebay and get a specific color yourself, though. It only costs a couple dollars more, so if color is important, that's the way to go.

Let's get those hips SWINGIN' AND SINGIN', Ya'll!

Hope to see you tonight (be careful of Festival of Lights traffic)!

Lyrics to Bamboo Hips Don't Lie

I've always wondered what Shakira was saying:

BamboooOOOooo
Tembaleuoluwaaluweee
Anubaleee le balooo
Levanlevaaandaa laoooo

BamboooOOOooo
Tembaleuoluwaaluweee
Anubaleee le balooo
Levanlevaaandaa laoooo

Perfection, Perfection

I never really knew that she could dance like this
She makes a man want to speak Spanish
Como se llama (SI) bonita (SI)
Mi casa (SHAKIRA SHAKIRA) su casa

Oh baby when you talk like that
You make a woman go mad
So be wise and keep on
Reading the signs of my body

And I'm on tonight
You know my hips don't lie
And I'm starting to feel it's right

Ay ay ay to the bamboooo
La gloria te esta esperando

Latino! Africano! Asiatico! Americano!
Tu Dios te esta mirando!

BamboooOOOooo
Tembaleuoluwaaluweee
Anubaleee le balooo
Levanlevaaandaa laoooo

No Fighting tonight!

I never really knew that she could dance like this
She makes a man want to speak Spanish
Como se llama (SI) bonita (SI)
Mi casa (SHAKIRA SHAKIRA) su casa

Oh baby when you talk like that
You make a woman go mad
So be wise and keep on
Reading the signs of my body

And I'm on tonight
You know my hips don't lie
And I'm starting to feel you boy

Ay ay ay to the bamboooo
La gloria te esta esperando

I know I'm on tonight
So my hips don't lie
And I'm starting to feel it's right

Come on let's go, let's go
Tu Dios te esta mirando!

Baila en la calle de noche...
Baila en la calle de dia...
Baila en la calle de noche...
Juega en la calle de dia...

People in the front, DON'T FIGHT TONIGHT!
People in the side, DON'T FIGHT TONIGHT!
People in the back, DON'T FIGHT TONIGHT!
Don't fight tonight!
Don't fight tonight!

Let's go...
I'm a student of Pele, call me Pele player.
Eleven on the field with the heart of a gladiator

One GOAL
Two GOAL
Three GOAL
GOAL!

Imma play till my knees grow low

One GOAL
Two GOAL
Three GOAL
GOAL!

Everybody in the FIFA in the final state go
And my football jersey says Maradonna
And the crowd chants, sounds like spirits from Africa

BamboooOOOooo
Tembaleuoluwaaluweee
Anubaleee le balooo
Levanlevaaandaa laoooo

BamboooOOOooo
Tembaleuoluwaaluweee
Anubaleee le balooo
Levanlevaaandaa laoooo

THURSDAYS and Saturdays

Looks like I'll be switching positions with Sylvie Savineau at Lowcountry Senior Center.  I will be the primary instructor and Sylvie will be my alternate.  It is such a blessing to work there and to be associated with such lovely women, especially Sylvie, the French Connection.

So it's official, Thursdays from 5:45-6:45 PM and Saturdays from 9:00-10:00 AM, I'll be bringing Zumba la Prisca to the shining stars at the center!
Register now, or bring $15 as a walk-in.

(This blog has been corrected.  I had erroneously published Tuesday instead of Thursday.  Guess I was subliminally thinking of my other class at St. Andrews on Tuesday night ... which is changing times).  If you're ever at St Andrews on a Tuesday ... come at 4:30 PM!

Headed for a 2nd Certification!

I will not be teaching on November 21st as I will be going for Zumba Gold certification.  Sylvie Savineau will be teaching the class at the Lowcountry Senior Center.  She's "the French Connection" and a dear Zumba-sister!

Happy Halloween!

What a wonderful class we had at the Lowcountry Senior Center on Halloween!

I shared some not-so-ghoulish treats of granola bars as well as a preview of the costume made for me by my own in-house stylists/fairy goddaughters.

Of course, I was the dreaded Swine Flu.
The ears were by my six year old and the remainder of the costume by the 11 year old.  How blessed am I?

We do have fun!
