...We. Make. Faces. In the spirit of owning the silly faces made by Zumba instructors everywhere, here are a few of my favorites:
The Giant Smile: Sometimes I smile. I mean, SMILE. It's usually when I'm feeling really tired and am trying to convince both myself and the class that we all feel great.
Duck Lips: I have never, ever taken a selfie using "duck lips," but I do sometimes slip up and flash this face during certain moves, like body rolls and destrozas. I can't really explain it.
The Oops: Yes, I know that participants will barely notice if you make a mistake and keep going. But, my face doesn't lie - I almost always make a crazy oops face when I miss a step. Usually it makes a few people laugh and we keep movin'.
Pointing with your Eyes: It may be the most subtle version of cuing ever, but I do think it helps to point your eyes in the direction you're going next. Even if only one person notices, it feels worth it!
Pointing with your Lips: This may seem like a variation of duck lips, but don't be fooled - I'm telling you which way I'm heading! I'm certain this isn't helpful like pointing with your eyes, but it's more of an involuntary movement at this point.
I hope you can relate to these faces... and if not, I hope you'll tell me I'm alone in my face-making! Be honest with me, people. :)
Done all of thèse and many more. Love the post.
