Teaching a Zumba™Fitness Class with Two Left Feet
Now you may think you know what I am about to say because of the title of this article if you are thinking of the old adage, "She has two left feet". However, I am speaking the truth. I actually taught class with #twoleftfeet. Keep Reading....A few months ago I was in my typical morning rush to pack my car with everything that I needed for the day ahead. Computer; check! Pocketbook; check! Lunch; check! And now, my mental roll-call for what I needed for the gym night ahead.
Here was my list, and I am NOT even kidding:
- Cycle shoes
- Zumba™ shoes (dance shoes)
- Shoes to teach Zumba™ Toning class (cross over shoes)
- Two full gym outfits (leggings, shirt, bra, socks and undies) for three classes because two of the classes were back-to-back and didn't have to time to change
- Auxiliary wires for the stereo (I always have 2 in case one decides to stop working)
- A bag full of batteries for my mic (AA and AAA)
- Mouth covers (2 sizes) for the mics
- iPhone/iTouch and back up iPad as music sources
- My own speakers! (When I know the speakers at the gym are broken, I carry my own)
- Water bottles
- Snacks
- Sweatshirt for after class
I taught an HOUR Zumba™ Fitness class with TWO LEFT SHOES ON. No Joke! And it is a lot harder that it would seem. At first I thought my mind was playing tricks on me. I thought to myself there was no way I couldn't tell the difference between right and left shoes. I actually sat and looked at the shoes for a while.

After I determined that I did truly have TWO LEFT FEET, I had three choices to make:
1. Cancel the class (Which I would NEVER DO)
2. Teach barefoot (Would be hard considering I have an injured LEFT foot and leg)
3. Teach with TWO LEFT FEET.
I chose what was behind Door #3. The #twoleftfeet dance option which was very challenging. For starters; I could not stop laughing. I was also WAY off balance literally tripping. In the end, it made for a good laugh and a good story. In fact when my hair band broke the other night, someone shouted out "At least you have both shoes tonight!"
