HEB Hall...oh the memories.

EMZ today.

It's 4:45 am, been awake since 3 am.  By 4:15 I was awake and ready.  Now I'm just waiting until it's time to leave.  This is a first.  Those that know me and know me well, know that I am not a morning person.  Over the past year, almost two, I've learned how to be a 'morning person'.  Every now and then I ask myself why?  Such as this morning.

Then as I go back and look at old pictures, I am reminded why?  I am reminded of the diverse group we have built -- from young to old.  I am reminded of the elderly people that come early and anxiously wait for class to start.  I am reminded of the individuals who do not feel comfortable in a 'gym setting' for different reasons.  I am reminded of the individuals who are physically challenged that come out each morning even though it takes them about 10 minutes or so to get from their car to the building, it doesn't stop them.  I am reminded of the individuals who are struggling financially who would love to take part in the Zumba craze but can not afford it....and the list can go on if I were to share each person's challenge or success and their efforts to come out each morning.

What began as an avenue for me and others to "practice" has turned into something much more.  I'm not going to lie, there are moments where I wonder, is it worth it?  And as I sit and THINK...I am reminded of the love I have grown for everyone who is a part of this group.

Thank you EMZ Crew, you have taught me much more than Zumba!

What it takes to run EMZ...

Unlike most normal Zumba classes, instead of one instructor, we have anywhere from 2 or 3 to 13 that show up each morning to teach.  As much as we try and plan the playlist ahead, most of the time, the playlist is not complete until mid way through class.  Two of us alternate being in charge of the playlist -- myself (Sinai) on M, W & F and Dana on T & Th.  I'm sure in the near future we'll have the other instructors take on the task of dj'ing.

(The picture above is a rare occasion where I didn't have everyone's music -- thus the many iPods on the side.)
