My First ZumbAtomic Class

Well, my first ZumbAtomic class didn't go so well, but I accomplished my goal of Demo-ing the class to the owners of the Dojo I work for. So all was not lost. When I first walked in to the Halloween party, I was so excited! The room was full of 4-8 year olds. The PERFECT age for the song I was going to use, and for the game I was going to play with them (Center Star, for all my ZumbAtomic peeps). At the very last minute a slew of 14/15 year old boys walked in, and I knew I was done for. The time came for my ZumbAtomic class....which we renamed Zombietomic for the occasion, and it started off well, but the boys were being so loud that they scared most of the little kids away. Strangely enough the older boys were into the dance. Probably because I told them they would get electrocuted half way through the song. Anyway all was not lost, and even though I cut the class short the owners still want to start doing a ZumbAtomic session in December (probably). They also had a meeting with the Orange County parks and rec, and they said that the parks and rec department was sooooo excited that we were open because they get calls about Zumba every single day! They also are going to do all the advertising for free, and that INCLUDES sending kids home from school with information about the Dojo AND my ZumbAtomic, and Zumba classes. Woot! I hope to be very busy soon!! Here are some pics of my ZumbAtomic participants (and you can see the little kids backed up against the wall in fright LOL)
