California Fitness, Level 13 Aerobic Studio Raffles Club.... 30 hours of Zumba instructor training.. spread out over 3 days till the 21st of March, with Levels 1 and 2 conducted, a total of 8 styles of merengue, cumbia, salsa, reggaeton, flamenco, tango, samba and bellydance conducted. 2 Zumba licenses achieved and a hell of alot of personal satisfaction that I've finally have my licenses.
And guess who else was the ZES aka Zumba Education Specialist? International Fitness presenter, David Velez! And of course, we would know also him as one of my main dance instructors for coming to 3 years already... other than Rashidah.

Demonstration by Toby (Supa Street / Reggae Dance instructor @ Cali) and David. And that ladies and gentlemen.. is how you do your reggaeton stomp. (this VIDEO is strictly NOT available for copy or viewing anywhere else other than here on this blog, Dreaming Reality)
Oh and before I forget, turn your volume down so you won't get deaf from all our screaming... don't say I didn't warn you! :) and then we actually managed a picture, dripping waterfalls of sweat after our reggaeton set. Even my cap was soaking and dripping! Crazy! Picture with Toby and Esther!

Amazing! And he took the Zumba program WITH us.. with his years of experience.. being a master trainer of so many other programs, he could probably show us even more distinct and intricate dance technique than what we covered but it really shows that theres really no end in a persons learning journey... but that being said.. I felt so honoured to be training with some of the best.
Up next for me in April 2010 is FitBall Instructorship training & Core Stabilisation! So... look out for that new class up on my schedule from June onwards...

THE GREAT SINGAPORE WORKOUT!!! You can check that out HERE.
Oh Gawd! I burst out laughing (not at her though) when she told me that because it was such a memory! Can you remember it from the early 90s?!?! And the scary thing was.. I can so remember the lyrics and even the tune.. whaahahahahaahaha!!!
Did you know that the outfit "leotard" plus white shoes were COMPULSORY for aerobic instructors back then? She told me! and I was like... "are you freaking serious?!" Damn Oh biang can?!
Singapore should have another "Great Singapore Workout" Zumba style!!! Right? How fun would that be?!
BUT was great having them in the program and you can see how humble, without ego each of them were... *hand to heart touched*
We even had 2 ladies who flew in specially for the training from Brunei! Susan and Claire! Whoa! Those two were such sweeties!! and you could tell that they really enjoyed themselves. I'm hoping to stay in touch with them too!

Seriously.. some parts were damn bloody painful... *flicks tears aside & continues a body cramping cumbia hip rotation while being pressed down on the shoulders* "I don't care! I can do it! I can do iiiiit!!" *grits teeth*
So thats it for now! *Cheers*... Yes... I am officially a licensed ZUMBA instructor... Olé! *Swishes arm ala Matador style* ZUMBA!!!

so do you conduct zumba classes? I am interested in attending it and doing it more often! I have just been to one and I can say that I can see myself doing it every week!
Hi! I am hoping to be a Zumba instructor but there doesn't seem to be such courses in Singapore. Was wondering if you will know anywhere or anyone I can approach?Thanks so much for any info!:)
Hi Joey,
Unfortunately, the latest one just ended just a couple days back. If you'e keen, you may want to login to facebook and add Zumba Singapore group to see if there are updates for any upcoming trainings. :) All the best!
Pam
hi! do we already need to know some form of zumba to attend a course to be certified as a zumba instructor?
I would just like to say that I LOVE ZUMBA!I think everyone should attend an actual zumba class versus the dvds. I have an amazing instuctor who keeps every workout high intensity. I would also love to try on your class.
