With reference to this preview video of the Zumba Fever party, here are the pictures from that amazing evening... my gorgeous Zumba lover girlfriend, Lisa Kong organised this event and I helped to get a sponsor for some NOMU black pepper grinders for the goodybag which everyone loved!! Lisa invited David back to Singapore for this event and the logistics of this practically drove her crazy. Kudos to her to have pulled off such a successful event and everyone is looking forward to the video that she and Melvyn are creating right as we speak.... *excited!*
TAB @ Orchard Hotel was a great club location for the event and it was indeed a party to remember. The lighting was great, it was sufficiently ventilated, finger snacks and a complimentary gingerale or soft drink was provided, along with phenomenal company of my closest instructor friends, dance students and of course, who could forget the man who taught me how to shimmy shake the way I do, David Velez. Who now lives in China btw.. if you were wondering where he disappeared to...
The outfit for the evening? Outrageous Red! Black lace top with my coral Zumba pants and a short red wig... bling bling crystals and crazy long long dramatic lashes... no one recognised me till I greeted them in the face only to be received with a scream or a hug. The exhibitionist in me totally LOVED it! And I had to put this picture in here simply because it was too "act cutesy" for a middle aged woman like me with 2 pre-teens to be... *slaps self*
I had to pull off the wig right into the first set of the dance for the evening as it was slipping off and did the rest of the dance segment without it. Hard to miss my coral pants though.. and I loved that I was right smack in between the powerhouses of Shannon Lupian and Angela Grosse... we three totally rocked the dancefloor!!! If you want to know how a bootyshake is done, put us 3 together and it'll be a nosebleed.... wahhaahahaha!!
The dance floor was packed at the sold out event all the way to the bar and even up to the second level of the club as all that attended grind and bumped the clubs walls down... the atmosphere?! crazy crazy crazy... but then again.. its Zumba after all... its supposed to be crazy fun..
Ahh..and trust that David would give us that monkey monster face before we jabbed him into submission for a nice shot together... and finally he succumbed and said "okay.. here's a pose"... tada!! Zumba burning the dancefloor!! Zumba Heey!! Zumba Haa!!
Tonnes of pictures taken that day and I've only put some favourites up here for keeps. Group shot with organiser, Lisa Kong (front kneeling in green & green/orange top & a shot glass). A large majority, perhaps even more than 60% of the participants are licensed Zumba instructors... and that always makes for a great event..
Picture with my hot colombian chicka, Alida... love this shot! The blue lights make it so psychedelic!! *loves!*
Groupshot with my girlfriends - Sharon, Tosca, Charlotte with "Rasta-man" Terence and "Super Zumba Ella!" to the rescue!!...
Another group shot with Emily and Azmy added in too!! Zumba!!
One of my favourite persons, Sharon.... love that she came! She's new to Zumba and slowly.. I will convert her.. slowly... *evil snigger*.... ~hiak...hiak... hiak...~
I'm not sure about Azmy (in yellow) but the 3 of us here - Charlotte, Terence and I came from very fatty backgrounds. My 34kg weightloss story has always been a feature on my blog, Terence who was one of the successful winning contestants in our local TV weightloss programme, Lose to Win lost BIG!! He used to be really huge!!! and look at him now... exercise fanatic and yes yes yes!! newly licensed Zumba instructor too!! Charlotte - one of my dearest blog readers, dance student and friend also lost a great amount of weight to look as hot as she does now... she recently took the Zumba instructor course wih Terence too and she's also the founder and advocate of the Singapore Weight Watchers group.
