I never did catch Beto at the convention last year but this time he actually got in the pool and took the Aqua Zumba master class with us.

It&#8217;s just too much like other existing group exercise formats. At least, I don&#8217;t think the YMCA will offer it.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/12275108203\/\"  title=\"Untitled by Ching, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/farm6.staticflickr.com\/5533\/12275108203_a8acd83732_z.jpg\" class=\"pic\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\" alt=\"Untitled\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Oh, and guess who I ran into while I was watching the Zumba Step demo.
