It wasn&#8217;t part of the original plan for Day 2 but I knew I could fit it in and so I did. I got there early to get a good spot and caught the tail end of Ricardo Carbalho&#8217;s class. <\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/40725709914\/in\/datetaken-public\/\"  title=\"Untitled\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/farm1.staticflickr.com\/887\/40725709914_0bc5b5e866.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" alt=\"Untitled\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I ran into these two Wichita cuties, Tammy and Rina.

I&#8217;m so glad that I found the time to take that class because it was beyond amazing. Star Lounge is probably the crappiest class venue on the ship because you can&#8217;t see anything and there&#8217;s only a small dance floor and the rest is carpet. Lindsey used that room so well, though. I tried to avoid Star Lounge as much as possible because I get really frustrated when I can&#8217;t see what&#8217;s going on but I didn&#8217;t have that problem at all during Lindsey&#8217;s class. She taught from the front, the back, the middle, and the sides. She was everywhere! She used the room more effectively than anyone else who had to teach in there. <\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/26560607907\/in\/datetaken-public\/\"  title=\"Untitled\"><img src=\"https:\/\/farm1.staticflickr.com\/880\/26560607907_449500edfd_c.jpg\" width=\"500\" alt=\"Untitled\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>My next class after was with Nick Logrea and Steve Boedt. This was another class that wasn&#8217;t part of my original schedule for the day but I found the time to squeeze in. I met Nick for the first time on the cruise a couple of years ago and was very impressed so I didn&#8217;t want to miss him. And, of course, Steve is always so fabulous. <\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/40717515074\/in\/datetaken-public\/\"  title=\"Untitled\"><img src=\"https:\/\/farm1.staticflickr.com\/901\/40717515074_a64b775a44_c.jpg\" width=\"500\" alt=\"Untitled\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The best part is Kass was there and so I managed to get a selfie with her. It made Brian slightly jealous. He&#8217;d been trying to get a selfie with her for years!<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/40717514124\/in\/datetaken-public\/\"  title=\"Untitled\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/farm1.staticflickr.com\/902\/40717514124_1e71ecbfc1.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" alt=\"Untitled\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>My final class for the day was with Jhon Gonzalez and Anna Marchenko out in the Sports Court. I didn&#8217;t like dancing in the Sports Court that much because the floor is kind of grippy and I didn&#8217;t feel as comfortable twisting and turning. I felt like I really had to pick up my feet each time. Anyway, that was class number six and, even though, I changed sneakers halfway through the day, the insoles of my shoes were pretty beat down and my feet were killing me. So I left the class with 15 minutes left to spare. I hated doing that but my feet were on fire. I actually questioned how I was going to get through three more days of Zumba.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/brubakers.us\/?p=18862\" >We had dinner in the fancy dining room with Natasha and, our new Australian friend, Kaveri that night<\/a> and then went to the party but we didn&#8217;t stay late. My feet were killing me and I was honestly worried about how they would feel the next morning. I just wanted to return to the room and put my feet up.  <\/p>\n<p>That pretty much sums up Day 2. It was a full day of doing Zumba from morning until night. Check back soon for Day 3!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Day 2 is the day I took six Zumba classes in one day.
