Of course, some of them escaped before the group photo (some people do not like to be photographed) so above is all I got. <\/p>\n<p>One of the benefits of teaching at a different branch than my home branch is that it gave me an opportunity to meet some new people &#8212; quite a few of them were trying Aqua Zumba for the first time. I love introducing people to Aqua Zumba because they&#8217;re always amazed at how awesome a workout it is. <\/p>\n<p>Honestly, between you and me, if I had a choice to take a Zumba class or an Aqua Zumba class, Aqua Zumba would win hands down. It&#8217;s not as fun to teach &#8212; I prefer teaching my regular Zumba classes &#8212; but it sure feels amazing when you&#8217;re the one in the water. I wish I had more time to take Aqua Zumba classes. <\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/28328644937\/in\/datetaken\/\"  title=\"Untitled\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/farm2.staticflickr.com\/1830\/28328644937_0a983ff727.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" alt=\"Untitled\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Oh, while it was nice meeting new people, it really made my day that my Andover Zumba family came to do Aqua Zumba with us at North YMCA. When you&#8217;re teaching a class full of strangers at a different gym that you don&#8217;t normally teach at, it&#8217;s nice to see familiar faces. <\/p>\n<blockquote><p><BIG>Huge shout out to my Andover Zumba family. Thank you. You guys are the best!<\/BIG><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>BTW, when we say family we really mean it. Alicia and her kids Brandon and Kariana were there. Amanda brought her mom and dad and brother and even her brother&#8217;s girlfriend came to workout with us! <\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/43198417781\/in\/datetaken\/\"  title=\"Untitled\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/farm1.staticflickr.com\/916\/43198417781_0ffeb524e3.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" alt=\"Untitled\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s Alicia with Brian. She&#8217;s like my sister from another mother. Super nice and full of joy. I really enjoying having her in class. <\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/28328644967\/in\/datetaken\/\"  title=\"Untitled\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/farm2.staticflickr.com\/1806\/28328644967_58986121ee.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" alt=\"Untitled\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Amanda and Andrea are two others who are great to have in class. They&#8217;re both full of energy &#8212; Amanda specially. Oh, and they&#8217;re both licensed Zumba instructors too so they&#8217;ve been leading songs in our regular Zumba classes and that makes it even more fun.
