As some of you know I went to Amsterdam a week ago for yet more Zumba experience and to get my Aqua Zumba certification.

I was very exited about going because I knew that Beto would be there and it was a great opportunity to meet him in person. But of course the volcano erupted just the day before and I didn’t know whether I would find an alternative route. Luckily there were bus tickets  available and I used that opportunity.

On the arrival there was no time to waste as the work shop was due to start in one hour. I walked to a registration desk and there was Beto. He was sitting on the table, so real and approachable.

Everyone wanted a photo with Beto and I could’t resist the temptation. The thought that I would spend all day in the company off Zumba enthusiasts and Beto, wiped away all tiredness from a sleepless night and a long journey.

It was very interesting to hear Beto’s story in his own words, to learn from his experience and self belief. He was very professional and full of passion for Zumba, his creation, his child.

Once the music came on and Beto started his masterclass everyone seemed to unite together as a big family. We moved to the music, people smiled to me I smiled back to them, it was amazing.

With the work  shop over there was more action in the evening. Zumba Fitness organised a live band and supper for everyone. I managed to meet lots of passionate Zumba instructors who came from different backgrounds and cultures, some people very talented in many ways, there was fashion designers , makeup artists, gymnasts,  but everyone had one thing in common, the love for Zumba.

Now I’m really looking forward to go to the next big Zumba convention in Orlando.

Hope to see you all soon in my Zumba class.
