You Can Dance!

I grew up on music. I remember watching the first video on MTV, Video Killed the Radio Star, in August 1981.  I was 6.

I idolized Michael Jackson and Madonna.

I spent hours watching music videos - learning dance moves.

I was in ballet, tap and jazz - then joined a pom pon squad once I was old enough, I was on the dance team in high school and college.  I loved dance!

I remember waiting for my parents to leave the house so I could blast the stereo in our basement and dance --- BECAUSE NO ONE WAS WATCHING.

I used to dance my heart out whenever I could.  Dance and music has always been a huge part of my life. I found joy in upbeat music, I could relate to sad songs when I felt down, and music took me into a world where no one could judge me or make me feel like I wasn't good enough.

I didn't care what anyone thought when I danced. 

So you can probably imagine my excitement when I heard about a new exercise program- that was not like exercise - it was dancing.  Oh My GEEEEE!!!  I was going to be able to dance in my house (like no one is watching) and call it exercise.  Seriously? HA! 

I am on Day 5...and let me tell you...IT IS AWESOME!!!! 

You learn step-by-step each move.  Even my husband said it was easy to follow.  My daughter loves it too.  She called it "Radical!"

5 Days in and I feel pretty awesome.  You get a great cardio workout - and sweat a lot.  If you are interested in trying the program - please comment or send me a message. I would love to share the details with you.
