WHO: Yuuri and anybody who signed up for Zumba! (it's okay to handwave/offscreen that your character signed up!)
WHERE: Dance!!! Studio
WHEN: Backdated to Saturday morning on the 18th
WHAT: ZUMBA!!!
WARNINGS: None, but will update if necessary



The class will start with Yuuri giving a short introduction on Zumba, what the format of the class will be like, and letting everyone briefly introduce themselves (tell us your name and something about you we should know). After that comes the warm-up and then the real fun starts! Music will be playing loud, and everyone will be moving a lot, but that doesn't mean conversations can't happen (it's just not a very smart choice). Also, Yuuri will be demonstrating both low and high impact versions of the same steps so everyone can work at their own pace. If you get tired, it's totally okay to take a break or just stay in place marching! This is a no-judgment zone.

Since this is the first class, the steps will be easy to follow, so everyone can start getting the hang of things little by little.

Overall there will be around 10-12 songs, including both warm-up and cool-down (and alternating with high and low intensity). There'll also be lots of clapping and cheering after every song and at the end of the class.

tl;dr: It's going to be fun, noisy, and high energy. This is meant as a general Zumba mingle, so feel free to have prompts at any point before, during, or even after the class.

[ Viktor was just hanging around while waiting for Yuuri's class to start, and then he hears what Maya is saying... Outrunning the ball of string? That gets him to laugh... This new class certainly brought some interesting people to the studio. ]

Wow, that's a goal I hadn't heard before!

[strongestheart]

[She gives a sheepish smile and laughs, waving it off a bit.]

Well, I always figured it's good to have something to strive to, and that's a weirdly realistic one right now.

[Given how many time she got tangled up...]

I always try to keep fit, but it's been awhile since I had anything super consistent that really pushed me.

[viktorymaker]

[ As someone who had to chase his dog (who was chasing after the ball of string in turn), he nods at that... It's very true! Somehow. ]

Well, I hope you like this class. Consistency depends on you, after all.

Is this your first time doing something dance-related?

[strongestheart]

["Consistency depends on you" is sure something that hits a certain chord in Maya's mind. It's not wrong, and something even she's realized about herself, but... she's not going to stress over that. She'll take what she can as far as reinforcing drive to keep with things.]

I do like it! I'm gonna do my best to hold up my end, then!

[To the question though, she blinks and shakes her head.] Oh, no! I've played some sports here and there, but... not dancing! So I'm probably missing steps a lot starting out, here...

[viktorymaker]

[ Not stressing over things is good! Regardless of how he phrased that, he doesn't seem to be too hung up on the details, honestly... He can be very demanding with his students, but not with the Zumba crowd! He's not even teaching this class, and pushing people is not the point of this class either, at least not as far as he's concerned. ]

You'll get the hang of it as you go. Yuuri can help you if you have any questions. Just remember to have fun and don't obsess over the steps too much, OK?

[strongestheart]

Heh, I can be a bit of a perfectionist when I'm trying to get good at something, so... I'll have to try and keep that in mind.

[She flashes a smile and a thumb's up.] Fun is a super easy place to start, though!

[viktorymaker]

[ He smiles back at her. ]

That's good-- both being a perfectionist and finding fun easy. It sounds like you're ready to make the most of this class.

Good luck today!

[strongestheart]

[She gives a toothy grin.] If you're gonna do something, do it well, but there's no need to not try and have fun while you're at it! It's what's so exciting about trying new things!

[She gives him a solid nod.] Thank you, though! For that, and for pointing us here in the first place!
