Mea Culpa or My Bad
Whoops!�� After printing leaflets, posters and big old signs promising everyone who came to class for the first time in March a free bag or water bottle I keep forgetting to give them out in class when you come!!
I am so sorry!���
If you have just started classes please do remind me - I love giving out presents - and if you miss me (I'm off on hols 3-15th April) I'll get them to you just as soon as I get back!
Walking the Walk
I know... I'm always talking about escapes, taking time out, taking things at your own pace and then I find myself - either when work gets tough or when I take a holiday realising just how little I am following my own advice.�� I have not had a massage since my New Year escape!���
Mea culpa (again!)���
So I love when I do get to take time off and know that I am 100% walking the walk, relaxing, enjoying the moment, getting massages, learning, soaking up everything amazing about the places I go.�� It's what reinvigorates me and makes me fall in love with my day to day practice again. �����
And good news!�� I'm taking you all with me, well, I'll be sharing the trip with you - not only when I get back but also in my Instagram posts.�� I won't be on email or responding to texts, but I like to share "postcards" with family and friends!
Not all my escapes are right for everyone - you may hear about it or see a photo and be truly bored.�� I'll be honest, there are classes I've taught which have gone horribly wrong and not worked for the people in the class at all (it happens less, but it still happens) and sometimes it takes us 3-4 weeks to fall in love with a track, but I keep trying - it's really intuition, guesswork and experience (i.e. what has worked before but might completely let you down with a new group).�� Sometimes experience is nothing more than an assumption - but that worked so well with my Tuesday class - you should love it!�� Hey ho.���
But, here's the thing, I invited everyone on this trip (seriously) and I'm the only one going.�� And that's great, because I think I was meant to take this trip alone.�� (I'm believing more and more in destiny as I get older.)�� But everyone was invited - like my classes, there's no selection process, no prerequisites, like becoming a Zumba Instructor, the door is open to everyone. ��
That doesn't mean it's right for everyone or that you would like it - that's a guess until you land (I might hate it!) but remember when you see anything, not just my posts but anything on magazines, TV, social media and it makes you light up, stay with it.�� Don't shut it down with an "I can't" or an "I couldn't" (I mean, really if I asked you to do any of the moves we do in class you'd probably say you couldn't - but we don't think about it, we just do and then we look back and say "wow, I just did that".)�� So just stay with it, and reflect on it - is this my dream, something that speaks to my heart, or is it just great advertising?�� Is this my heart's desire or just something I would like to impress people with?�� (It's a trap and we all fall into it!) ��
Stay with it, if it speaks to your heart, don't shut it down, let yourself dream, let yourself play with it, let yourself live into it, make space for it, save or earn for it, whatever it is, no matter if everyone thinks you're crazy or out of your league, (even if you sometimes think you are crazy or out of your league), because dreams really do come true.�� Vegas has been my dream for such a long time and now I get to live my dream and my heart is singing.
Anything is possible.
What It Takes To Run A Successful Business
More deep thinking from me on the whole nature of ���business��� and ���success���.
Salsa Classes start Thursday 21st April
I���m excited and nervous about starting teaching salsa classes in Wimbledon Park at the Estella Tapas Bar (across the street from Wimbledon Park Hall) so am offering a special Satisfaction guarantee - if you don���t feel you got enough out of the class you get your money back, no quibbles.
The classes will be very different to my Zumba classes...
It���s partner dancing - bring a partner or find one there, you are very welcome to dance with anyone you like, it doesn���t have to be someone of the opposite sex, and if you can���t find a partner unfortunately you���ll get me!
The session will last 2 hours (no squats!) with around an hour of practice time and an hour of instruction. So it will be 8-8:30pm practice and freestyle, 8-30-9:30pm instruction and 9:30-10pm practice and freestyle.
It���s a very small space so we have around room for 16-20 people, you can buy your ticket in advance with Estella Bar or with me and it���s first come first served.
Oh, and it���s ��7 per person and feel free to dress up! You can book direct with me or in the bar.
And there���s a bar and a restaurant so you can enjoy a proper Latin night out!
The main focus of the classes will be building up your confidence to dance with a partner and dance freestyle, rather than following a choreography or an instructor.
It���s not about perfecting a step or dancing the same as anyone else but about learning trust and finding your own way of moving inside the music.
Oh and having fun, of course.
Afternoon Tea Wednesday 20th April
Jasmine at Arthurs is creating a special afternoon tea for us on Wednesday 20th April at 3pm which will include savouries (I���ve asked her to include her incredible quiche), cakes (all home made) and, of course, tea.
The price will be ��7.50 and please do book with me as soon as you can, we can cater for up to 30 but the sooner Jasmine knows numbers the more creative she can be with our special afternoon tea!
Need A Speaker?
If you are looking for a speaker for an event or group then I���d love to know. Pearl Escapes is all about helping people escape, not just fitness or healthy eating (although, of course I can talk about that too) so if you���d like to hear more about spas, massage, amazing escapes around the world, or even how to organise and book your travel to make the most of your time and budget, I���m your perfect speaker.
