Back From Hols!
I have to be honest, I had the Best. Holiday. Ever. and very soon you will see some ge...orgeous photos that may make you a bit sick (not least of the new man in my life!) Yes, although I often feel terminally single, I literally walked along a beach in moonlight and met him (not romantic at all!)
So, I feel for anyone who either missed out on a holiday altogether, is down because their holiday didn’t work out as planned, or if like me, you had an awesome time but are finding it hard to adjust to regular life (and suddenly being in a long distance relationship and not just with Zumba Head Office!)
Convention was awesome, I always learn so much and I feel like I change as a person in the few days I am there, learning not just about Zumba but about myself and this year “business”. Sometimes I am in denial that Zumba is my business as it’s just too much fun, but this year made me think about that - I did my first professional photo shoot (like pulling teeth - it is not fun having someone yell “be natural” at you when you’re trying to hit a spot and suck everything in), but I think I got a few photos for new leaflets n stuff.
Most of all, as always, going to any event I come back impressed with just how great you guys are. Your moves are really up there with a room of Instructors (seriously, I am not just saying that) and your behaviour is way, way better. I am reminded that top of my priorities is to provide you with a safe space to express yourselves and let yourselves go - and please do feed back to me if you ever feel that you are not getting this from me - especially when things get a bit busy, as in masterclasses.
I met some fabulous instructors and I have invited as many as I can to come visit us in London and give masterclasses here and I hope to announce some exciting guests soon, but if I can’t get them here, I try to soak up their genius and bring it on back to you (give me a few weeks!!)
I’ll be writing up my adventures for my Spa Breaks books, but in short here are a few of the Best from my trip.
Best Housekeeping Service
Mandarin Oriental Miami - they tidy my stuff without moving it, even my messy bathroom toiletries. Please, please can I get this at home - it would save me HOURS every week!!
Best Jacuzzi/Spa Bath
Mandarin Oriental Miami - heaven!
Best People Watching
Three way tie between South Beach (no, not everyone in Miami has a perfect body!), Zumba Convention (no, not every Zumba Instructor has a perfect body!) and Key West (no, not everyone wears clothes!)
Best Bar Staff
Mandarin Oriental Miami - if you have to eat at the bar in any hotel these guys are the best companions (and then they put my favourite sparkling water in my mini-bar!)
Best Barefoot Destination
Clearwater
Best Cocktail
Tranquility Bay Beach Resort - Key Lime - like drinking a Key Lime cheesecake through a straw - with rum.
Best Shopping
Zumba Convention!!!!
Best Waterslide
Hilton Orlando - I made all the other instructors do it!!!
Best Food
Costa D’Este - Vero Beach
Best Massage
Key Largo - Gulf Stream Water Dance (so cool, so fun!)
Best Snorkelling
Bahia Honda beach near Marathon - Florida Keys - no boat required just snorkel right off the beach!
Most Annoying Thing
Staying under budget but then not factoring in the stupid Florida extras... sales tax on the room, resort fees, occupancy fees (seriously, an extra 12.5% for actually staying in the room you booked!) and then more sales tax on that. Next time I’m staying at the Native American hotel - no sales tax and probably no occupancy fees either - varies even with counties in Florida!
Stupidest Thing I Did
Back To The Old Skool Master Class – September
Also Featuring Mara Fekete!
Congratulations!
To all you guys who completed reward cards while I was away!
Jan completed 20 classes!
Diary Dates
Monday 1st September - classes start at Wimbledon Park Hall
Wednesday 3rd September - no classes at Acacia due to centre closure
Saturday 13th September - Back To Old Skool master class
Thank You...
...for being so supportive of one another, taking care of each other and making my job so easy!!
Please do let me know any requests, suggestions or questions you have, for classes, my website or this newsletter.
Much love, Pearl
