I don&#8217;t see myself as a graceful, coordinated person, so I don&#8217;t even want to imagine how it actually looked.<\/p>\n<p>Well, a few days ago I had the opportunity to try it again. I was game, because&#8230;well, it was with just a couple friends in their basement&#8230;on the Wii game. I actually started out good&#8230;and was titled the &#8220;Zumba Master&#8221;. From there, it went downhill and I was christened &#8220;Zumba Beginner&#8221; very soon after.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-4029\" alt=\"Zumba\" src=\"https:\/\/www.colourfulpalate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/Zumba-510x510.jpg\" width=\"510\" height=\"510\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.colourfulpalate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/Zumba-510x510.jpg 510w, https:\/\/www.colourfulpalate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/Zumba-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.colourfulpalate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/Zumba-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.colourfulpalate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/Zumba.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 510px) 100vw, 510px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Cest la vie!<\/p>\n<p>The zumba night was a lot of fun though, because I was also able to work on my sushi making skills.
