It may seem from a Birdseye view a piece of cake. You figure that every Zumba class is comprised of many of the basic moves you were taught in Basic training so it should go swimmingly. However, when you get to the class and have your merengue and salsa beats going you quickly realize that this particular class is more of the Reggaeton crowd. The room gets a bit chilly while you're firing out your best moves and you're feeling out of place.
It happens to all of us once in a while!
But it's nothing to fret about, every instructor has their own style and just because yours isn't identical to your colleagues doesn't make it any less fun or less valuable. Just remember you are stepping into the class to help out and not to take too much from the students expressions: they are learning a style from another awesome instructor and that doesn't always come easy right away. Do your very best to keep smiling, and inviting them into the dance party. By keeping a lively mood and happy demeanor you will not only help them adjust but also help yourself feel more confident.
Furthermore, that same student who may seem to be frowning may show up to your class later on that week. You never know!
Keep on dancing!
