Last week we had a conflict with our Wednesday night Zumba class. The room we’ve been using was double booked. Instead of canceling our class or asking the other meeting to be moved, Steph and I decided to take our event outside. The recreation center where we normally have class is surrounded by a large, gorgeous park. The park features a pond with an observation pier. The end of the pier opens up to a large area that is about the size of our meeting room and it has power. It was a perfect spot for us to hold our class!
The weather was perfect too! It was touch-and-go all afternoon but started clearing around 4 PM. By class time at 6:15 PM, it was sunny and breezy. We bought colorful balloons and a hung our Zumba banner from the railing. It looked like a party out there, for sure 🙂
We had a nice turnout for the class. Needless to say, we got all sorts of curious people checking us out. I’m sure it was quite a spectacle for those who usually enjoy a leisurely evening stroll in the park! We even had one guy openly stare at us at the end of the pier for half of the class. Ha!
