Hi my name is Gillian, and here is my story about how and why I’ve joined Sveta’s lovely, inspiring and happy Dance4ever Community.
My neighbour had recently lost her husband and we both felt we needed to get out of the house and do something. While walking past Heatherside community hall I noticed a poster for Zumba Gold. Now being 64 at the time and suffering from rhumatoid arthrits since my mid 40’s, I thought this might be just up my street! I love ‘bopping’ about to a bit of loud music when I’m alone at home (my better half prefers something more classical).
Well to cut a long story short as not to bore you, after my first visit I was totally hooked. Sveta makes you feel so welcome and is just such an inspiration. We are just one big happy Zumba family. I enjoy the dancing and one day I want to shake my hips just like Sveta. (Ok well I’m allowed to have a little dream aren’t I?). Once I walk into the hall and the music is playing my feet take over and I dance down the hall. I laugh so much if I go wrong and no one minds that. Even if I’ve been feeling a bit low or tired once I hear that music and I shake those hips my whole well-being improves. My body feels better for the exercise, My general well being is greatly improved, and between dancing and watching my diet I’ve lost weight. I’m just so happy I took that first step into that hall and met my dear friend Sveta and so many other lovely ladies I hope I can now call my friends.
