A few of my favorite students were the only attendees at last night's Zumba course (hosted by yours truly). We had a ball. We wore belly dancing scarves and danced like we meant it. I've discovered that I like a smaller class...not just because I'm an Introvert. I like a smaller class because it changes the dynamics. Students feel freer to ask questions and request demonstrations/break-downs of steps. They can request what they like without having the idea shot down by other students (yes, this happens). I aimed for the timing/days of my class with a goal of getting the shyer folks to come out right after work, when we ladies/gents of a certain age are ready to dance. It worked.
When I have a larger class, I still have fun. I go home exhausted either way, and the work-out is awesome for busting stress. But I still feel happier with my favorite students, having a ball and hamming it up a little.
