Bio: Growing up, Laurie Willis was the kid who excelled in academics but struggled with anything related to physical education. In retirement, she found Zumba and fell in love with it. She believes everyone, even people like her, can enjoy a Zumba dance party, move to the music, and take part in a fitness activity disguised as dance. Everyone is welcome in this Zumba Gold (low impact) class. She extends a special invitation to anyone who feels uncomfortable with fitness, thinks they are not “good enough,” or needs extra time to get the hang of movements others, often younger people, seem to pick up easily. She believes you can do it. It is okay if learning takes time. It is okay if every step is not “right.” Just moving and having fun is what counts!
