I really don't get it. Why does every single person who arrives late for Zumba stand right next to me?! I'm sure it has to do with my habit of standing in the last row to the instructor's left, but it's SO ANNOYING! When someone comes in late, I puff up in my best frilled lizard impression and flail all of my appendages around to scare them off, but they head directly for me! Why is that?!At least I know I'm not the only one who has this pet peeve. The other day I heard a woman talking before class about a woman who came to yoga and put her mat a few inches away from hers. She was going on and on about how much it pissed her off and then she admitted that it happened 9 years ago!
I am tempted to start standing up front next to Tara and Rachel, but then I'd have to look at myself in the mirror the whole time. At the risk of having all 423 of you show up, there's an awesome class on Sunday mornings at 9:30 at the Ballet Space, and nobody ever stands next to me when they come in late. The instructor is one of my absolute favorites - Ali Struyk (http://www.zumbawithali.com/). If you buy a card for 10 classes, they are $10 each. She also offers a 20-class card for $160, or a single class for $14. Well worth it!
PS. Ali has a mix on iTunes of the music that she uses in class. I think you need to have iTunes installed on your computer, and here's the link to her mix: http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewIMix?id=320207981

Caution: You may break out into pelvic circles at a backyard barbecue if you hear the song from your favorite routine. I'm not saying that I've done that, but it could happen.
