We have such a fun but hard job of creating choreography that is exciting, challenging and functional for our Zumba classes. I encourage you as an instructor to find time to “create”. I find this time in my car and when I am working out.

When choosing your music, make sure that it represents you and your personality. When putting moves to the music, pick moves that go with that music. You don’t put cumbia moves in a merengue song or vice versa.

I have always told my colleagues that there are fundamental steps and all we are doing is taking those steps and making them our own. Be creative and try not to take the same moves and place them in every song that is similar. This is where it becomes hard and challenging but possible.

When listening to your music listen to the parts that are the same. Use the same move for that part. I always try to come up with that “ONE” move…the move that “stamps” that song. Once I come up with that the rest usually falls into place.

Listen to the beats. Try to categorize each phrase of the song. I am a 32-count person so I am always trying to make sure that everything fits into that but I know not all songs do. BUT there is a way to make it work. Knowing the counts to each phrase helps in putting your choreography together. It makes it easy for you and for the students following you in your classes because more than likely they can “hear” it in the music.

If you have questions about this please do not hesitate to email me and I will explain in more depth. You can also watch my Zumba videos or soon to come Zumba dvd for examples of how I match music with my choreography.

The bottom line is to have fun and always challenge yourself to go to the next level. You will grow as an instructor and your classes will reap the benefits.

One of the most rarest and pricey cars in the planet is the Porsche Carrera GT.  The original set up for this car is to have a flat-6 engine and compete as a Le Mans racecar.  Eventually, the Carrera GT was marketed for consumers who can afford it and gave it a V10 5.5 liter engine. 

Similar to any standard up to date sportscars, the Carrera GT is 6 ft. long and less than 4 ft high.  In less than 7 seconds, the GT can shoot from 0-1,287 km/h with more space still left to step on the gas pedal.  With a car like this, you can effortlessly have the highway.

Its top technological blueprint and highlights do not come mostly from computerized arms, the car is crafted by hand and over 130 man hours are used. 

The GT’s chassis is another engineering accomplishment for Posche.  The word given for this type of chassis is monocot.  An original term borrowed from monocot plants which have one seed-leaf as opposed to a dicot.  A monocot chassis has the panels on the bottom and the panels at the top (body) merged as a single frame, giving it more strength and firmness.

The Porsche Carrera GT may not have become a racecar as it was primarily intended to but a lot of workings that are found on racecars have been incorporated on this vehicle.  One of which are the brake and clutch plates which are made from ceramic plates well-known to dissipate heat brought about by friction.  With a combination of carbon fiber and silicon composites, ceramic clutches and brakes are regularly used on F1 and Le Mans racecars. 

Because of the advanced technological design found in the Porsche Carrera GT, replacement of parts and maintenance can cost a lot of quids.   In case the clutch demands replacing, the owner needs to shell-out more than 18,000 pounds for a new ceramic clutch.

The Carrera GT is also aerodynamically superb in its own way.  Apart from the engine being lowered, the car also has a rear spoiler that automatically rise up when the car goes on rigid turns.

The car’s sculpted curves and rear diffusers channel air to keep the car firmly grounded and stable particularly on high speeds.  The streamline figure of the car is designed to decrease drag, thus increasing the GT’s speed.

Starting a Porsche Carrera will involve your left hand.  Their reason for making this feature is for drivers to start the engine with the left and set the gear with the right and off you go. 

The GT is a limited edition sportscar and only 1,270 were ever created.  This car costs more than £300,000.

Owners of the car can almost do tricks with it because of the performance threshold.  A slight wrong steer with a little too much gas can spin you along the road easily. 

The GT also has great responsiveness.  Just a little step on the gas will give you an acceleration that could outrun any other on the road.  The extreme performance presented by the Porsche Carrera GT adds to its overall appeal for luxury, style, and performance.
