WOW! This was quite a weekend!!! Diversity World of Dance & Fitness held a 2 day U-JAM instructor training workshop... & I became U-JAM Fitness® CERTIFIED!!! Just like Hot Hula, I attended only ONE class and that's all it took- I was HOOKED! This dance fitness format is FUN, but definitely INTENSE! |

What I love most about U-Jam
(other than the dope music & choreo)
is... the UNITY!
We didn't just learn how to teach.
We were taught how to grow & become a
successful instructor, a great motivator.
One key phrase that Chin Solo instilled in us was,
"Always stay STUDENT-MINDED."
Keeping yourself student-minded will allow you to always keep learning, even when you feel you've mastered a particular area. In this case, teaching.
While we were huddled in a circle, Chin spoke directly to each one of us. And as he was speaking and going down the line, I got a bit emotional. Hearing what he had to say about each person and what strengths they possess individually was truly inspiring.
After all the hard work, I passed the written and practical exam with flying colors!
Next on the agenda, work on my video assessment, pass it, & become a credentialed U-JAM Fitness® intructor!
