No more Nautilus for me, or Aerobics either. For sure no more of the private hell of  Step Aerobics.Depending on what day of the week it is you’ll find me either clenching my abdominals or dancing . At the Y. With a roomful of other people, including a 90-year-old who can do  a better imitation of a soft pretzel than anyone else I know.Often I do  Zumba, which is  fast-paced Latin dancing mostly: Meringue, Mambo, Salsa, with Dances of Many Other Times and Places thrown in. I also take a Hip Hop class each week and another class with a lot of Bollywood, which is actually a lot more like Hip Hop than you might imagine. (In fact click the link below to see some adorable Bollywood dancers:[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4aumLcSU3-g]But what I really really really love these days is the dance technique called Nia which you could say is what you get when roomfuls of  otherwise normal adults take leave of their senses entirely . Go in past the naked-lady James Bond silhouettes  to the clip of me sitting in a dance studio and speaking German! The actual movements start about a minute into the video but don’t I look awesome ? Thanks to my new regimen at the Y I'm now multilingual - AND I have no tummy at all![youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQNPZdXtc0k&feature=related]
