Comments on: Wednesday’s…no, I’ll be original To Friendship! http://www.plotmonkeys.com/2009/07/22/wednesdays-no-ill-be-original-to-friendship/ Testing the Plot Monkey Blog Sun, 12 Feb 2012 03:38:14 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Ronda Nicholes http://www.plotmonkeys.com/2009/07/22/wednesdays-no-ill-be-original-to-friendship/#comment-120883 Ronda Nicholes Thu, 23 Jul 2009 16:01:10 +0000 http://www.plotmonkeys.com/?p=2513#comment-120883 To Julie...I read your Tuesday blog and the comment about being approached to become a Jazzercise instructor. How exciting! I have been an instructor for almost 6 years and I have been doing jazzercise for over 10. I truly love it! My advice would be to take classes with all of the different instructors at your location. It will give you the chance to see different teaching techniques and intensity. Jazzercise Inc. is really pushing all instructors (lite or not) to teach at an "overwhelming intensity". If you wait too long for workshop you develop bad habits; if you go too soon- you don't get enough time to "build the intensity" as you mentioned, and really hone good technique. Take in all the advice and tips from you instuctor/mentor. She will have a movement checklist that will help you know if you are ready to proceed plus a workshop dvd so you could get a sneak peek of what they are expecting you to be capable of. Good luck! And I also love this website...I started reading Carly's books and found this through her site. That lead me to read books from all of the plot monkey authors. You guys are awesome and I can't wait to teach class tomorrow and share with all of my students that one of my favorite authors is a fellow jazzercise junkie:) To Julie…I read your Tuesday blog and the comment about being approached to become a Jazzercise instructor.

I wish I did, and I think that is a big part of why I hang out in the jungle so much. I missed the best friend boat, but you guys help me out a lot. Janelle, I wouldn't have pegged you as the toughest of the bunch...lol...I am glad that the other :monkey: :monkey: :monkey: were there to hear you and shore you up though...I am usually the rock for others, and I don't allow myself to break with them...that takes alot of guts and courage that I don't have, and I am too much of a weenie to open up like that...I fear the flood that will happen, if a rock in my wall gets loose...

I am one of the best listeners in the world because of it though...a lot of times that is what others need, so I am happy to fill that role. Stacy, I’m like that too.
