I remember you posting about practising using Youtube -- so impressive!
Ahh, yeah, I started that when corona came around as an alternative to Zumba, since I wasn't keeping a proper exercise schedule trying to do Zumba on my own - having to come up with the choreo took too much brain function for me to stick with it for the whole 60 minutes I wanted. Having someone to imitate and goals to complete (e.g. complex move sets or whole choreos) was the sort of incentive I needed to keep doing this on the regular :D
Work definitely gets in the way nowadays (I can't learn as many new things, but I do a lot of refreshing old choreos). The dance course is helping with that! We're learning a lot of chorusses of whatever's popular currently, then move on to the next.
I used to do a ton of Zumba, but my instructors kept leaving the country or quitting, and I fell out of the habit, boo.
*handshake of commiseration* Zumba is fun, but without a steady instructor is definitely hard! (I used to do it for a year in... 2014/15 I wanna say? I had health complications which is why I stopped, and later tried to pick it up solo on my own to get my stamina back up)
