And fun! Only 5 minutes a day for the next 30 days! Dance while you're cooking, taking a shower, walking the dogs, with your spouse and kids.. just do it...I dare ya!!!!

MelliebuStacey Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Hahaha! I dance while doing food prep...it's my favorite habit.

Tom Jobim "Mais Que Nada" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 I love to dance in the kitchen, too! The most recent song I danced to at home was "In da club" by 50 cent. My husband brought home a Kinect for work and it is one of the songs on the dance game. A song from yesterday's workout that I always love dancing to is "Hello Bonjour" by Michael Franti. My favorite hidden track is "Thank you for the music" by Abba and performed by Amanda Seyfried. I was weaned on Queen and one song that gets my jive going is "This thing called love." In my head, I dance like this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Today I have two choices. The Pussycat Dolls - When I grow up Fatboy Slim - Funk Soul Brother Tomorrow, I am thinking of learning the wobble or the cha cha slide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharon Simpson Thumann Posted April 4, 2013 Author Share Posted April 4, 2013 My playlists consists of something from every genre. Opera, rock, pop, country, Latin, alternative.. well you get it. Today was a Josh Groban day though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Hmmm...I'll have to look up some Josh Groban. Yesterday, I was cooking most of the day, so it was easy to dance. I had Pitbull radio on and Bruno Mars radio. The song that really got me going was James Brown's I got you. I can still hear it and the brass gets me going. I think I'm with Susan...please let there be no security cameras. Today, dancing in front of mirrors and others in about 15 minutes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharon Simpson Thumann Posted April 6, 2013 Author Share Posted April 6, 2013 Haha! Well today was a Pitbull day mixed with some Enrique Iglesias and Marc Anthony. Latin baby! Makes ya wanna.. well nvm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 I enjoyed a Latin warm-up with Shakira's I'm a gypsy and Ozomatli singing about shaking it right before my cool down. I just returned to dance with some amazing women. Now that we are sharing this here, I feel my primal (internet-based) world meeting my feminine world. Makes you wanna - sounds like we may be feelin' some classic Usher tomorrow. And, yes, it does make me wanna! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
befabdaily Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 I think Zumba has gained such wide appeal because it's secretly primal activity. Much more fun to dance around the bonfire with your friends than to run on the treadmill. I never worry that I'm falling into the chronic cardio trap with Zumba because it hits some totally different brain centers than slogging through a 3 mile run. That said, I Lean(ed) Like a Cholo this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MelliebuStacey Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Alright, yesterday post-run I danced up a storm in the kitchen listening to some David Bowie "Fame" and Tom Petty "Last Dance With Mary Jane" (I was feeling the oldies) Today was a "Good" (Better than Ezra) and "99 Problems" (Jay-z) kind of morning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Today was a close call, but my Bruno Mars station played me some Sweet Caroline and Brown Eyed Girl while I was doing dishes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 My dogs are mostly OK with dancing, but bear crawls get my heels bitten! Seether...very nice. I think my Bruno Mars station is broken. BUT, I wasn't quite feeling the dancing today and clicked on the radio and got to shake my tail feathers with Rockin' Robin by Bobby Day. I particulary felt like I must be doing something right when I heard the whistle at the end. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MelliebuStacey Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Boogied to an old classic from my roots today-- "Mais que Nada" - Sergio Mendes. Nothing like some samba beats to get this girl movin' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robin Strathdee Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 This thread makes me so happy. SO HAPPY! I love to see what you're all listening to and I have to say, I'm a little surprised! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharon Simpson Thumann Posted April 12, 2013 Author Share Posted April 12, 2013 Why are you surprised, Robin? Yesterday was a Toby Keith, Brooks n Dunn and Tracy Lawrence kinda day and a few others.. Boot Scootin' Boogie Honky Tonk Badonkadonk How Do Ya Like Me Now Should've Been A Cowboy Rock My World(Little Country Girl) Only In America Honky Tonk Stomp Red Solo Cup Who's Your Daddy Beer For My Horses How A Cowgirl Says Goodbye Haven't quite got started today.. Do any of you listen to music to wind down your day? Or music that inspires? I like to listen to Il Divo to wind down the day or The Mormon Tabernacle Choir, stuff along those lines.

Nadia B Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 I am in love with Songza, have you guys tried it? It streams music that fits certain mood/activity/time if day. Great playlists. My choice today is "Enjoying the morning" + "Summer all year long", makes the fact it's cold and raining outside bearable. I have a "public" dancing sin I always dance on my way home after ballet classes. I can't help it! Thank God not that many people are in the streets at 10pm.

Sharon Simpson Thumann Posted April 12, 2013 Author Share Posted April 12, 2013 Today so far has been a mix of Assemblage23 and P!nk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Strathdee Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Sharon - Primarily because I never would have pegged you for a Pitbull kinda girl No, I'm just really fascinated by people's choices in music (across the board, not just you ladies). It's one of my strange fascinations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharon Simpson Thumann Posted April 12, 2013 Author Share Posted April 12, 2013 Well... Pitbull kinda makes my toes tingle. I've always been interested in what other people listen to and it always delights me when I find someone who likes the same music I do, especially when it's not the "norm". My musical interests are varied and wide.. in case no one has noticed, I will give any music/artist a fair shot and I probably have at least one or two songs from every genre that I can't live without.
