Hi i would like to share my favorite hobby is zumba when i was in school zumba came to our school. I started liking it. I had been going to zumba classes with my old staff. I loved going to the classes but then I went to New Baltimore to be a Zumba instructor and im certified. I love zumba ! my second one is not a hobby but I like going out to eat. I enjoy swimming. I got into it because of my grandma because she has a built- in pool. I have been swimming my whole my life. I enjoy it. I can do headstands under the water and swim like a mermaid. Thank you for letting me talk about my favorite hobbies and how I got into them !

Thank you!

Peace
