This legitimately made me laugh out loud and want to find my own class to sign up for. You are a wonder!

"McKayla doesn't understand that we can't do jumping jacks" spoke to my soul. 😂 Thank you.

Shannon, this is one of your best. "...dammit McKayla we said no jumping" is currently my favorite line of writing ever. Thank you for your honesty and humor. I can't wait for the next one. :)

Relatable!! And now I know why dancing (even if it’s done poorly!) always makes me feel better. This had me laughing.

This is so good, so real, so conversational, so funny. I love it! So many catch my heart sentences and phrases. Shannon, you are one of the most relatable writers I have come across in years.

This is great! Thank you for showing us how good it is to laugh at ourselves and do things for fun that make us feel good.

Zumba is my adult dance class (no jumping!), but I invested like an adult in a grown up stereo system…so that I can feel the bass in my body. I dance when I’m cooking and cleaning the kitchen, and have blasted out speakers in my cars.

Have you watched any dancing movies? Feel the Beat is a fairly hilarious one.
