After Zumba class I approached the teacher. And I told her I loved her class but asked if she could turn the music down!
"Can you turn the music down?" That is the nerdiest thing I ever said.
On the other hand, let me think for a moment. There is one other thing that comes close. Well, there are probably a lot of things that come close, most of them Leonard Pennario-related. But the one that comes to mind is once my friend Michelle was picking me up for a road trip. There is blond Michelle and brunette Michelle and both of them are beautiful. This is blond Michelle.
Blond Michelle picked me up and here is what I said.
"Oh, I am looking forward to this long drive. Look what I've got. I've got the new Andras Schiff CD."
I am afraid that tops the Zumba story now that I think about it. You should have seen Michelle's face. She wordlessly turned up the Amy Winehouse. Amy Winehouse was new then. This was before she died. She was singing, "They wanted me to go to rehab and I said no, no, no!"
Hahahahahaa!
I am the one who should go to rehab!! So they can turn me into a normal human being.
I was honestly excited about the new Andras Schiff ...
... CD! That was before I met Leonard Pennario. Pennario would have laughed me off the block about that one. We had a running joke about Andras Schiff because Schiff was so nerdy.
But to get back to my story, mission accomplished. The Zumba teacher could not have been nicer and she said she would turn down the music! Which, I have to say, I am used to loud music and I usually wear some kind of earplugs. But this was just too loud.
I am so glad she was so nice. Not only that but she caught up with me later in the locker room and we had a conversation. Not about Andras Schiff but about genteel things all the same.
Zumba teachers rock.
They are the greatest!
