 Mix and Match Pony Joy! Who do I feel like today?

  .. Don't get me started!! ..

Plenty of people do not post outside of their own countries for this very reason; it's much harder to keep a seller accountable when the transaction is leaving the home-side postal services network. Plus, the extra wait time can be very nerve-wracking. I will personally only ship to certain countries based upon my own postal experiences over the years.

  No one is going to think less of you for not wanting to do business over the big pond!
 

Hopefully the New Feedback Guide will help everypony navigate the new feedback system. We are, in fact, having to go through each and every new feedback by hand ATT, even for older members. We are definitely working on solving the issue, but in the meantime please know that the "error" is just script language for "Thank You, that's all!" and that we should have it worded in a better, less confusing, way soon!

  Thanks ponies for letting us know where the issues are as we settle in the new place!!

  Who has time to go to the gym? And even if you do, who wants to get into workout gear and go sweat in public for an hour?!! Oh, you've tried the videos and yeah, the dances were kinda fun, but come on; those are NOT real people! They are humanoids made of metal!! LOL Can real people actually move like that?! Wouldn't it be great if there was legitimate online version of Zumba Fitness, someone out there who could teach you to have fun while not hurting yourself trying to get healthy?

  I am a licensed Zumba Fitness Instructor and a certified member of the "Zumba Instructor Network" (or ZIN for short) but I'm not currently teaching any classes. Due to vehicle "restraints" I'm currently stranded at home making it impossible to teach at a locale for the time being...

But!

  What I really want to do is teach Zumba online! I've got the space, the video equipment, I just need some lights and curtains and maybe a sound guy (luckily for me I have a couple of those available, too! ) It probably wouldn't cost me more than a couple hundred dollars to be ready to teach an online class. I just need the inspiration to make it finally happen!!

  As much as I wanted to try and arrange free classes, I can find no free services that are not open to the public, (such as Youtube) and providing public classes are against ZIN agreements.   I've decided to try "GotoMeetings" for my host- they offer a reasonable service for a class of 15 and it looks like if I charge about $2 per person for a class that size I can make enough to pay for expenses, have enough left to cover my monthly instructor dues and a couple of ponies every month. At three classes per weel that would be $24 a month for 12 classes. And since Goto offers the first month free I should be able to offer my first month for half price! In order to claim one of the 15 'slots' as yours I would request that months payment (non-refundable, unless I am unavailable for class; not likely) be made in advance, due at the first of every month. Of course, "walk-ins" (hee hee) would be welcome at any time when there is room! 

  I was thinking I would start with three to five classes a week and offer at least three beginners classes and maybe a couple of intermediate depending on interest. The dance routine would be pre-recorded and uploaded to goto enabling me to be available to chat for all students during our class hour for any questions, problems, or anything else needed. This also provides the student the opportunity to pause the dance for a drink of water, a bathroom break, to ask a question, ect.

  Classes would last one hour, with approximately 45 minutes of dance uploaded, Including both a warm-up and a cool down, per class. Routines would most likely change on a monthly basis and of course different routines could possibly become available for Intermediate and Advanced classes should there be enough interest.

  So! IS there any interest??!! I'd love to make this happen, but I need students to try it out and see if it can actually work as well as I think it can. Either way, whether you want to party with me Latin style or not, I appreciate you taking the time to read this!

Cheers!
Cherry

Thanks so much, ponies! The original plan was to tease the yarn to give it a more PP look, but after trying out "the Poof" on just a couple of strands I discovered it would take hours upon hours to do.   At which point the braids started setting in, pacifying me so I let the issue go. I'm glad that she still looks soft!

 That baffles me that it would take hours to do that; I've just been grabbing a mlp hair brush and going to town on brushing the snot out of my yarn-hair customs to completely puff the hair, and it takes me less than 15 minutes.

  Yeah, normal spun yarn doesn't take me near as long, but this stuff was.... I guess, weaved together in a knot-type, tight weave, in intervals that made separating the individual threads nearly impossible. I love the yarn and it made nice hair, but not good perfume puff hair!
