Thank you ladies! 
I have been teaching for about 2 months now but not the entire class. I bascially get them through the warm up, stretch and two combinations (about 25 - 30 minutes) and then the other instructor takes over. I felt confident enough to do more but the instructor wanted her class back (and I don't blame her!)! The class thatI taught enjoyed much more basic moves than we are used to from Cathe but I offered a few of the more difficult moves as options.
My new class isn't on the schedule yet but I hope it will be within the next two weeks. They need to approve my hiring packet (make sure that I have no crminal convictions - ha ha ha!) and get me an employee number. In the interim, I am going to call the director in the next two days and talk to her about days and times for the class. I will need to start it at a more basic level but then I can take it up a notch as they grow to enjoy the class. I guess when they first opened that location, they had step but the members complained that it was too complicated and the interest wasn't there. They decided to take it off of the schedule.
..she also roped me into atttending a workshop for and teaching Powerflex (a class something along the lines of Power Hour). They always neeed subs for that and a few classes are about to open up. The workshop is in a month and she said that she thinks that I'd be great at it. But after that, I think I am done for different types of classes! After all, I still have my full time job!
