About me

I am certified in Zumba, Zumba Toning, Zumba Gold, and Aqua Zumba. I've been dancing Zumba since 2018. It started with a silly bet at the gym and ended with a dancing adventure.

When people ask me why I became an instructor, I joke that I wanted to control the playlist, and that's actually true.

Zumba is my passion that I enjoy outside of my nine-to-five job. It is the fun part of my life, but I still make sure to give it my full attention and commitment.

My playlist is full of energetic Latin tunes – salsa, reggaeton, and Brazilian funk. My secret? Great classics and fresh songs with a queer twist from time to time.

What is Zumba?

In Zumba we take dance movements from various styles of Latin music and use them to create a fun, energetic and effective workout.

Zumba is designed to help people burn calories, tone their bodies and have a good time doing it.

Zumba is the best way to stay in shape...

Zumba's dance moves and catchy music are an invitation to a journey to a better and healthier you. It helps improve your heart, build stronger muscles, and make you more flexible.

It doesn't even feel like exercise, which makes it easier to stick with as part of your weekly routine.

As you sway to the captivating beats, you'll find yourself immersed in positivity that melts away stress and anxiety.

...and meet awesome people!

Our Zumba family is growing, and it's such a joy to see! The class is so much more than a good workout - it's the foundation of a warm, welcoming community.

My Zumba vibe

My Zumba class is a blend of high energy, passion and an infectious love of dance.

I find joy in the intensity of fast rhythms like salsa and merengue, and the graceful dynamics of cumbia and bachata.

I've taken these styles and adapted them to suit myself and my students - of all fitness levels and ages.

In my Zumba classes, you'll experience more than just a workout - it's a vibrant party.

FAQ

What is Zumba?

Zumba is a popular fitness workout that combines elements of dance and aerobics. For more than 20 years, millions of people have been improving their fitness by dancing Zumba. The dance routines are based on simple dance steps and basic Latin rhythms – merengue, salsa, cumbia, and reggaeton. During classes, fast and slower songs alternate, which helps the body burn fat.

I'm not in shape lately, can I come to Zumba?

Absolutely! In Zumba classes, it's up to you to decide at what intensity you dance. Regular participation will keep you in shape - you won't feel the strain at all, while having a great time to the rhythm of hot Latin beats.

How do you dance Zumba?

We don't learn choreography step by step. Each song is based on the rhythm and its core moves. We start with basic steps and then modify them for more intensity or styling. The instructor will help you by cueing direction and repetitions. You'll become more confident from class to class.

What songs do you do at Zumba?

My playlist features a lot of salsa, reggaeton, and Brazilian funk, with a pop and queer twist. Songs repeat from class to class with new ones regularly introduced - familiar enough to feel good, fresh enough to stay interesting.

What are the effects of dancing Zumba?

Regular Zumba will improve your physical condition and, combined with a proper diet, help you eliminate unnecessary weight. During a one-hour session, you'll burn about 500–600 kcal at around 70–75% of your maximum heart rate - ideal for fat reduction and sculpting. Come after a hard day at work to reduce stress. It's energetic songs, lots of smiles, and great people.

What shoes should I wear?

Comfortable all-sport fitness shoes - the kind you'd wear for aerobics. Avoid running shoes, which are designed for straight-line movement rather than lateral steps.

How many breaks are there?

In an hour-long class, one or two breaks in the middle. If you need extra rest, take a short water break between songs and jump back in when you're ready.

Can a non-dancer join?

Of course! Zumba routines consist of simple, repetitive steps. It's not about technique - it's about having fun as we move to the music. Every body, every age, every fitness level.
