ZUMBA I discovered Zumba by chance while exercising at the Y in NJ, many years ago. I fell in love instantly because it combined music and workout. I joined a class and decided to become an instructor. I always make my students comfortable by telling them it is not a contest, it is not a matter of perfection. It is about having fun, joining a fun community, feeling good after a class and breaking out into dances everywhere. Let's dance!

It is about having fun, joining a fun community, feeling good after a class and breaking out into dances everywhere. Let's dance!
