Zumba is my passion! I stumbled into a class by accident in
August of 2006. I had never really participated in group x classes.
In my exercise routine I stuck to the treadmill, the bike, and the
elliptical. What was I thinking? I can't imagine ever doing that
again!
I just happened to see my neighbor in the Zumba class and she
was looking fantastic! I went in to say hello and was talked into
staying. The class was amazing, the music, the energy, & the hour
flew by so quick! I was hooked! I never stepped foot on a
treadmill, bike or elliptical again.
Soon the pounds were coming off, my sizes were going down,
and I was feeling great, my energy was so high. I had never seen
results like this before. I am currently down 40 pounds with a
combo of Zumba and making healthy choices!
In February 2007 I took the Zumba Workshop training and began
teaching 1 week later. I taught at Hilltop Gym for 1 year before it
closed it's doors in Feb.2008.
In June 2007 I launched the first ever Zumba classes at California
Family Fitness in Elk Grove. The format was new to this gym and it
took off quickly! Soon more instructors were being added as
classes grew. Zumba trainings were going on at other CFF's to get
all 15 of their gyms added with Zumba classes. The Elk Grove gym
has amazing participants and their passion for Zumba is huge. My
classes at the gym are always full and loads of fun!!
In April 2008 I also launched the first Zumba classes at Gold's Gym
in Elk Grove as well. The members were also Zumba-holics and the
classes were always a blast. I recently gave up this class in Feb.
2009 and miss these students. The decision was not easy as we all
become a big Zumba Family. But, with my classes going very well
at my studio, I needed to cut some classes and make weekends
family time.
So, this past September I began offering classes at Makamae
Studio of Dance. These classes are offered at a $5 drop in rate
(yep, only $5!!) or punch cards are offered, 10 classes for $45. I
have grown exponentially at the studio and have found that word
of mouth advertising is the greatest. I thank all of you who have
supported me and spread the word about my studio classes. It is
because of you that I can make these classes happen!!
Since my initial Zumba workshop training in 2007 I have been to 5
more Zumba trainings/certifications over the past 2 years of
teaching. These trainings include Zumba Gold, Zumba Basic 2 and
Zumba Toning. I have been having a great time these past 2
years. I love the energy my classes bring to me and the feeling I
get teaching is just amazing. I feel connected to each of my
participants and look forward to each class I teach. I can't imagine
my life without Zumba! Be sure to check my current class
schedule. I hope to see you shimmying at a class soon!

I received these special drawings
from a class participant. The one
on the left for a unexpected
birthday gift. They are complete
with the Zumba cargo pants and
an orange tank with logo and my
purple Nike shox. The one on the
right contains more of my facial
characteristics and looks more like
me. She did the one on the left
first and then after having a
picture of me to go from drew
the second one. What a great
Gift, I love them!
