Ever heard.... "Zumba isn't for me!"????

I have heard people say that Zumba isn't for them. I have heard people say "No, I don't want people watching me dance, I would just want to stay in the back." I have heard "I don't like having mirrors in the class." I have even heard "Guys can't do Zumba, it is just for girls." To all of these I say... "HA!" You don't have to be a good dancer (or even coordinated), or worry that people are watching you (they are all watching the instructor), and you don't have to be a girl! My best and favorite student is this guy Jeff.... and he has become one of my best friends! He has gotten so good at Zumba and can pick up choreography SO fast! Anyone can do Zumba! Just keep at it!

My Profile

I am a mom of 4 and I have an amazing husband. I just moved to Middleton from Utah this year. I have had a few people ask me my resume and how I got started in Zumba..... so here is my story.

I have struggled with having children on and off again for 6 years. Through many miscarriages, fertility drugs and the death of my 3rd child I found myself depressed a lot. As I have struggled getting pregnant again I just needed something else that would bring joy back into my life. Then I found Zumba. It started for me as a social event. I was going with a group of friends. Not only did I find friendship there, (and get a great workout), I also found myself. I found myself singing and dancing all the time and it gave me something to look forward to each week. Through Zumba I taught myself to let go and dance my troubles away! I became an instructor in hopes of making a difference for others as well. To bring smiles and laughter into other's lives.... just as it did for me!

I started teaching in at the Orem Fitness Center and then added on other jobs. Before we moved I was VERY busy teaching. I taught doubles, and was teaching 5 times a week including American Fork Fitness Center, and Cedar Hills Rec center as well. I then got certified to teach Hip Hop HUSTLE! Which is a lot like Zumba but with all American music and you learn a routine at the end. The hardest part about moving away was saying goodbye to my students! Now I am here in Middleton.... and I am SO excited to get to know all of you so we can work/party together!
