About me
I'm certified in Zumba, Zumba Toning, Zumba Gold, and Aqua Zumba — but none of that was the plan. In 2018, someone bet me I couldn't keep up in a Zumba class. I haven't stopped dancing since.
I work a nine-to-five like most of my students. After a long day at work, there's nothing better than walking into a room full of people ready to dance. That's what my classes are — group therapy set to salsa, reggaeton, and Brazilian funk.
My playlist is full of great classics, fresh and hot Latin and Asian tracks, and a queer twist from time to time.
What is Zumba?
Zumba is a dance fitness workout set to Latin and world music. Each song uses simple, repeating dance steps from styles like salsa, merengue, reggaeton, and cumbia. No choreography to memorise — the instructor cues everything live.
Why does it work?
Because it doesn't feel like exercise. The music carries you. Fast songs spike your heart rate; slower ones let you recover and groove. In an hour, you'll burn around 500–600 calories at 70–75% of your max heart rate — the sweet spot for fat burning and cardiovascular health.
Zumba has been around for over 20 years. Millions of people dance it every week across 180+ countries. It works for every age, every body, every fitness level.
Meet your new crew
Our Zumba family is growing, and it's such a joy to see. People come for the workout and stay for the friendships — regulars who cheer each other on, newcomers who feel welcome from song one.
The class is so much more than exercise. It's the highlight of the week for a lot of us.

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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
