Kelly Knight

Kelly has ALWAYS had a passion for dance. She has trained and performed in many styles of dance including: ballet, jazz, tap, hip-hop, African, modern, and liturgical but something about latin dance captured her heart. Kelly fell in love with latin dance while in graduate school when she trained at The Latin Ballet in Richmond, VA in various forms of latin dance under Founder and Artistic Director Ana Ines King. She was invited to tour with the company in the summer of 2008 to perform "Baile Y Rumba". It was also at The Latin Ballet that she was introduced to the magnficent world of Zumba® in 2006. In the winter of 2008, she finally let the Zumba® fever take over and became a licensed instructor under Zumba® Education Specialist Maria Browning and has been addicted ever since! She has also received training under Jani Roberts, the head of international training for Zumba® and Koh Herlong, the director of education. Kelly is also an active member of the Zumba® Instructor Network. Kelly's Zumba® Testimonial: Since beginning Zumba®, my body has become more toned than ever before, I've lost 15 pounds, and my cholesterol dropped 40 points!
