Donna started dancing at the age of 7 in her home city of Regina, Saskatchewan. She began training in classical ballet at the Conservatory for the Performing Arts, University of Regina.
Although Donna had grown up studying ballet and jazz, and even taught dance to children, it had been over a couple of decades since she had found herself in any type of a dance class and never had it been this much fun!
She fell in love with the captivating mix of the Latin and pop music, or maybe it was the super positive energy of the instructor and supportive class atmosphere of those ZUMBA® classes, where all participants were constantly assured that just as long as they were moving and having a good time, they were doing great. Donna went to every ZUMBA® class every chance she could get. The hour-long classes flew by and as she left felting invigorated both physically and mentally.
It is hard to believe that ZUMBA® was a word foreign to Donna in 1998. It was like a match made in heaven and Donna got certified to be a ZUMBA® instructor in 2009. Fuelled by her energy and love for ZUMBA®, Donna will have you jumping, smiling and rocking it out. So, what are you waiting for? Come Join the Party!
