Silvia Cuellar

I've been dancing since I was 6 years old.  I studied Ballet for 8 years, and Jazz and Contemporary dance for 16 years. I performed at several shows and events. I also like all kind of sports, and all my life I've been an athlete as well. When I was a teenager I belonged to a gymnastics and a swim teams.  I played Volleyball for many years and I also play tennis. Along with the dance & sports, I've been always into fitness and I took all kind of aerobics classes: step, pilates, kickboxing, yoga, etc. Currently my passion is for Zumba, and all the different modalities.  I'm originally from Mexico, and with Zumba Fitness, I found myself closer to my hispanic heritage and music. Zumba being a dance-fitness program that blends Latin-inspired music and international rythms, is the perfect combination for a great workout!  I'm an AFAA certified instructor, and a Yoga certified instructor as well, but I'm not currently teaching Yoga.   I enjoy the Group Exercise teaching, because there is so much energy from the people that is so rewarding for me. I've been teaching Zumba since 2007, and Aqua Zumba & Zumba Toning since 2009.
