I have been a "performer" most of my life. I started taking dance at the age of 5, and never looked back. I thought I was going to be a "prima ballerina" At the age of 16, I was told I was not tall enough. My dreams were not over though, I began developing my love of singing as well, involved in many show choirs and then when I graduated high school I auditioned for Six Flags Elitch Gardens and starred in a show. After attending college for a year, I was offered a position in Lasize, Italy as a hostess and entertainment coordinator. I lived in Italy for one year and had many amazing experiences. After traveling back to the United States, I finished college, and began my career as "mom" I am happily married with 5 wonderful children. My love of dance, performing and fitness never left. In the late 90's, I was teaching Step-Aerobics for the Highlands Ranch Recreation District. After we moved to a different area of town, and having a few more babies, I decided I needed to find something totally passionate for me. In December of 2009 during a visit to Jackson Hole, Wyoming, my mom introduced me to ZUMBA! It was love at first "move!" Her instructor helped me find areas in Denver that were offering Zumba. I came back from our vacation and immediately started taking classes. 2months later I became certified in Zumba basic, and 2 months after that I became certified in Zumba toning. Zumba is inside me, heart, body and soul. I love that Zumba can touch anyone, no matter, what part of the world they live in, their size, their age, it is "Fitness in Disguise."
