I started taking ballet, jazz and contemporary dance lessons at a very young age. Even though i pursued my studies in another field, teaching dance is something that i always wanted to do and, therefore, decided to become a Zumba Instructor.

I  received training in the following specialties: Zumba Basic, Zumba Toning, Zumba Core, Aqua Zumba and Zumba Kids and Zumba Kids Junior (www.zumba.com). 

I also took certification programmes on Pilates, Weight Management, Healthy Eating and Sports Nutrition by Expert Rating (www.expertrating.com).

My latest group fitness certification is on Port de Bras, which incorporates elements from classical dance (ballet), pilates, strengthening and stretching.

I have been teaching Zumba classes since 2011 and this is something i love even more every single day. My students are addicted to the fun rhythms and absolutely crazy choreographies, whether these are on land or in water, with or without toning sticks.
