I was born in Collingdale, Pennsylvania, just outside of Philly. I've danced all of my life with formal dance training as a child and teen. I danced my way through the 70s, 80s and 90s. Then, somehow, dancing wasn't as popular and I would have to go to a gym to exercise just to stay in shape. Not fun for me.

Discovering Zumba has set me free! It's a complete fitness workout disguised as fun. Once I started doing Zumba, I haven't done anymore crunches or sit ups! 

I got so hooked that I decided to become a Zumba Instructor so I could share this experience with everyone I know.

I am now also teaching Aqua Zumba. It's a Zumba pool party!!! I can't believe how much fun it is. It takes Zumba to a whole new level. And wow the calorie burn!
