Maria Santos

Hi,

My name is Maria Santos I was born and raised in Portugal.  I have been latin dancing since i can remember. I have aquired many dance techniques over the years dancing Salsa, Merengue, Bachata, Cumbia, Tango, Lambada and much more. I love teaching Zumba Fitness classes because these classes incorporate all these dance moves into a exciting fun workout which leave me and my clients satisfied and wanting to come back every time. The reason is simplely because every class feels like a party! Zumba is a Latin-inspired dance-fitness class. Come join me and you'll see what I mean. You don't even have to know how to dance. Just move your body and follow my lead. I have put together many songs with my own choreeography. It's easy! Come and See...

I have enjoyed participating in various fitness classes and trends for over 20 years. I took in my first ZUMBA®  Fitness class in 2003 and I was instantly hooked. 

The Latin influence and international zest makes every class feel like a party! Like most ZUMBA®  instructors and class participants, I have had no formal dance training. 

I strive to make my classes fun and exciting! I appreciate the opportunity to introduce people of all ages and abilities to a great fitness program they can look forward to, ultimately improving their health, well being and quality of life.

I am thrilled to be teaching ZUMBA® Fitness classes at Retro, Curves and Metro in the Ocean County Area. I also am subbing at Gold Gym and Super Gym. I am sincerely committed to improving my skills as an instructor by continuing training and education to create the best experience possible for all her class participants.

I am currently licensed to teach ZUMBA® Basic Levels 1 , Aqua ZUMBA® and Zumba Sentao®. Let  me know if you are interested in participating in any ZUMBA® specialty class. I am a member of the Zumba Instructor Network and I am basic CPR/AED certified by the Red Cross.
