Hola, Bonjour, Hello, and Kia Ora! I'm a Ukrainian Zumba instructor with a passion for fun fitness and health promotion. I was born in Kiev, Ukraine and moved to the United States in 2000. I studied piano and dance at the Kiev Art Center for children and over the past twenty five years, I have continued to pursue my passion for music and dance. While doing so, I studied Accounting and Tax at Baruch College in New York City. After earning my MBA degree, I started working for PricewaterhouseCooper LLP. Even though I love my career as a tax manager and achieved a lot of success in it, I realize that this is not the only career path for me. I was always very actively involved with sport and dance, took many different dance classes in Broadway Dance Center, Alvin Ailey Dance Center and DanceSport School. I learned salsa with such great instructors as Eddie Torres and Maria Torres and actively competed and performed in Salsa Congresses.  I was introduced to Zumba® in October 2009 and immediately fell in love with it. After years of Latin dancing, Zumba was a perfect match for me! It combined dancing and fitness in a fun and innovative way. Zumba has made me happier, healthier and passionate about sharing it with others.  In 2012 I became certified as a Zumba Instructor and started teaching Zumba for a group of adults in Brooklyn. I LOVE LOVE LOVE what I do!!!!! It's FUN, EFFECTIVE and totally EXHILARATING! Let's party ourselves into shape together!
