Anne Haggerson

I was born and raised in the Iowa countryside and developed an interest in dance from a young age.  I studied tap, jazz, and ballet as a young girl.  Then, in college, I went on to learn capoeira, an Afro-Brazilian martial art. I have trained capoeira with Master teachers in New York, Seattle, and Brazil.   In addition, I have lived in Brazil for over five years and have spent a tramendous amount of time learning the acrobatics and dancing samba.  To balance out my body, I began doing functional fitness and became a Certified Natural Trainer at the Monkey Bar Gym in Madison, Wisconsin.  I also enjoy training jiujitsu in my free time.  More recently, I became a Zumba Instructor and am looking forward creating my own style that integrates many of the dances I learned in Brazil into my choreography and teaching style.  I am a friendly person with a caring personality and greatly enjoy travel, health, wellness, and helping others reach their goals.
