My name is Ratanya Wiker, I am an Elementary School Teacher, and a part time Zumba Instructor. The thing that makes me the most unique is that my love for being a true teacher allows me to be a great Zumba Instructor. I have a positive attitude and enjoy what I do. In 2010, my mother underwent knee surgery, to no fault of her own she lots her leg when a artery was severed. I began to notice that I was in the beginning stages of what my mother had been experiencing for most of her adult life. A visit to the orthopedic doctor results in the doctor explaining that I too was headed for knee surgery. One day a friend suggested we attend this new class called "Zumba". I instantly became hooked and almost immediately pursued a certificate. Amazingly, I have been able to avoid knee surgery, strengthened my knee, and lost over 80lbs! I have assisted many other in their weight-loss journey. I teach 5 days a week and thoroughly enjoy what I do. Zumba isn't work it is a party with healthy benefits. I continue to strive to obtain more certifications I am now certified in Zumba, Zumba Toning, Aqua Zumba, Zumba Step, and Zumba Kids & Kids Jr. These certifications are in addition to my MixxedFit and R.I.P.P.E.D Fit certifications. Choosing a candidate like me will result in a happy group of people. More importantly choosing a candidate like me that has years of experience with children combined with Zumba would make for an amazing time for your young travelers. I understand that your priority is your customers and I am committed to making sure they have and you are satisfied.
