Bridgette Wickard

Hello, my name is Bridgette and I am a Zumba Fitness instructor in Pennsylvania, USA. I have been teaching for 1.5 years and absolutely love it. My passion for Zumba began 2 1/2 years ago when I attended at Zumbathon for a local charity. Never having been to a Zumba class or really knowing what I was getting myself into, I went anyways. It was 2 hours of a fun dance workout. I immediately seeked out some local classes and began attending regularly. Who knew that dancing could shed weight? In a matter of a year I had lost 20 pounds which is why my slogan is, "party the pounds away." It was then that I knew I wanted to share my love and passion of Zumba with others. Being able to share my personal experience of having "two left feet" while attending my first ever Zumba class (Zumbathon) and never thinking twice about it has helped many of the students in my class gain more confidence with each class. Afterall, we should all dance as if no one is watching.
