Dinah Aldrich

  I currently reside in Maine with my husband and four children, who range in age from 31 to 13. (not including the husband... ) I started dance instruction at 3, and have been teaching several forms of dance - ballet, tap, contemporary, jazz, hip hop - ever since.  After attending college, I taught Kindergarten for 25 years, always maintaining my dance instruction on the side.

  I became interested in teaching fitness after a very brief stint as a New England Patriots football cheerleader. I started with aerobics and moved through the various discipline - jazzercise, step, interval - as they evolved.  I retired from teaching fater 25 years and returned to my roots as a dance professionl. This co-incided with the advent of Zumba, and the rest, as they say, is history.

  I now teach 10- 12 classes per week in several of the Zumba formats. My family owns a camp on Maine's largest lake, and we love to windsurf, waterski, and tube during the summer.  I like to travel when I get the chance, especially to climates warmer than my own!
