Zumba Fitness literally saved my life!  In 2008, I was overweight and pre-diabetic.  My doctor advised that I make changes in my lifestyle or die an early age, which is when I attended my first Zumba fitness class that August.  I was hooked after the first song!   I have lost a total of 80 pounds as a Zumba student over a 2 year period of time.  I enjoyed the Zumba experience so much that I decided in 2010 to become an instructor so my local gym would not cancel classes if the instructor on staff was absent.  I soon realized that I wanted to provide Zumba classes independent from a gym due to the fact that so many people could participate in a Zumba class unless he/she owned a gym membership.  I started "Just Dance Fitness" on December 10th, 2010 and continue to offer classes to students in my community.
