Jordan Nixon

 Hello my name is Jordan Nixon. I was born and raised in Baltimore Maryland and I currently work at University of Maryland Baltimore as the Assistant Bursar by day and am a Zumba Instructor by night. I started attending Zumba classes in August 2007 and became addicted! It is the best cardio workout I have ever taken. The best part is I get to do something I love to do (dance) and it counts as a workout! I decided to become an instructor because everyone in my classes encouraged me to get my certification and because of my passion for group fitness and dance. I have over 6 years of experience as a Zumba instructor, instructing diverse Zumba classes in the Baltimore Maryland area. I am certified in Zumba Basic 1 and 2 and currently instruct 3 classes per week at University of Maryland Baltimore’s URecFit and 101 Ellwood Modern Apartments and lofts. I have instructed many Zumbathon charity events through the years and have taught Zumba to the children at George Washington Elementary school for their performance in an Childhood Obesity Summit. Teaching Zumba has given me the opportunity to inspire my students to accomplish their fitness goals through passion and dance and continue to encourage Marylanders to stay active and healthy!
