Catherine Lavedrine

I started Classical Ballet at the age of 3 and did it for a couple of years. Thereafter I did a few years of gymnastics until early teens. Then did Acrobatic Rock'n Roll for a couple of years followed by a few years of Jazz Ballet during my mid twenties. I started teaching Fitness in Geneva Switzerland in the lates 70ies as a hobby in the evenings and weekends. When I moved to Edmonton in 2007 I had to wait until I received my permanent resident card to be able to teach again. As of 2011 I have become a full time Fitness and Zumba instructor. I currently teach 12 classes per week and workout another 10 to 12 hours per week besides outdoor physical activities. For the last 5 years I have been teaching Zumba, Zumba Gold, Zumba Sentao, Step, Tabata, Total Body Blast.

I have also done many other sports during my life, such as running, skying, cross-country ski, swimming, yoga, dancing mountain hiking, and all kinds of water sports (sailing, windsurfing, skuba diving, body surfing) all of which I still enjoy doing during my free time.

I have excellent communication skills, am patient and tactful. I am completely fluent in English, French and Spanish and also speak German and Italian. 

I am consciencious, reliable, dynamic and friendly. 

I have always been passionate with dance, fitness, nutrition, health and wellness.

I thrive being with people, sharing my passion, energy and love for movement with other. Being a fitness and Zumba instructor is the highlight of my life.
