Annette G Maysonet

A Lower East Side native, I have been dancing since I was 5 years old.  Studied dance at the School for the Performing Arts and with the National Dance Institute under the direction of the legendary Jacques d’Amboise. Although my specialty is Latin (Flamenco, Salsa, Cha-Cha, Zumba etc.), I have quickly mastered many different styles of dance from tap and ballet to street jazz and hip-hop. 

Currently working alongside Mitchell Wayne, I have two fitness videos under my belt via Crunch Fitness NYC.  The CrunchLive projects are my most proud of works currently named:  "Aerobics With Attitude" and "Laugh Your Ass Off."

I believe everyone should be able to express themselves with dance and dance like no one is watching.  I get my classes going and makes everyone feel like the Stars they are, both inside and out.  Known for dancing my classes in heels to show actual steps and workout steps and how both can be combined so you not only workout but you walk away knowing some actual steps you can use on any dance floor.

I have performed with Yo-Yo Ma and the Silk Road Ensemble and arranged and coordinated a multitude of celebrations for 14 years and still counting.  I can be found teaching Zumba, BollyX and Broadway throughout New York City in addition to organizing kids groups and Dance Flash Mobs.  Having worked with the 2011 Susan G. Komen Flash Mob/Pink Glove Dance, along with many appearances on the Dr. Oz Show and other movies and TV shows I am no stranger to the media. Along with Circus performance which I do on a yearly basis for MACY*S Thanksgiving Day Parade.  My infectious attitude makes you want to keep going and keep coming back to be in class day after day, before you know it class is over and you don't realize where the time went.

You would never know I'm a married mother of two beautiful teens and have all the energy of a young adult thanks to dance.  I believe in living life to the fullest and take advantage of every moment, by reminding us all that we need to just get in there, keep at it and results will follow.
