My name is Jenika Simmons and in 2006 I accidently came across a class called ZUMBA® fitness while working out at the gym. I tried one class, then another, and another, and soon I found myself driving around to different gyms to take ZUMBA® classes. I loved it so much I decided to become certified to teach. In 2007 I completed my first Zumba® certification to teach Zumba® fitness. Since then I have participated in many charitable ZUMBA® events, Master classes, and Zumbathons. I absolutely love teaching Zumba still.
My dance background in Belly Dancing, performing solo dances at parties brings diversity to my Zumba® classes. Also my experience in salsa dancing, event performances, “salsa rueda” Casino style, salsa social dancing that includes merengue, bachata and more keep my class fun and new.
