Claudia Taylor

My name is Claudia Taylor,

I am originally from Colombia, South America. I have lived in Atlanta, Georgia for about 18 years.

I am bilingual, fluent in Spanish as well in English. I enjoy the life surrounded by lots of people. I am honest, sincere, spiritual, hard working, enthusiastic, positive minded, loyal, intelligent, diligent, nurturing, sensitive, and compassionate. I also love animals.

I love travelling, especially to the beach. I enjoy relaxing by the sea while reading or listening to music. I also like to meet and make new friends.

I went to college and graduated with a Marketing and Advertising Degree. I worked for 8 years in a bank as a teller, an assistant manager, and employee in the collection department.

I have been working in the school system for 17 years in a clerical position. I do not have children, but really enjoy working with them in our elementary school. I have learned to be continually amazed at their creativity, honesty, energy, and their spontaneity. I am married to a wonderful man, Steve Taylor, and have been married for almost 18 years. He is a 35 year veteran, retired elementary Physical Education teacher. 

Since I was a teenager, I was always interested in teaching fitness, but in my country, it was a challenge. I went to the gym in Colombia loving to work out, sweat, and get in shape with my friends. When I came to the US, I immediately got in my routine to continue practicing fitness. As I was going to the gym, Zumba became very popular in the US and other countries as well. I really loved Zumba and found that I was very interested in becoming a Zumba Instructor. I was so blessed to become a Zumba Basic 1 Instructor in 2011. I have added a lot to my Zumba Instructor experience in the last 6 years and will outline that in my next section. My goals are to continue with my Zumba endeavors, including new trainings and/or conventions. I want to impact as many adults (both old and young) and children in the future with my Zumba fitness. Thank you.
