Hi! My name is Belkys Castaneda. I am from Colombia where Zumba is originally from born and was raised in Bogota/Miami. My passion for Zumba began eight years ago in Miami when I was first introduced to this type of workout and fell in love with it. Ever since my love for Zumba grew so much I became a licensed Zumba instructor. I teach my classes the way I want to taught in a Zumba class. Zumba means move fast and have fun. What to look for in my Zumba class? To burn anywhere between 500-1,000 calories in an hour. At its core, Zumba is a cardio workout which burns calories and improves cardio vascular fitness.
It improves balance, flexibility, tone and posture. The sweating, dancing and occasionally shouting involved in Zumba will release stress and tension in your body. I dedicate my energy, motivate and encourage all my students. I laugh with them, smile with them, push them a little and never give up on them. Most of all, I care about their health.
