I am from Poland, I moved to the United States in 1997. As a young adult I was a member of a dance club, dancing ballroom dancing. I picked up Zumba as an activity in my early 40, fell in love with the fitness program. I enjoyed the music and challenge to keep up with the instructor. Soon enough I could get lost in the music and achieve the state of true relaxation. I excelled in the program quite fast and decided to get a Zumba certification myself. I am proud to say that using Zumba formula I choreographed my entire class by myself and started teaching 3 months after my training. I trully believe in the program, because it encourages the inactive adults to start exercising in a very relaxed and fun ambience. The program helps to create a sense of community and is very benefical for people at different fitness levels.
