Karen Tillis

My name is Karen Tillis and I have been a licensed ZUMBA® Instructor for 7 years. I got into the ZUMBA® craze in May 2011 and instantly fell in love. I have danced all of my life, but after having 2 children, I put on a few extra pounds and had gotten out of the dance scene. Enter ZUMBA®! Not only was I having a blast, but I was losing weight as well. More importantly, I gained an infinite amount of "feel good"! I quickly decided that I wanted to share my newly-discovered love of ZUMBA® with as many people as possible. I decided to become an instructor just a few months after taking my first class and have loved every minute of it. Connecting with my students and fellow instructors while doing my small part to make the world a happier place is why I teach ZUMBA®. It doesn't matter whether you have 2 left feet, no rhythm, can't tell the difference between Cumbia and Salsa...if you are into having a blast while you workout, then ZUMBA® is for you! Teaching ZUMBA® is my passion - I love watching my students doing something that makes them feel good and helping them gain self-confidence. ZUMBA® is all about having FUN while you get fit! I will take you on a journey around the world through music and movement. From Argentina to Zimbabwe…Axé to Zouk, I aim to bring different cultures and rhythms to everyone!
