Anastasia Otto

Hello! My name is Anastasia, and I am a licensed Zumba Fitness^®. Instructor since April 2018. I currently teach at the University of Akron Rec Center and have been doing so since August of 2018. My interests in dance, music, and fitness have lead me to discover Zumba. After being inspired by my instructor of 3 years and his ability to combine fun and energetic atmosphere with great choreography, wanting to do that same for my own classes.

I enjoy teaching Zumba because of the opportunity it gives me to share 45 minute - an hour of a persons' time in becoming fit, dancing and having fun. Many students have told me that my classes are a relief from stressful happenings or even something they look forward to all day. I look forward in trying new songs with my classes or even allowing attendees to choose their favorite songs from previous routines, engaging the class as a community environment whenever I have the chance. My selection in music is bound to have you dancing right along.

As I teach classes the Rec, I am in progress of my Bachelors in Marketing Management at the UXniversity of Akron. In addition to teaching Zumba part time, I also am a Radio Host. My passion for communicating and entertaining has lead me to become a part of two local radio stations, WZIP 88.1 FM in Akron and Mix 94.1 in Canton, where I tell stories or promote the station in on-air broadcasts. 

In my spare time, I enjoy DJing, traveling to new places and spending my time dancing!  

I hope to combine both an amazing trip with the experience of teaching Zumba classes international by becoming part of Fitness Pro Travel.
