MUSIC

Maryjo Mattea is a pop/rock songwriter, vocalist, and multi-instrumentalist based in Washington, DC. She is the creative force behind such catchy, pop-sensible earworms as “A New Normal” and “Wind Me Up.” Her sound has garnered numerous comparisons to rock icons like Alanis Morisette, Liz Phair, and Rilo Kiley. From busking to bar gigs to big club shows, she’s graced many stages and continues to enthrall audiences with her melodic songwriting and captivating voice. By way of Florida and Pennsylvania, Mattea has made Washington, DC her home since 2011.

ZUMBA

Hi, I'm MJ and I love Zumba. It's exercise that doesn't feel like exercise. It's easy to follow, so you don't have to have a dance background to be "good" at it and EVERYONE can do it, regardless of age, fitness level, or physical limitations. And if your moves don't match your neighbor's, it doesn't matter; if you're having fun, you're doing it right! I only have two rules in my classes: (1) Take breaks and drink water as frequently as you need, and (2) Smile! Because if you're not having fun, what's the point?!
