Hi, I'm Bianca and I'm a licensed Zumba Fitness instructor and CPD certified Personal Trainer/Fitness Instructor based in and around Gibraltar. I am qualified to teach Zumba Kids, Zumba Kids Jnr and Zumba in the Circuit too.
Born in Gibraltar where there is a big music and dance culture, I was introduced to ballet classes at the young age of 3. Whilst growing up I moved on to try several other dance styles from Contemporary to Jazz to Lyrical to Flamenco, Belly Dancing and Sevillanas and this became a part of my every day life.
At the age of 18 I was teaching 5-9 year olds Contemporary dance as well as choreographing my own pieces. It was that year when I won ‘Best Dancer of the Year’ at a local show. However, shortly after that I left Gibraltar for 4 years to undertake a Business Studies and Psychology degree.
I started missing dance and got back into it whilst on a trip in Cuba where I took up Salsa, Rumba, Merengue and Bachata classes from a local Cuban dancer. Upon returning to Gibraltar I took up Latin dancing and felt that I was in my element.
It was in the summer of 2014 when I attended an Aqua Zumba class that I was inspired and felt the urge of being a part of the instructor world again. In October 2014 I qualified as a Zumba Fitness instructor and more recently a Fitness Instructor. My passion for Zumba Fitness is still as alive as it was the first day I was qualified! I love those latin rhythms and beats.
With a passion for music, it just felt natural for me to start giving Zumba Fitness and other music-led classes.
Zumba Fitness incorporates both dance and fitness together creating a class with a party atmosphere - this is something I am always up for! A Zumba class is so much fun that you do not realise that you are actually working out.
I have also undertaken specialist world rhythms courses of Zumba India and Zumba Africa and done a Zumba Core course too to work on abdominals.
