Olena Nakhlupina

Born in Ukraine, Elena was introduced to the world of dance when she was 6 years old. She danced jazz, ballet, contemporary, hip-hop, latin dance etc.

She discovered Zumba® in 2012 when she moved to Switzerland and gradually it became her life. The programme has given her the possibility to transmit her passion for dance and fitness through teaching to others. 

In 2016 she was approved for the position of Choreo Zumba® Jammer and since then she shares her ideas and skills with other ZIN™ members at her ZIN™ Jam Sessions. 

Apart from traditional Zumba® classes she also teaches Zumba® Gold - a lighter version of the workout, suitable for beginners or active older adults who are looking for a modified Zumba^® class that recreates the original moves at a lower-intensity. Since May 2019 Elena also conducts ZIN™ Jam Sessions for Zumba® Gold, teaching her ZG choreographies and giving advice to ZG instructors.

She believes that we are all dancers inside and loves the fact that Zumba® is truly for everyone.
