My name is Rebecca Johnson and I have been certified by Zumba for 7 years. I am a part of ZIN also. I am certified in Zumba Basic I, Zumba Step, Zumba Gold, and Zumba kids/kids Jr. I am wanting to get certified in Aqua Zumba next. I have been dancing since a little girl and get my passion for dancing from my mom. I grew up dancing in the church. My love for Zumba began when I wanted to work out and lose weight, but I didn’t like going to the gym and using the machine. After I attended my 1st Zumba class, i was hooked. About 2 months later, I finally took that leap and got my certification with April Smiles Smith. Zumba has become a huge passion of mine because I love to make people feel better and see their smiles during and after class. We have so much during class, we forgot we’re actually working out. I have just started traveling international within the past 2 years and while on the resorts sometimes they play the music I use for class and I stop and do a routine or 2. Sometimes, the other people at the resort join in, but it’s mostly my friends that I go with and even then for that short amount of time, it’s such a fun time! When I heard of this opportunity, I knew I had to sign up and become a part of it!
