Michaela Rother

I've always danced.
I started dancing ballet when I was 8 years old.
Then I moved on to hip hop at the age of 10 and quickly found Zumba in addition at the age of 13.
After leaving school, I took part in several workshops run by internationally recognised dancers and choreographers in the field of hip hop, including the urban dance camp, and also Millennium dance complex in Los Angeles.
At 16 I found my second sporting passion, fitness and the gym.

Teaching Zumba to combine the two aspects not only made sense to me, but also helped me a lot personally.
I have been working in the German fitness chain ‘Fitstar’ for about a year now and have also had my own class since then.

Zumba is not only a great way for me to switch off and relax, but also to motivate and inspire people. To get them out of their everyday lives and into a Caribbean / South American environment for a Zumba class, where you can just follow the beat and the movements.

Zumba is a very good balance for me to learning and working at my desk.

I'm currently still studying law at Ludwig Maximilian University and am waiting for the results of my bar exams. Accordingly, I have gained a lot of internships and work experience in law firms such as eversheds sutherland, Noerr and also as a student assistant at the university at the International Institute.

I also did internships at ‘constatin Fime’, a German film production company and at Europe's largest cultural centre ‘Gasteig’ to combine my interests in dancing and law.
In order to improve my presentation skills, I also worked as a hostess in Munich in addition to attending rhetoric seminars.

Due to my passion for international law, I find other cultures and languages very exciting.
Accordingly, in addition to my native German, I speak English and French and am currently improving my Russian and learning Arabic.
