Passion, motivation and education are the keys to helping a member achieve the lifestyle that they are capable of reaching. There is nothing as rewarding as watching the transformation of a person when he or she discovers (on their own) what they really can do. What I am a part of the transformation as a positive influence, it is an unbelievable feeling.

Exercise should be fun and uplifting. I want my students to feel good about themselves not just after a class, but during it as well. Zumba allows me to share my love of fitness and dance with a latin flavor that everyone can do. I try to create an atmosphere that is welcoming, energizing and empowering. People should want to work out, not feel like they have to! That's what I strive for in all my classes.

Jeronimo Siqueira Da Silva

"I love to teach my culture. My goal is to pass on the coaching that I have learned, help you enjoy learning and feel good and healthy from practicing it. I look for everyone to enjoy and have fun in Capoeira as much as I do."

Jeronimo (Contra-Mestre Jeromin) began his Capoeira training in 1991 in his hometown of Belo Horzonte, Minas Gerias with Mestre Fumaca (Group Morro de Sao Bento). In 1996 Jeronimo moved to New York City and resumed his training with Mestre Lincoln (Grupo Angola Palmares). In 2000 Jeronimo joined A.S.C.A.B. and received the rank of Contra-Mestre in 2008 from his current Mestre, Mestre Doutor.

As a professional performer, teacher and musician, Contra-Mestre Jeromin strives to create an environment that promotes self-expression and inspires students to reach their full potential while preserving the rich culture of his country.

Leigh Robertson

"I have such a passion for this art, it's history, culture, intellectual and physical benefits and the community it creates. Teaching others to embrace Capoeira, to reap the benefits and to have so much fun doing it is inspiring for me!"

Leigh (Instructora Gata Brava) has been training under the guidance of Mestre Doutor, A.S.C.A.B. Capoeira, since 2000. After receiving her Instructora cord in 2006, she has been a featured guest at Capoeira events throughout the country. She has also been cast in a Rockstar Energy Drink commercial and is now filming as the Capoeira body double for the lead in Disney's 2010 movie "Step Up".

Of course, I always keep in mind safety, effectiveness and fun when teaching my classes, but I get REALLY EXCITED when a student leaves my class feeling a sense of accomplishment or feeling more energetic. I love when a student feels comfortable enough to giggle and act silly! My biggest reward is being able to teach!

Exercising as part of a group is a very powerful motivator and brings a sense of accomplishment thru connectivity. For the past 20 years I have taught Aerobics, Step, Kickboxing, Sculpting, Spinning and Weight Training classes, I'm so grateful to have the opportunity to take part in bringing change to people's fitness level and overall health.
