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.

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.
