Zumba Lovers of Solivita
What is ZUMBA?
Created by Miami-based choreographer Alberto “Beto” Perez, Zumba began as an exciting fusion of aerobics and Latin salsa dancing. Over time, the program has expanded to incorporate a variety of dance styles in its routines, including cumbia, merengue, reggaeton, mambo, rumba, bachata, flamenco, African, hip hop, rock & roll and Middle Eastern dance techniques. Classes are designed so that the students can easily master the choreography. The philosophy is that students will get the best workout by being swept away by the exotic rhythms and the thrill of moving like a dancer. The slogan for Zumba says it all—Ditch the workout and join the party!
The hour-long Zumba classes follow the principles of interval training to maximize caloric output. In practice, this means that your heart rate accelerates during a fast-paced salsa routine, then recovers during a slower, more stylized flamenco number, then increases again during a gyrating African dance, and so on. Toning exercises are also included in a typical Zumba class, although with a dance-inspired twist.
ZUMBA GOLD is a less intense version of Zumba for older or deconditioned individuals.

My Students motivate and inspire me everytime! and I enjoy making new friends! When you combine music + dance it brings out the fire in me! I am known for my endless energy and unique teaching skills. I take pride in making even the simplest moves look dynamic! Just move your body and follow my lead. It's that easy! I guarantee you will have a blast! I enjoy hosting Zumba parties especially if it is for charity events, as I believe in giving back to our community and fighting for a good cause. I have been serving in the U.S. Army National Guard for over 10 years. It takes alot of work to stay fit and strong, but who says you have to do it alone? I am that extra push you need. It's what I live for! I enjoy motivating and inspiring others into achieving their finess goals. On my free time, I enjoy watching movies cuddled up with my husband and three fury kids, Boss, Bailey and Roxie. Enough of me; I am eager to share the dance floor with you! So, lets vibe together!
