MEET THE TEAM:

DAWN M.

~ Country Line Dancing ~

I have been dancing country and non-country line and partner dances on a regular basis since 2006.  I was one of the Founding Members of the Renegade Rhythm Dance Team, a local performance/charity line dance team and served as a member for 4 years.  My dance teacher career began in 2010 as a substitute for a local dance instructor and eventually was hired at several local events and dance studios.  In 2020, I was invited to join the multiple world champion dance team, The Wild Roses, and won two World Dance Championships in 2022.  I also began country partner pro-a, competition in the UCWDC circuit placing multiple times on the podium.  My passion is dancing and I love to share that with others in my weekly classes.  It does not matter what level of dancer attends, it only matters that we get on the floor, get our body moving, have a fun time and always remember, there are no mistakes in dancing, only variations!

CHANA

~ Mat Pilates ~  

Hi, my name is Chana Jacobs, and I am a certified mat pilates instructor from Boca Raton, FL. My goal is to be more than just an instructor, but to be a teacher, as well. I want everyone who walks into my class to execute the moves with proper form and to know exactly why they’re doing each specific move. I want each individual to feel empowered throughout their practice and to come back each class feeling stronger:)

KAYLEIGH

~ Mat Pilates & Body Sculpting ~

Hi I'm Kayleigh! My passion for coaching mindful movement began with instructing high-intensity reformer classes, where I fell in love with creating workouts that inspire confidence from the inside out.

Whether it's Mat Pilates or Body Sculpt, every class is designed with intention to challenge and strengthen. My goal is for you to leave each class feeling stronger, more energized, and proud of what your body can do.

SUSAN  

~Iyengar Yoga, Pilates, Chair Yoga, Meditation Instructor & Movement Therapy Coach~

A certified yoga instructor offering therapeutic and rehabilitative instructions to a variety of populations from pre-natal to seniors.

I have been studying and teaching for over 20 years and share my passion for communicating the teachings of an ancient tradition and the importance of its presence in modern times.

In today's world the word "Yoga" often brings to mind a series of acrobatic endeavors.  But as a beautiful painting is created from a series of intricate brush strokes, a beautiful yoga pose appears from a precise set of movements that are fueled with breath.

Using awareness and alignment techniques, students who participate in my classes learn movements which not only build the yoga postures, but can be used to enhance performance regardless of the activity.  When the body moves in an awakened state we can alleviate and prevent structural, physiological, and emotional limitations, and promote balance, stability, flexibility and strength.

A disciplined body creates a quiet mind.  When we have balanced all of the extremes, we have created union; we have created yoga.

MIRIAM 

~Certified AFAA group fitness, 

Zumba Fitness, Strong by Zumba, Zumba toning, Zumba Gold, Aqua Zumba, 

Zumbatomic, Zumba Sentao~

Originally from Mexico City, I came to the United States with my family in 2000 

after having been an Aerobic instructor for 5 years. That same year I met Beto 

Perez and I discovered my passion for Zumba, a passion that had a huge impact 

in my life.

I began teaching Latin impact classes at Coral Spring LA Fitness before Zumba 

was recognized in the area. Because I knew I could make a much bigger impact 

I introduced a Zumba style class to the gym; before long, the class became the 

most attended class at the gym.

I can happily say, that teaching Zumba gives me the opportunity to meet a lot of 

people; it makes me happy to help them achieve their fitness goals by working 

out in a fun way that makes them happy as well. My students are like my family 

and I love to share Zumba with them throughout the week.

I have over 27 years of experience as a certified AFAA instructor and 25 as a 

Zumba instructor. Zumba gives you a full hour of workout, having fun all the 

time, is like being in a party and burning a lot of calories.

I have had the pleasure of teaching Zumba in multiple developments, country 

clubs and gyms in the area.
