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!

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.
