About Us
In the spring of 2007, Amy stumbled upon ZUMBA while reading about it in a fitness magazine. After considerable research, she attended a ZUMBA training in Portland and became a certified ZUMBA instructor. It was then and there that her love of dance and strong fitness background collided. ZUMBA makes her feel happy --- and sweaty! "The Latin music is infectious, motivating, invigorating," says Amy. "It's fast and upbeat, and who doesn’t like to dance? This class brings it on – it gets your motor running!" The workouts fly by (which can be unusual during certain classes) and her body loves the results. Her hips and abs are more toned now than they have been in years.
The original ZUMBA, which Amy refers to as a dance fitness class, starts with a warm-up of 10 minutes or so, cranks up to higher intensity that continues for about 40 minutes, and ends with a cool-down lasting 5 to 10 minutes. Once you're familiar with the moves, you can throw yourself into them with abandon. If you run out of steam, it's easy to scale back your level of exertion.
Zumba requires no special workout gear. Class participants wear the usual gym ensembles - shorts, sweats, leggings, or loose-fit pants or capris, for example, with T-shirt or tank top, and a good cross-training shoe. And take a bottle of water with you. You'll need it.
Come prepared to have fun --- you can cancel your therapy session for the week if you’re planning to attend a ZUMBA with Amy class…you won’t need it. You’ll be able to dance your worries away and leave with happy thoughts. Soon, your body won’t know what hit it --- you will change shape, lose inches (and pounds), and feel invigorated mind, body and soul! Isn’t that what working out is supposed to be?
In addition to teaching classes Amy is available for a variety of fun Zumba services like:
Corporate Classes, Team Building events, Festivals, Parties, Club appearances, Choreography, Private lessons, Kid's Zumba, and more...
Amy is always happy to give back to the community and volunteer her time for charity events and other non-profit organizations.
