Here we are at the end of the year already. This is a fun time to spend with family and friends, and all those parties. But sooner or later, all that fun and holiday food catches up with us and then … it’s Zumba® time. Let me help you get back in shape and take those extra pounds back off.

For those of you who are newcomers, Zumba® Fitness is a Latin-inspired dance fitness program tailored to our age group that incorporates international music and dance movements creating an exciting, exhilarating and effective fitness program. We work all parts of the body and burn lots of calories.

Introducing Zumba® Sentao.

On Wednesday, January 3, I will be introducing a new Zumba® class at OptumCare, Zumba® Sentao. This program is modified for the use of a chair as a partner. It includes cardio, toning and balance, but with the same infused party atmosphere as my other Zumba® classes.

Come join my Zumba® crew. You will have loads of fun and meet some great friends. We will do routines to music such as the Salsa, Merengue, Cumbia and Samba, along with some of our familiar favorites from the ‘60s, ‘70s and more. You can start out slow and work into the routines. There is no pressure to keep up; you know your own limits.

Here is my December schedule:
