My personal story..I LOVE ZUMBA®!!

Tanya Beardsley, International Zumba Educational Specialist

I was introduced to ZUMBA® over three years ago at my local dance studio. From the first class, I was hooked. Growing up in New York City with Latin-American parents, I was exposed to many latin rhythms and movement, especially Salsa and Merengue. While attending school, I had opportunities to choreograph for dance and musical productions in junior and high schools.

In my experience, the ZUMBA® fitness program has helped me achieve weight loss and increase my physical endurance. I have lost over 15 pounds with ZUMBA® and I have LOTS of energy!! 


Why did I become a ZUMBA® Instructor?
I was inspired to become a licensed ZUMBA® instructor from a local instructor. The music caught my attention and the moves were so easy to follow, that I had a BLAST dancing the calories away! It was LOVE at first Salsa!!
