Dance and music have been a part of my life for over 20 years. As a young girl I tried many dance styles including street dance and contemporary. I also studied performing arts and participated in the Leeds Carnival dancing in the troops.
I love the fusion of dance and fitness that is Zumba. I completed my training in 2018 and I now teach in various locations throughout Leeds.
My passion for zumba is not just about teaching dance fitness, it’s about building a strong sense of community for women. I have worked with many women from a range of backgrounds and ages. I love to see the confidence build within the women I teach and have a great workout which is fun and inclusive to all levels of fitness and dance abilities. As a teacher i understand the importance of working with my students to make them feel comfortable and happy and work at their pace. Through positive thinking and movement we learn together.
Love and light Melissa ❤️
