From Danica

Inspiring is what comes to mind when I think of Joanne’s class.  She is an amazing ZUMBA instructor with so much life and personality.  As each class takes off, Joanne constantly reminds you to lose yourself in the music and most importantly to just have fun.  Her high energy and positive spirit rubs off on everyone.  Joanne is truly versatile and creative with her easy to follow choreography; each dance has its own swag and is geared to students of all abilities.  No matter what she will make you sweat, but you will always leave with a smile.  I love her class so much that I drive 30 minutes 3x a week just to take her class.  It is  because of Joanne that I am now ZUMBA OBSESSED.  I have taken ZUMBA with many instructors and I can absolutely confirm that Joanne is the best of the best.  She has inspired me to go on and get ZUMBA certified myself.  I hope to one day be half as amazing as her.

To describe Joanne's class takes one word- AWESOME. All my life I spent a lot of time going to the gym doing my traditional exercises as well as all the trendy exercise programs offered. Boredom was starting to set in with my exercise regimen. So.. I tried Joanne's ZUMBA class- incredible night, that's it I was hooked. Joanne's dance moves were easy to learn and were both fun and exciting. Her music pumped you up and really motivated you to move. Joanne's energy and smile are contagious and her workout is just plain old FUN. She's a knowledgeable instructor who is aware of what her students need. She's incredible in demonstrating dance moves and incorporating a variety of music styles. Every class is a different experience - it's one big party. You owe it to yourself to experience ZUMBA with Joanne. Getting fit was NEVER sooo much FUN!!!

As the the ZUMBA bumper sticker says: Zumba changed my wife---and can I tell you , MY LIFE. From a guy who just likes to lift weights and maintain his manly physique to a guy who wears ZUMBA shirts and move parts of  his body  he never thought could  move that way!! I admit, the only reason I tried Joanne's ZUMBA class was as a favor---the last thing I expected was to get hooked. Now I willingly participate in this dynamic dance fitness experience. Joanne is an energetic, dynamic and motivating instructor--and SHE is the main reason I was turned on to ZUMBA.
