Hello Zumba Friends!
My name is Monica Vallejo. I'm originally from Hermosillo, Mexico and have been living in the U.S. for the past 6 years. I have a beautiful family with my husband Gonzalo, and our two handsome boys: Gabriel who is 6, and Marcelo who is 2.
I have been in dance academies since I was 6 years old and have taken different courses on jazz and tap, hawaian, hip-hop and traditional Mexican. When I was a jazz and tap instructor in Mexico, I would travel with my academy to Dance America seminars and competitions in places like Orlando, Las Vegas and San Diego.
After I got married and had children, my schedule as a wife, mother and homemaker prevented me from being involved in dancing as in years past. Ever since then I have been searching for another way of exercising and staying in shape that would be as fun and effective as dancing, and at the same time allow me to carry on with current responsibilities at home.
So it when I heard about ZUMBA I decided to give it I try...and I loved it ever since my first class! It wasn't long after I got started that I felt motivated to become an instructor in order to help those people who want to work to improve or maintain their physical fitness as part of a healthy lifestyle in a way that is fun, upbeat and addictive such as ZUMBA!
No matter what you do for a living or what your favorite music, age, lifestyle, background is, ZUMBA is for you! You don't have to be a professional dancer to get the most out of the ZUMBA workout, whether you want to lose weight, maintain your fitness level or improve your body shape. But you'll mostly find yourself having a lot a fun during our classes, just as if you were in a party!
So I invite you to come be a part of the ZUMBA family by registering for my ZUMBA class today!
