"When we dove into this crazy idea of opening the world’s first Studio Zumba, we went with our gut instinct - as well as our love for people & Zumba. No business plan, no guarantees, we have no idea where this will take us. After teaching in many different facilities, we knew Zumba needed a permanent home with the perfect atmosphere: state-of-the-art sound, floor, mirrors and lighting. Our goal is to provide the best quality Zumba class and instructors for our participants in an intimate and comfortable, yet fun and exciting setting.

However, Zumba is secondary to the people in our lives that have driven us down this path. There is not a day that passes that we do not count what we have been blessed with - it is something we have never taken for granted. We try to handle this huge undertaking by ourselves as much as possible, but it seems there are always so many helping hands along the way.

Old friends and new friends. . .we continue to be so blessed."
