My passion for dance began as early as I can remember. While others were playing with dolls, I spent my time choreographing dance routines and teaching them to the neighborhood children. I quickly realized that this was my passion in life and that one day I would share this joy with others through teaching.

I was born and raised in Puerto Rico, where I started dancing at the age of four. Going from Latin, to Ballet, to Jazz and Hip Hop, dancing has always been a passion of mine along with art and American Sign Language. I am truly grateful to be able to say that all of these things have made me who I am today. "There are short-cuts to happiness, and dancing is one of them, so dance away!" |

J-Hon
Dancing is my passion!! I started dancing in my sophomore year in high school as a bet, and never thought I was going to love it so much. I then decided to study and train in different styles of dance. I am a Zumba certified instructor and have been training for two years in Ballroom and six years in Hip Hop! I am from Colombia, so all the Latin rhythms are second nature to me! |

Like a true Latina, my Colombian background has provided me with a Latin flavor that runs through my blood. For me, dancing is not a hobby or a status. Dancing is an expression of love, of life, of the love of life! |

Becky
I began practicing Yoga during my sophomore year in college at the University of Central Florida in 2003. The euphoria I left with after each class, AKA "Yoga Brain", drew me back for more and noticed immediate mental benefits of increased focus and concentration followed soon by the physical benefits of continued practice. I currently teach both Yoga and Aqua Fitness all over Central Florida. I am so thankful that my path has led me down this road and to share the joy and positive energy with others. |
