Studio Fiesta Dance & Fitness, Kensington

Sisters Veronica and Marilin have almost always danced together since they began their training at just 3 years old. They went on to study various forms of dance—from classical to contemporary—at the National School of Ballet in Peru, as well as eventually teach modern and Afro-Peruvian dance. In 2009, they moved from their native Peru to Rockville, where they currently specialize in Zumba fitness classes that help participants burn calories as they sway, step, and backwards-somersault to Latin beats. Of course, Veronica and Marilin don't teach all of the classes, they also lead a team of well-trained instructors, all of whom are dedicated to creating a warm, welcoming, and exciting experience that achieves real results. In addition to cardio-focused Zumba classes, the studio adds strength-training to the mix with Zumba Toning classes, augmenting the dance-based workout with muscle-sculpting toning sticks.
