Zumba with Fredericka, Tarzana

What services does your business offer and what makes your business stand out from the competition? It's pay to play (no membership fees) with a licensed and experienced Zumba instructor in a non-judgmental and non-competitive class setting. There is also free off-street parking and it's for every level, beginner to advanced.

Exercise is challenging. How do you keep clients motivated and engaged? The music is the key, I believe. I choreograph fun and simple routines using a wide span of fun heart pumping music, from salsa and cumbia to reggaeton, hip-hop, merengue, and Bollywood. You're never bored!

What was the inspiration to start or run this business? _ I love dance, especially Latin and African styles. I have trained in every type of dance and have been fortunate to have toured the world as a performer. Zumba combines my love of all things baila with my fun and fiesty attitude and it's a hashtag win-win!_

What do you love most about your job? What do I love most? All of the ladies (and gents) who take or have taken my classes. They consistently put a smile on my face and I am so inspired by their tenacity and dedication to their goals. When they progress, I progress.
