FUZE Fitness Studio LLC, Montclair

Having studied ballet, tap dance, and Greek folk dance in her youth, Maria Kyriakakis has cultivated a lifelong fervor for world music, movement, and fitness. Her husband Pedro Goncalves—a dancer trained at London Contemporary Dance School—studied Eagle Claw kung fu, becoming one of only six people in the world to receive certification from Grandmaster Leung Shum. Today, the espoused duo leads dance and martial-arts training sessions in a studio that looks for all the world like the setting for Neo and Morpheus' first fight in The Matrix. Inside, under a vaulted ceiling, a team of instructors—including Zumba instructors Maria and Ariella—holds dance-fitness classes, and Northern style Eagle Claw kung fu classes.
