Verinca Domingo:
I am a mother of one working full-time in addition to being a licensed ZUMBA instructor.
I was raised on Jazzercise, Gil Jankowitz & Denise Austin since I was 10 years old.
Since having my son I had developed a "love-hate" relationship to fitness until I found the ZUMBA fitness program!
I have been especially inspired by ZUMBA and find it the most fun and gratifying way to get in shape, feel great, and satisfy my need to dance, move and get down. ZUMBA is truly exercise in disguise!
Come join me and bring a friend!
