Sweat Yourself Silly!As KRS10, I teach live and online dance classes that give you permission to express yourself through state-of-the-art and age-old exercise. Dancing with both freedom and structure, you’ll build mental, emotional, and physical health and resilience while losing yourself in music! Fun First, Fitness Follows.My dance students have treated and healed from conditions from depression to neuropathy to ADHD, losing weight and building strength and confidence through a practice of happiness. My teaching style is Zumba-based so it’s easy to follow, even though it challenges your mind. I first became a licensed ZIN in 2011 and enjoy nothing more than a room full of kids, teens, adults, or seniors who are ready to party! We Even Do The Snoopy Dance!What’s the “Literary Twist?” I teach dance because it gets me out from behind my computer! I’m a writer, so I can’t help but share interesting, weird things about the songs I teach and the moves I use. I often engage with current events with my playlist, so we get a chance to work out our feelings as well. I got certified in Positive Psychology by The Flourishing Center, so I’m practiced at expanding positive emotion. |
