About Me
Hi, my name is Mana and I'm a psychology graduate with a passion for dancing and Zumba 💃🏻 Years ago, while jumping up and down in front of the TV with the only and first Zumba CD I had ever gotten my hands on, I noticed a change in my mood. A sense of satisfaction and happiness, reduced anxiety and increased focus, self-confidence, and the ability of my body to coordinate rhythm and movement - that's what I experienced after Zumba, and it was amazing 🤩. Something I think everyone needs to experience and enjoy. After that, I got certified in this joyful exercise in 2017 under the guidance of international instructor Esteve Boet and started teaching Zumba more seriously. I highly recommend that you too try this amazing workout! 😉
Teaching Method
My teaching approach differs for adults and children, just as the style of music does. For adults, most of the songs I use in class are produced by the Zumba company, and all international instructors use these songs and choreographies in their classes. For children, I create a positive atmosphere using slower movements, games, and cheerful songs. This helps children gradually develop the ability and confidence to dance. The general structure of my classes is the same for both age groups: at the beginning of the class, the body is warmed up with a special warm-up song, and basic movements are taught, followed by the main songs. At the end, the body is cooled down with stretching movements accompanied by beautiful cool-down songs.
Experience
I started practicing Zumba in 2011 and simultaneously began teaching group classes to children and adults in private studios and public gyms. After the start of the pandemic, I started offering online classes for adults and children, which was an interesting and enjoyable experience.
