Imelda Valencia Zumba instructor

Originally from Corpus Christi, Texas, I am a senior at the University of Texas in San Antonio. I have been member/performer in Latin Dance Society at the UTSA for 4 years.  I have been a zumba instructor almost a year but have been doing zumba for about four years.  I have also taught some basic salsa classes.  Dancing has always been a passion of mine, which makes instructing zumba such a fun job!

I have been teaching Group Fitness classes since 2006. I started teaching Spinning classes in 2006 to U.T. San Antonio students and advanced my fitness education by taking many Yoga and Pilates workshops through the Aerobics and Fitness Association of America (AFAA). While obtaining my degree in Art Education I decided to get a degree in Dance since its always been my passion. Through my dance experiences in Mexico and the U.S. I learned about Zumba and it changed my life forever. It is so much fun and it makes me feel extremely good. In 2009 I became a Zumba Fitness Instructor and then shortly I obtained Zumba Basics I, II and Zumba Toning certifications. I began teaching at Bella Women's Fitness in May of 2009, giving classes such as Yogilates, Yogaflow, Zumba I, II, Toning, Circuit Training and Beach Body Abs. I received my Group Exercise Instructor certification from AFAA in 2009. In 2010 I took AFAA's Kickboxing and Indoor Cycling workshops to teach ladies how to protect themselves and build endurance. Moving bodies, creating smiles and changing peoples lives is my passion. Health, wellness and fitness is a lifestyle I want everyone to endure and keep for the rest of their lives.

   Hi my name is Leilani Wilson and i am originally from Del Rio,Tx. I started dancing at the age of 3 and haven't stopped since. I was a competitive dancer in ballet,tap,jazz,lyrical and clogging. I have been in State, regional and National dance competitions all over the United States. I have won several National Dance titles for Jazz. I first received my group fitness instructor certification in 2008, and ran with it. I then received my Spinning Certification through Madd Dog athletics in 2009. I am also a licensed Zumba instructor, and teach Zumba, Zumba Gold,and Zumba Toning. I at one time was very heavy and was tired of feeling bad all the time and got up and started working out and got hooked and fitness. I love to dance and just have a Fabulous time. I love to see my students having fun and reaching their goals at the same time. I look forward to meeting you and seeing you in my classes. :)
