Hi! I'm Jacqueline Houtman. known in the fitness world as JJ. All my life I've loved dancing. In college, while studying biology, I used to sneak out of the lab through an underground tunnel to the theater for rehearsals. (There is a photo of me in the chorus of Pal Joey below.) Now I work as a freelance science writer and children's author. My job gives me a schedule flexible enough to allow me to attend--and teach--as many Zumba classes as I can. There are so many health benefits to dancing, especially dancing together with others. But the best thing about Zumba for me is this: Zumba makes me happy! To find out more about my classes and events, follow my Facebook page, Dance Fitness with JJ.
