Hello! I'm Christine , and I live in Clarkdale, AZ and I currently teach 5 classes a week in Sedona, AZ (4 live, 1 Virtual, plus have a Pre-Recorded class offering!)  I was born and raised in Pittsburgh, PA and have been an AZ resident since 1991. My grandmother was born in Puerto Rico and came to the USA with my father (who was born in Palma Soriano, Cuba) and settled in New York where my father learned English as a young boy. My father loved to dance salsa and merengue in the living room to the sounds of Celia Cruz, Tito Puente, Harry Belafonte, Buena Vista Social Club and many more! My amazing mother was Italian-so I like to say I was born "spicy"! She started my dance lessons at age 8 and was my biggest fan never missing a performance! They are both with me in spirit in every class I teach. I am currently teaching  Zumba Gold® and Aqua Zumba and I have the best students ever! Come join me, I guarantee you will leave your troubles at the door, get lost in the music, sweat like crazy and have a blast! Have questions? Don't hesitate to drop me a message! I hope to dance with you soon!
