Vanessa can remember being a little girl with the dream to one day be either become a ballerina or gymnast. Even though that was never accomplished as a young girl she always knew she had a love and passion for both things and would someday grow up to fulfill her dreams. It was not until she was in college, in 2002, that she started to go dancing with her friends and saw these professional dancers at the clubs with their extravagant costumes and beautiful performances. As her eyes sparkled, she knew at that moment she had to find a way to get into some kind of dancing career. Vanessa built up the nerve one day to audition for one of the biggest nightclubs in NYC. She knew she had absolutely no dance background but gave it her all anyway. To her happiness, she got in and has now been dancing in many different nightclubs in NY and NJ.  She has also had the pleasure to have traveled to many locations, such as Puerto Rico, Vegas, and Miami, to do huge
performances.

At the same time, four years ago, Vanessa started working for NY Sportsclub as a Personal Trainer and Group Exercise Instructor. Once she was able to start teaching classes she knew she had to incorporate her love for dance somehow in the gym atmosphere so she found Zumba Fitness. She got certified right away and realized that this program was going to be the one to help portray this passion she had into a fun class setting.
