  About Lis, our new instructor
  

  "I am originally from Venezuela, so dancing has always been a big part of my life. I have to dance when I hear Latin music, so am very happy to have found Zumba.

  As one of the first teachers of Zumba here in San Diego, I’ve learned to streamline my class so that your workout is maximized. 

  There is nothing better than to work at something that is also my passion. I have been dancing my way through various fitness centers and dance studios."
  -Lisbeth "Lis" Garces
  
  
  

  Over the years, she earned the following certifications:

  1. Zumba Fitness featuring exotic rhythms set to high-energy Latin music
  2. Zumba Gold Beginner or active older adult level of Latin-inspired aerobic dance.
  3. Zumba Toning combining body-sculpting exercises with high-energy cardio work
  4. ZumbAtomic for kids ages 4-12
  5. Aqua Zumba Pool Party workout for all ages using the Zumba formula and Traditional aqua techniques.
