I am a Licensed Zumba, Zumba Kids, and Zumba Kids jr. Instructor and have taught Zumba classes for four years. I am also a NYS certified Early Childhood and Special Education teacher with self-contained classroom experience and general education classroom experience. My self-contained experience is mainly with students with Autism, students with ADHD, and students with speech delays. I have a passion for working in inclusive settings with students who are both neurotypical and neurodiverse. 

I am a certified Special and General Education teacher and I take great pride in making my classes accessible to all. Students have the option to participate to their ability level and visuals are always paired with verbal directions. 

No pre-reqs! This is a perfect class for a child's first Outschool experience. For a child age 6 with moderate-strong gross motor skills (skipping, jumping, etc.) who is able to maintain focus for 40 minutes, choose "Inclusive Zumba Kids".
