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 ama a Certified General and Special Education Teacher. This Zumba class is built for students who are neurotypical and  neurodiverse. I incorporate both visual and verbal instructions with optional modifications.

For age 6, choose this Zumba class if they have moderate-strong gross-motor skills (able to march, skip, etc.) and experience with Zoom classes. If they are new to Zoom and need to work on those skills, choose "Zumba Kids Jr".
